@@Johnfisher12345 Within the first minute of the video, Brodie says that these are prices in Stubhub (most people know they are a reseller) and that the prices can go up and down. Regardless of actual ticket prices or resell ticket prices, $1200 is way too much for an A’s game at a minor league park for a regular season game. And yes, I assume the prices will drop eventually.

The seat prices will probably lower as sumpply/demand becomes more apparent, but this reminds me of an interesting paradox that played out when the NHL was in Atlanta.

Also note that there is no open, web based public sale of A's tickets by the A's; the website directs you to call them for season ticketing opportunities. I assume these tickets are being offered for sale by a few people who bought season tickets and are testing the waters. We'll have to wait until single tickets go on sale later to really get a sense of pricing - there's no doubt they will be higher than in Oakland due to the novelty factor and the much smaller seating capacity.

Let’s view it from the most important angle. It will be a huge disappointment if any single game there does NOT sell out.

[@jonathann1369]

Fair point. It will be disappointing if the sun doesn’t rise tomorrow as well. Every game will. Even when the River Cats began in the 90’e, quite a frenzy for even AAA. Sac Republic, minor league soccer. Ticket frenzy for a few years breaking minor league records. And again, that’s minor league stuff. The Kings at Arco sold out almost every game. The Kings, last year, did as well. Every game. The town is sports crazy. The re-sale ticket price angle is buzz worthy, for sure.

Seems eerily similar to the Arizona Coyotes charging more to play in a minor league arena.

Thanks for keeping it real, Brodie!

John Fischer did say you would get to see Aaron Judge hit HR's, he didn't say it would be super expensive.

[@jackyukon2243]

How many businesses will be “persuaded” to purchase blocks of tickets? Of course, if they can’t sell the tickets, they can still use the cardboard cutouts left over from the Wuflu year to fill the seats.

[@hefferj23]

Idk, you could do this with airlines and see the same thing. Try to book a ticket 6+ months out and the prices are >4x what they sell for 1 month before the flight. Fools and their money are easily parted.

[@SlipKid1975]

Even though I live in Roseville, I have no desire to attend an A’s game again but is the reseller market the only option for fans interested in buying tickets?

[@vulgarwoodworks]

3:05 This was quickly glossed over, but the heat is going to be a MAJOR issue. You're 90+ degrees before noon in the dead of summer. I'm curious to see how the TV ratings fair if MLB schedules games with a 10am start time. Will advertisers pull their ads? Will NBC Sports cut their losses after a season? When will the Player's Union step in? Most people in Sac won't consider shelling out a mortgage payment for a baseball game. Sac is Kings territory

[@jasontapia1032]

The A's will be mostly be playing night games in Sacramento. Probably have less than 10 day games. Even at night-time in Sacramento it'll still be 70-80 degrees in summer. Compared to Oakland where it's cool at night-time 50-60 degrees

[@Turnkey_BM]

These games are not going to get any national coverage.

[@DuckOfRubber]

@@Turnkey_BM The first pitch time isn’t the thing keeping the A’s off national TV

[@ronclark9724]

Heat had never been a problem in Texas with the MLB and the players association demanding to play Sunday afternoon games when the temperature was over 100 without a cloud in the sky... All us fans were suffering like Bugs Bunny in a Looney Tunes cartoon in the middle of a desert... The fans demanded evening games, not afternoon games.... The players are paid far too much, they can get home at 5 am and sleep on the plane...

[@chrisfortier250]

It’s kind of pathetic that Fisher would be willing to take a potential loss rather than keeping the team in Oakland. Personally, he should’ve been forced to sell the team. He doesn’t care about a single thing in this situation. I wish a lot of misfortune on him.

[@striderhanzo]

This is outrageous. I paid $204 for the final home game at the coliseum. for 4 seats in section 110. Aint no way travelling to Sacramento in the hottest time of the year to watch baseball. Yet another place John Fisher will never show up to.

[@jgomezsti]

$110 per tix @ 14k seats = 1.5mill per game

[@FrankEP85]

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the River Cats will have more sell outs in 2025 than the A’s will.

[@oiler62]

If they somehow make the playoffs, it can be even higher. Will the Gnats let them play at Oracle? Or will Oakland be back in the mix?

[@gerardosantiago3960]

That resell tickets u gotta go with ticketmaster
