Twins ticket prices less than other Professional Sports

Minnesota Twins ticket prices have stayed steady compared to other sports as far as season ticket prices go. Minnesota Timberwolves charge $250 for a center court seat and the Minnesota Vikings charge $125 for a 50 yard line seat whereas the Minnesota Twins charge only $50 for a seat behind home plate. Sure, the Vikings have fewer games and opportunities to make their revenue, while the Minnesota Twins have 81 home games a season, but comparably the Minnesota Twins and the MLB are a lower price ticket.

If the Minnesota Twins raised their ticket prices I think they would anger a lot of longtime and loyal baseball fans. Not too long ago there was a special on the news about a Twins fan that had been to every game for like 30 years and he was 80 years old! I doubt he would be too please if the Minnesota Twins gave him the shaft. Of course the new stadium will not pay for itself, but drastically raising the Minnesota Twins ticket prices would not be the best way to do so. Upsetting the fans is the last thing the Minnesota Twins should do. Maybe they are waiting to see if the Twins make it far in the playoffs before announcing Twins ticket prices in the new stadium. This issue has been weighing heavily on my mind, can you tell? This is like the third time I have wrote about it this month.

More on Minnesota Twins Ticket Prices

Baseball thrives on being the American sport. I love that it caters to all economic and social classes. I think it is much different than say the NFL and even the NHL in some markets (i.e. here in Minnesota unless you are willing to camp out overnight for the cheap coveted upper level tickets). The general admission Minnesota Twins tickets start out fairly inexpensive for someone who is looking to just get in the door or who has 5 kids and want a fun yet cheap activity to do on a Sunday afternoon. I have heard that the new Minnesota Twins stadium will feature these kinds of ‘cheap seats’, but how cheap, no one will tell. I am hoping that my corporate America sister can score us some nicer, corporate level suite tickets so I can have a taste of the good life, too. You can bet that I will be making plans to go to the new Twins stadium, but how much am I willing to spend? Oh that is such a tough question.

Minnesota Twins Price Predictions

Everyone knows (well, most everyone – unless you live under a rock in the Twin Cities) that the Minnesota Twins are currently building a new stadium. Twins tickets prices may or may not go up because of this. I think that the prices will stay the same, but nicer club and suites will become available. The Minnesota Wild have their club and suite levels that cater to corporate events and clientele that want a nicer atmosphere and experience. The Twins would be foolish not to follow suit (or should I say suite ? –ha ha). The Minnesota Twins are set to have their new stadium finished for the 2010 season. A sponsorship deal for the new stadium has not been set up yet. A large corporate sponsor could also mean Minnesota Twins ticket prices could be less! Any predictions Twins fans? On the ticket prices or the big corporate sponsor…

Texas Rangers at Minnesota Twins attendance

One more Minnesota Twins Texas Rangers fact: It was the largest three-game series home attendance total for the Twins this season! Bigger than the Milwaukee Brewers, bigger than the New York Yankees – the Metrodome clicked 101,248 fans over the Twins Rangers three game series for an average of 33,749 fans per game. Way to show up Twins fans! I am willing to bet that the September 23-25 Chicago White Sox at Minnesota Twins series will be bigger, though. The AL Central will be on the line. I can’t wait!

Have a safe and happy Labor Day, Twins Fans!
