Mets to raise ticket prices 20% for 2008

[itsnotrequired]

The Mets, coming off a historically crushing end to their 2007 season, are increasing their ticket prices by "on average, about 20 percent," Dave Howard, the team's executive vice president of business operations, said Saturday.

Mike Weinstat, a Port Washington resident, told Newsday the season tickets he shares with a friend -- located in the loge boxes right off home plate -- are increasing 24 percent, from approximately $71 per game per ticket to approximately $88.

Just wait until the new Shea stadium!

I don't know their historical ticket prices but as a fan would you rather have an increase of a couple of bucks every other year or so or no increases for 4 or 5 years, then a big one like this?
