Donald Trump criticized the rising cost of sports tickets, stating that leagues are alienating their most loyal fans. While many fans feel priced out, especially families, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred pointed to increasing attendance figures as evidence against affordability concerns. The debate centers on whether teams should prioritize maximizing profits or making games accessible for future fans, as increasing ticket prices might hinder the development of a devoted fan base, essential for the future of baseball.
"The leagues are not taking care of their fans. They really aren't. They're making it impossible." - Donald Trump on the rising ticket prices affecting loyalty.
"That inability to have that family experience is an incredible negative if you're just going for the green. That’s where you are building your fan bases of the future." - Andy Dolich on the need for affordability.
"If we had an affordability problem, I think you would see it in terms of those numbers. Those numbers tell you the opposite." - Rob Manfred addressing ticket sales figures.
