Average ticket price represents a weighted average of
season ticket prices for general seating categories, determined by factoring the
tickets in each price range as a percentage of the total number of seats in each
ballpark. Luxury suites are also excluded from the survey. Season-ticket pricing
is used for any team that offers some or all tickets at lower prices for
customers who buy season tickets.
The Fan Cost Index™ comprises the prices of two (2) adult average-price
tickets, two (2) child average-price tickets, two (2) small draft beers, four
(4) small soft drinks, four (4) regular-size hot dogs, parking for one (1) car,
two (2) game programs and two (2) least expensive, adult-size adustable caps.
Costs were determined by telephone calls with representatives of the teams,
venues and concessionaires. Identical questions were asked in all
interviews.
| 1 | Numbers listed as on team's Web site or provided by outside sources. |
| 2 | The Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox have variable pricing at different price levels - Cubs: Value (6 games), Regular (31 games) and Prime (44 games). White Sox: Monday (6 games). Regular (38 games). Prime (15 games) and Premier (22 games). |
| 3 | The ticket prices for the new Busch Stadium did not increase dramatically. The 12.1 percent average ticket price increase is a result of the addition of several new seating categories and additional capacity. The stadium will not be at full capacity until July 13. The team does not control any parking around the stadium. |
| 4 | Prices for the Canadian teams are converted to US dollars and comparison prices were converted using the current exchange rate of $1USD=$1.11 CAD. The 2005 exchange rate was $1USD=$1.15 CAD. |
| 5 | The Tampa Bay Devil Rays only provided ticket prices for this year's FCI. Concessions and parking prices were added later thanks to reports from the St. Petersburg Times. |
| 6 | The Texas Rangers adjusted seating capacities prior to the 2005 season, which was not reflected in the 2005 FCI. |
