It's Just a Game Afterall

I just heard on the radio that the New York Mets are charging people who want season tickets for the new Mets stadium from $1,000 to $20,000 for the right to buy the tickets. Did I hear that correctly, you are expected to pay for the right to pay? Presumably that also includes the right to pay $5.00 for a hot dog and ten bucks for a beer or $5.00 for a $.99 big gulp soda. 
We are talking about baseball right? While I have never been to a major league baseball game I have to believe it is still an event where 18 overpaid grown men hit a ball around a field and try and catch it. On the other hand, I should talk as I enjoy chasing an even smaller ball over five miles of countryside in and out of(mostly in) sand and water. :-5
But give me a break, isn’t this fee a little like a restaurant charging you for one of those flashing beeper things so you can wait around for forty minutes to get a table, which by the way I refuse to do. I guess I shouldn't give them any ideas.
Rise up America; demand your right to spend your money frivolously without a fee to do so! What’s next, a five hundred dollar fee so you can bankrupt your family to visit that darn mouse? :-3
I wonder how the people who want Congress to control the profits of US corporations or raise the taxes on hedge fund billionaires will deal with this one. “Mr. Steinbrenner, we have called you before this Committee to¦to¦say George, can I get an autograph? :-4:-4
