Major League Baseball is not immune to the downturn in the economy, especially the teams with new stadiums to pay for such as the New York Mets and New York Yankees. The New York Times recently reported about the problems season ticket holders are having this year getting rid of their extra games that in the past were a “no brainer”.

Of course both of these teams are playing in new ballparks, the Mets at Citi Field and the Yankees at the New Yankee Stadium, and the prices have been jacked up to pay for the new stadiums so the profit margin has shrunk dramatically, even without the recession.

Most of the other teams are struggling as well. The Tampa Bay Rays hosted the World Champion Philadelphia Phillies last week and Tropicana Field was only half full according to the website Philly.com. And you can look at ticket prices for most of the other teams in the secondary market and get baseball tickets for less than face value for many of the games.

So if your looking to get out to a ballgame and you want to get the best price and seat location, check out our selection of MLB Baseball tickets, you’re sure to find a game worth going to!

Too many shows asking for too much money. The Jonas Brothers are on tour but the sales are not what would be expected and some concerts are not selling out. The resale market is way down also and there are bargains to be had from ticket brokers such as Preferred Seating Tickets. The high face value of the tickets combined with a poor economy has driven prices for the Jonas Brothers down below face value, in some cases up to 50% off. So if you’re looking for a bargain and a great live show, check out the Jonas Brothers while they’re cheap!

Some of the cities where the deep discounts are include:
Jonas Brothers at the Target Center
Jonas Brothers at the Bradley Center
Jonas Brothers at the Allstate Arena
Jonas Brothers at the Verizon Center
Jonas Brothers at Izod Center
Jonas Brothers at TD Banknorth
Jonas Brothers at Nassau Coliseum

There’s a group trying to keep the San Francisco 49ers in San Francisco rather than moving down to Santa Clara where they are waiting on a vote to approve funds to build a new stadium for the 49ers.

Their “Call to Action” can be found on the blog Ninernoise.com and they have all the contact information you need to reach the 49ers, Mayor Newsome, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and Santa Clara city officials although I don’t know why they were included.

So if you are in the San Francisco bay area and keeping the San Francisco 49ers in your city is important than you may want to get involved also, because it is far from a done deal at this time and it’s hard to believe a city with all the large corporations in SF cannot come up with the private financing to build the new stadium the 49ers need.
