I know I'm probably going to get bashed for this but it's how i feel. While i won't gurantee it to be fact my guess is that the reason why fans in Arizona are not going to the game is b/c perhaps maybe they are the only ones who realize that it's an insult to their intelligence that u have to pay as much as $1000(ticket broker price) for one lousy ticket to see a ballgame. I'm sure that the face value ticket prices for this series are no better. It's just me but i wouldn't for the life of me pay 500-1000 dollars just to see a ballgame. If that doesn't make me a real baseball fan in the eyes of some so be it but that's how i feel.

U may be right Pronk but there is no law that says the people have to fill up the stadium to see an event if they choose not to do that. Not every person in this country feel that same way. if the people of Arizona choose not to go to the games for whatever reason that is their right & their choice.

I agree with you, the fact that they are charging that much for tickets is pure BS!! What about all the fans that have been regularly coming to games and supporting their team? This is the thanks they get? Being told that all the good seats are being reserved for people with money? Now that's not right.

Yeah Dback fans have been screwed before, too. They win the World Series and the owner pretty much cleans the slate. They're already in a bad spot...similar to Florida. Lots of people relocate there.

Baseball just isn't the biggest thing in AZ.

I hope you are wrong.
The Diamondbacks is a very good team. Maybe they should relocate.

Hey are you right or are you right! What I love is our football team (the Vikings) screamed for an indoor stadium and now they are screaming for an outdoor one. This year we have started building a new baseball field, a college football field and are talking about a new pro football field. People who don't even go to the games end up paying for the stadiums with increased tax dollars. Then we get clobbered with high ticket prices too.

Well I wouldn't pay those prices either. You'd have to be either completely nuts or filthy rich!...However, what you have to pay depends on when you buy the tickets and from what source. Believe it or not I went to the first game of the playoff series (DBacks vs Cubs), had good seats about 2/3 up along the 3rd base side, and paid just $21 including tax! But I purchased the tickets as soon as they were available from the official ticket site. Scalping tickets at outrageous prices is typical anywhere when it comes to playoff and championship games. Phoenix is no different than anywhere else in that respect. I guess the early bird gets the worm, and the late bird gets shafted! But if you buy the tickets at the earliest possible date and don't mind sitting up a ways, the prices seem surprisingly reasonable.

Dude, there were still 10,000 tickets available for games 1 and 2 as of a few days ago. Don't give me this crap about high broker prices when you can still walk up to the ticket office and buy a $40 ticket. Get out there and support your team. There's no excuse to have so many empty seats during a LCS.

that's one of the reasons why west coast teams get no respect.they cant even come out and support their team ....in the playoffs!don't give me that crap about ticket prices....watch fenway pack em in....and their payroll salary is one of the highest in the league...so you know tickets wont be cheap...but i guarantee that fenway will sold out.

to top it off...the ones that did show,some of them anyway,are throwing trash on the field during the game.that's bush league,pitiful display.i thought Arizona fans were better than that.

No that is complete BS, check Stubhub you can get tickets to Game 2 of the NLCS for $15.90. I payed $225 for a pair of tickets in Anaheim last week just to see my boys get swept but hey thats life. They do not sell out, so you dont have to pay the awful broker prices. C-mon D-back fans support your team.

There were tickets available just hours before the game for face value. It's clearly not "insulting ticket prices" of $1000/ticket that prevents the stadium from selling out quickly. Indeed the Diamondbacks state that it was a sell-out game last night. I do not know what kept fans who bought tickets from showing up - the stadium should have been more full for a sell-out.

I read an article that they had nearly 2,000 tickets that were only $12.00, if you bought them at the stadium box office, that didn't sell. No excuses for those tickets to go unsold.
