Ticket prices keep on rising

If you’ve been to Fenway (or tried to go) anytime at all in the past 5 years, nothing I am going to say will shock you.
Ticket prices in major league baseball have risen 10.9% for this upcoming season. The average ticket price is now $25.40.
Ticket prices for the Red Sox have risen 10.1%. The average ticket price is now $48.80. By far the most expensive in the league. Second place is the Chicago Cubs at $42.49 (up 23.9% from last season.)
Here is where the numbers become scary: the average fan cost index (four average tickets, two small beers, four small sodas, four hot dogs, parking for one car, two game programs, and two adult-sized caps) aka average price for a family outing is.. $320.71.
I know that everyone praises John Henry and company for modernizing Fenway Park but who can afford $320 to take their family to a ballgame? Give me a break..
