Slightly OT: outrageous prices at sporting events.

[kywildcats8]

We still go to a lot of concerts every year, both stadium level and small club level and a few sporting events each yr-nothing is cheap anymore, but I love live music and probably always will- if u drink alcohol, most places let you take an unsealed water bottle (which they never check) into the venue- to save a few $$, empty the water and put in your favorite clear liquid and just buy your mixer at the event- helps a little bit

Anybody that would pay that is insane.
Unless it’s for charity or something.

Unless Giada DeLaurentis is hand making those wings and pizza in the VIP box that's absolutely highway robbery.

Shes a very underrated hot celeb. Or rather, naturally beautiful.

What is this "chaser" you speak of? 😉

I grew up attending sporting events and my folks were frugal (and never broke). We always used to eat a full meal before the game (usually at home), drink water from the free fountain during the game and eat again after the game if needed.

Even as an adult, I take the same approach. Stadium/arena food is overpriced, usually very mediocre and I hate the idea of being a captive customer. I don’t mind to pay top dollar for good eats. I refuse to pay top dollar for BS.

You could get the full escort experience on the strip for $99. Flyers and ads are everywhere.

That's absolutely disgusting and awful. Where specifically so I know where to avoid?

Sports gets nothing from me. I don't partake. I watch but I don't feed the monster. Why?
The monster is big and fat.

Zero bucks.
I'm the same with some companies too. I don't buy anything they produce. That way I wash my hands of the problems they make.

"I had nothing to do with it" is my got damn motto nowadays.
Wash your hands of giving money and/or power and turn your back.

You can deal with reality better when your not complicit. Truly.

If people would stop paying the outrages prices, we wouldn't have the outrageous prices. Unfortunately, people have more money than they do common sense, even in a crappy economy.

And I thought $9 for a Coke at Rupp was ripping me off. Wow!

Sports could definitely use an Eddie Vedder right now.
