I understand... COGS has nothing to do with it. If every event was a sell out you might have a point. But you don't. COGS has absolutely nothing to do with it. Pricing is determined by the market. Where there is competition no one competitor can raise prices.

RW, > If every event was a sell out you might have a point. But you don't. We're talking about the Yankees here. Most of their games sell out. How about we limit Pay-Rod and Jeter to $800K/year? Whoops, that only means Steinbrenner pockets the savings. Let's limit him to $800K/year as well. Think that will have any effect on ticket prices? Yeah right, as if Steinbrenner is going to say, "Man, I can't make more than $800K/year on this team. Let's drop ticket prices." Tenchusatsu P.S. - Of course, this assumes that Pay-Rod, Jeter, and all the other high-priced Yankee ball players even remain with the Yankees if they're limited to $800K/year. Alex Rodriguez isn't called "Pay-Rod" for nothing, you know.
