That is 500% percent more!! As you would say yikes!!!

I can't think of anything that has gone up that much not even healthcare.
If you buy the tickets in advance at the box office, it will be $20 for two general admission tickets. Yes, it has gone up a lot. When we first came down it was $6 for two.But, I still feel it is well worth it. It's a beautiful, relaxing day out, IMO.
It also helps if you understand what is happening in the game. There are always the regulars who are very willing to explain. They sit in the center on the ground floor of the stadium. The Villages also employs two women who walk through the crowd looking for first-timers and explain the game to them.
