If 2000 people want to watch a game in a 50,000 seat stadium, prices go down. If 5,000,000 people want to watch game 7 of the World Series, prices go up due to demand. Simple supply side economics All of this is independent of player salaries.

I dont agree with you Ish, sure the salaries can have an affect on the price of tickets and concessions. Where are you getting your facts from. Sure the demand has something to do with it, but its not the stock market. The owners do everything in their power not to raise prices but you cannot tell me that is not a factor
