I don’t go to Buck games but I have season tickets for Marquette basketball. The tickets are expensive while parking and refreshments cost more than the tickets.

..then there’s the Brewers. You’re a fan Dan, so you know how much you pay for tickets, parking and refreshments at Miller Park. I think major league baseball is as expensive as professional basketball, yet Brewer attendance has soared the past few years. I think cost is an issue but the Bucks have been so bad for so long that many people simply lost interest.

@James – I don’t understand. What would be funny and/or ironic?

Yeah Boy, I’m sure you typed that in thinking it would be funny and “ha ha ironic!”. It comes off just the opposite. It’s no wonder that with that kind of attitude your side is winning over the masses on how to get things done.

As to the point, the Bucks do have specials on tickets, but you rarely hear about them in time to purchase. It doesn’t do me any good to hear about a ticket special the day of the game…

We should get the state legislature to do something about this.
Obviously, it is in the best interest of the “little guy” to regulate this industry. A little government intervention is all we need here.
