You're right, DC. It is criminal. We were down in Florida last year and wanted to get Rays tickets. They say right on their website that pricing and/or parking is different if they're playing the Red Sox or the Yankees.

Broadway shows ARE out of control, as are some of the other venues mentioned. We took my daughter to the Met to see the Nutcracker a few years ago. We had orchestra seats, but they were by no means front row. By the time we paid parking, tolls, tickets and dinner in NYC, we figured that the evening cost us close to $600.
