@bernietb Nope. Absolute madness. MLB shooting themselves in the foot. Look at the rise of the A-League, starts with low ticket pricing.

Well done to the @ABLeague for disenfranchising 2 baseball fans just a little more. I'd rather pay to fly to the US to see a game.

Matthew Douglas @theunderdoug
Yo @ABLeague what's the deal with the ticket pricing for the MLB game at the SCG? It's almost cheaper for me to fly to the USA to see a game

Bernard T. Bolt Esq @bernietb
Am I the only one that thinks those ticket prices for the Dodgers/DBacks MLB games at the SCG are utterly absurd?

Annoyed that SCG members have to pay for tickets to @MLB. I thought membership let you enter the ground for sports events @SCGTrustMedia
