Labor Day Weekend Baseball GameLabor Day is one of the oldest holidays in the United States, and is a part of the "big six" federal holidays. First celebrated in 1878, Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894. Over the years, Labor Day has come to represent a slew of  different things to people. To the working crowd, it is a day to celebrate ones hard work and labor. Others treat it as a day of rest and relaxation, while others simply spend the day with family, friends, and perhaps some good food. To students, labor day marks the end of the summer and the beginning of the fall term or semester.

No matter how you treat Labor day, everyone can agree that it is the perfect day to go to a concert or sporting event with friends or family. Although some people will go to relax and unwind, and others will go to celebrate the end of the summer, a live concert, or perhaps a baseball game is the perfect activity for Labor Day weekend 2011.

Labor Day always takes place on the first Monday in September. This year, Labor Day falls on September 5, with the weekend ranging from Friday, September 2 until Monday, September 5.

How much are Christian Lopez's Seats worth?

Christian Lopez seatsSo, just how much are Christian Lopez's tickets worth, anyway? The lucky New York Yankees fan who caught Derek Jeter's 3000th-hit ball is a polarizing figure. Some are criticizing him for not selling the ball (some estimates say he could've sold it for $250,000) while others are praising him for not even considering it, showing that he's a true Yankees fan at heart.

Instead of selling the ball, all he requested was some signed Yankees memorabilia and to meet his idol, Derek Jeter. The Yankees also rewarded him with some high-priced luxury box seats for the rest of the season and playoffs. While there hasn't been an official release from the Yankees regarding what seats Lopez received, USA today reported that Lopez was given four front-row Legends seats to Sunday's game and four Champions Suite season tickets for the remainder of the season and playoffs.

According to the Yankees' official website, Legends front-row seats range from $975 to $1,600 depending on the section. So, multiply by four and the Legends seats Lopez received are worth somewhere between $3,900 and $6,400.

As for the Champions Suite tickets, the Yankees have 32 home games remaining this season. Once again according to the Yankees' site, Champions Suite tickets are either $475 or $575 per seat depending on row and section. This equates to $1,900 on the low end and $2,300 on the high end per game -- or $60,800 to $73,600 for the rest of the season (not even including the playoffs)!

In total, the face value of the seats that Lopez received from the Yankees is somewhere between $64,700 and $80,000.

Starting on the 22nd, the Yankees have an ten-game homestand in which they'll be playing the Oakland Athletics, Seattle Mariners, and Baltimore Orioles. We decided to take a look at the secondary market for these seats similar to Diaz's. In short, if Diaz were to buy these seats on the secondary market for the next week, this is approximately what he'd pay (prices based on section 13 of Yankee Stadium):

  • Oakland at New York, July 22nd - $463 x 4 = $1,852
  • Oakland at New York, July 23rd - $560 x 4 = $2,240
  • Oakland at New York, July 24th - $560 x 4 = $2,240
  • Seattle at New York, July 25th - $463 x 4 = $1,852
  • Seattle at New York, July 26th - $463 x 4 = $1,852
  • Seattle at New York, July 27th - $468 x 4 = $1,872
  • Baltimore at New York, July 29th - $463 x 4 = $1,852
  • Batlimore at New York, July 30th (day) - $560 x 4 = $2,240
  • Baltimore at New York, July 30th (night) - $1,125 x 4 (section 15A) = $4,500
  • Baltimore at New York, July 31st - $560 x 4 = $2,240

 

Total: 40 tickets, $22, 740
Average: $568.50 per ticket

 

Some people may be criticizing this guy, but if it's the Yankees that really make him happy, can you blame him? The upcoming homestand would've cost the average person over $20,000 on the secondary market for these seats! What else is there to say? Enjoy them, Christian!

4th of July Baseball--Most Popular Games

by Mallory on June 29th, 2011 No Comments

Independence Day celebrations are right around the corner, and Americans across the country are gearing up for a weekend of cookouts, fireworks, and...baseball? That's right, some of the biggest teams in the MLB will be going head to head on the 4th. With nearly the whole country off from work, next Monday's games are the perfect opportunity for busy baseball fans to hit the ballpark.

With the weekend approaching, SeatGeek took a look at secondary market prices to determine the holiday's most popular match-ups:


The most demanded 4th of July tickets are by far for the Red Sox-Blue Jays game in Boston. With a 45-33 record, the Red Sox are currently ranked second in the American league, trailing the Yankees by just 1.5 games.  They have one of the most loyal fan bases in baseball, so it's no surprise that prices for  Red Sox tickets would top the list. Despite the popularity of this weekend's Fenway tickets, SeatGeek was able to find seats for as low as $47 in the Grandstands.

Of the July 4th games that did not make the most-demanded list, the Colorado Rockies @ Atlanta Braves matchup offers the cheapest "get-in" tickets: $6 for section 435.

In honor of the millionth (just kidding) meeting between these two storied teams, we decided to take a look at our data from the MLB regular season this year and compare the Red Sox and Yankees ticket prices.

The two teams are currently battling for first place in the extremely competitive American League East. The teams are both tied for first right now, though the Yankees have played two less games. The Sox sit at 34-26 while the Bronx Bombers have a 33-25 record.

The teams began a three-game series in New York on Tuesday night, with the Red Sox taking the first contest by a score of 6-4. The teams will play again tonight and tomorrow. If you're looking to go to tonight's game and need some last-minute tickets, the average price right now is $87 with seats as cheap as $16. Tomorrow night's game is a bit more pricey, coming in at an average of $137.

Looking at our data for this season as a whole, this is what we've found:

As shown by the graph, Boston's ticket prices pretty steadily declined from the start of the season likely due to their very disappointing start after bringing in stud players Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford. However, prices have picked up as the Red Sox have done the same with their play.

Overall, the Yankees' average ticket prices have sat below the Red Sox' likely because of the teams' stadium capacities. Fenway Park seats about only 37,000 while the newer Yankee Stadium can hold around 52,000.
