Wow. What’s a good comparison for when tickets are usually this expensive?

  @Dirty Pena, The most similar we’ve seen in our year-plus tracking the ticket market was when Brett Favre announced his ‘un-retirement’ last year. Prices for all Vikings games went up about 150% and prices for the Vikings-Packers game a Lambeau field went up by over 200%. Prices eventually game down a bit over the course of the season, but that was the biggest single-day spike we’ve ever seen.

  To elaborate, I mean for the Grandstand. And I don’t even know what a “Grandstand Baseline” is. Grandstand infield is $25 season, $29 advance, $30 day of game. Grandstand outfield is $20 season, $22 advance, $23 day of game.

    At TiqIQ, we define our TiqZones using a methodology that combines sections we believe are comparable in value. For the the average faceprice calculation, we look at the average of available inventory across all sections in a TiqZone. In order to keep the number of TiqZones to a manageable level, we often combine sections with different face prices. As a result, the average faceprice we show may not line up with the faceprice for a section the team has defined. Yankee Stadium in particular has a very complex seating and pricing structure, and our goal is to strike a balance between simplifying things and providing sufficient detail so you can make the most informed buying decision.

    We’re always refining our TiqZones, though, so if you have specific suggestions about our approach, or even suggestions about a specific TiqZone, I’d certainly welcome them. Feel free to reach me directly at jesse@tiqiq.com.

    Thanks.

Why have the ticket prices spiked?? Is there a special ceremony on Friday for George M.?? I still have my stubs from the 60′s (Mantle and Maris), My dad took me to the stadium every weekend..we sat right behind home plate for $3.50 a seat!
RIP Mr. Steinbrenner.

  The ceremony wasn’t actually announced until today around 2pm, and since then prices have gone down a bit, but people were anticipating something for the first game back.
