Bubblagate at the Garden

Just buy a damn drink.

Anyone remember the Bright House Networks Stadium, in Orlando, FL situation back in 2007... where when they built the stadium it wasn't a requirement for water fountains and on opening day ran out of water at half time sending 18 people to the hospital for heat exhaustion during the game... and since then they have added at least 50 water fountains throughout the stadium in order to comply with the latest building code requirement.

absolutely outrageous, beyond greedy.

they say you can't bring bottles of water in (which is easy to get around, but that's not the point) and than charge more than an arm and a leg, around a 300-400% markup from street value...

I get a kick every time I read someone say, "I went to a game, bought four tickets from a scalper, parked in the closest parking lot, bought 10 beers, six hot dogs, three pizzas, and a foam finger, and it all cost way too much." If you paid the money, then it obviously didn't cost too much, or else you wouldn't have paid what you did.

As long as they can sell out the stadium and have lines 15 deep at a hundred different concession stands, then prices are actually too low. Prices will only come down when people refuse to pay them. Every time you do pay, you're sending a signal to the market that the price is at least fair. Stop bitching and vote with your feet.
