Brewers Raise Ticket Prices

The team will raise prices on 24,000 seats for the first time since 2002. The average ticket price next season will be $18.82, under the expected league-wide average of about $22, according to Team Marketing Report.

The Brewers, who had their best season since 1992 with an 81-81 finish, are one of four teams that didn't raise regular game ticket prices from 2002-05.

The biggest price increase is in the loge bleachers -- up 50 percent to $15 a game -- followed by the loge infield box (up 15 percent to $30), loge diamond box (10 percent to $33), loge outfield box (10 percent to $22), field infield box (8.5 percent to $38) and field outfield box (7 percent to $30). Milwaukee also combined the club infield box and club outfield box -- the infield box will remain $35, while the outfield box will increase 35 percent to $35.

The team will also charge more for marquee games in 2006 -- seven games against the Cubs and a three-game weekend series in June against the Cardinals. Those prices will range from 31 percent more to 140 percent more per game. Last year, the team had 13 marquee games.

Brewers are on the up and up so I hope Brewers fans will still go to the games despite the higher prices. Brewers are a team worth watching now.

Despite higher prices? The prices are still below the league average. With Brewers really trying to improve, bout time that new owner raise prices.
