Remember my previous plurk about the Miracle being rebranded as the Mighty Mussels and the hike in season ticket prices from $375 to $700 accompanied by removal of free parking and other benefits (which benefits you could buy back at $50 a month/$250 for the season ... such a deal)? Well, I just got an email from my season ticket rep.
"One thing that has changed is pricing for our new plans at the ballpark. However, after working with our new management I have gotten approval to offer all of you your exact seats, prices, and benefits for the next few seasons. When you go on our team site, prices/packages will be different than what you will have available to you. "
I'm guessing that I'm not the only long time season ticket holder to balk at paying the prices they were asking.
Corporate greed isn’t always deaf!
Glad they are listening to the oh hell noes from longtime fans
In other news, MLB is threatening to 'streamline' their system by cutting all but about 36 minor league teams. Why, oh why, did it become all about the money? 
Wow
MLB’s plan to eliminate 42 minor league baseball tea...
My local team, the Vermont Lake Monsters is one of the teams scheduled to be cut.
one of my old favorites, the Lancaster JetHawks, near Edwards AFB, is on the block as well
The article says that "about a quarter" of existing minor league teams would get cut, not all but 36. Still not good, but not as horrific as that would've been. And the article Gingo links has a link in it to a NYT list of potential cuts, if you all want to find your teams.
Thorn, I'm glad you're going to have a few more years before you feel that absurd price hike! Guess you're staying with the Miracle for a bit?
