That's because they did it with the guys that filled that last 5 years ago.

The Phillies are selling spring training tickets in tiers.  The "premium" games (Saturdays plus a couple others) have a $5 premium per ticket.

Box seats are $30/ticket or $35 with the premium.  For practice.  So a family of four can figure on $140 for tickets plus at least another $100 for parking, food, drinks, etc. and that's not even counting lodging or getting there.

$250 for a spring training game to see a team that might lose 110 games next year.

Total retardation.

Honestly it's not surprising.

Everyone is all up in your pockets nowadays. We get nickle and dimed to death.

Pete Mackanin knows it's going to be a "hairy situation" but plans to tell team legend Ryan Howard during spring training that if he wants to play, he'll have to hit better: "I'm going to tell him, 'If you want to face lefties, you have to hit them better. If you don't hit them better, I'm going to platoon.' That's basically what we're looking at. It's gotten to that point."

Haha a few years late there, skip.
