A friend of mine is selling some of his Padres baseball tickets. Really nice seats behind first base. The price? Three hundred dollars for a pair of tickets. Padres are having a good run (have you looked at the Mets record?) but there is no way I could swing it.
I am too cheap.
I don't see how people do it. I started watching the Padres as a kid when they were a minor league team at Westgate Park. I was too young to see them at Lane Field. Probably paid four bucks a ticket. I know that was a long time ago but sheesh.
I don't think I could have fun spending that kind of dough.
Ditto concert tickets.
I was checking out shows at the Belly-Up recently and was astounded by the prices. Here is an example but pretty much par for the course today.
Two hundred bucks for an Eagles tribute band? I wouldn't even pay that to see the Eagles, unless maybe they brought Don Felder back.
I hate to sound like a grandpa but in my day...
Paid $4.50.
Mick's birthday concert no less.
I know that times have changed but I haven't. I still hate to buy razor blades they cost so much these days and don't even ask about gasoline.
How much is Disneyland today?
My god. No wonder everybody is broke. Don't even ask about streaming services. How the hell do people afford this?
I am glad that I am comfortable out in nature. My normal recreation is free or limited to a Parks pass. Cheap entertainment is where it is at for me. And a decent meal every once in a while.
God bless all of you that can afford it. Some of these recreational pursuits are so expensive that I would feel guilt ridden the whole time I was there, couldn't enjoy them anyway.
