The team’s a winner– so the prices are going up

Sports Illustrated reports that the AL Champion Tampa Bay Rays are raising ticket prices $1-$5 next year, following their first winning season. Tickets for most games will cost $10-$210, although some games against popular competition will cost more. Nothing succeeds like success, and although I haven’t even made it out to the Dell Diamond to catch a AAA Express game in years, I think it’s a better deal to pay a bit more to watch a pennant winner than kill time in the bleachers watching the hapless Rays of old.
