Last summer, a guy at work flew his family to California. They spent a day at Disneyland and I was just SHOCKED at what he said a day in the Magic Kingdom costs these days. Just his wife and two kids and the amount was staggering.

Talking about school busses and Compton, CA.
When I was in HS, I took part in a track meet that we were bussed to. It wasn't in Compton but it was close.
Total surprise that we won the meet. As we pulled away, our bus was pelted with rocks. I remember a couple of broken windows and the coach screaming GET DOWN!
Poor losers, wouldn't you say? :

I haven't been do a MLB game since I was a teenager as it is just too expensive which. I really like baseball but I won't pay that much for tickets so I go to minor league games from time to time. We used to go to Richmond Braves games all the time and those tickets are very cheap.

Yeah, these days it's much better to let those that don't mind spending a fortune goto the big league games and when I want to see live ball to go to a minor league game. Here in NJ that was impossible 15 years ago. Now we have out choice of a couple of major league affiliates (Yankees AA Trenton Thunder and the Phillies high A Lakewood Blue Claws) and a host of unaffiliated teams (Atlantic City Surf, Camdem River Sharks, Jersey Jackals, Newark Bears, Somerset Patriots...). Cheap, entertaining and the players are actually hungry.

The cost of going to sporting events today is unbelievable.
I know what you mean, when I was in high school I would cut school grab the Bus to the train and head on down to Wrigley Field get a bleacher seat have a hot dog and a coke at some point then head home and still have change left from my twenty.
Now I would spend twenty just to park.

Tell me about it here in Chicago you will pay at least $35 a ticket for either the Cubs of the Sox but our one minor league team (Kane County Cougars) are between $8 and $12. Plus we have two teams in the Northern League whose tickets are between $5 and $10.

As a Yankees season ticket holder, My Dad and I were offered tickets to the All Star game being played at The Stadium this year. Besides the tickets to the game, they make you buy tickets to the Home Run Derby, Up & Coming Game, and something called DHL Fan Fest at the Javitz Center, along with 2 $12 programs, and a $25 shipping charge. Now I don't mind paying for the tickets to a once in a lifetime event, but $25 to ship this stuff to me literally across town!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yankee Stadium is at E161st Street & River Avenue, my store is on Boston Road & E169th Street.
