They would be stupid not to raise gymnastics ticket prices.

I flipflopped on this, but yeah you're right...

my initial hesitance was "why raise the price, when most people weren't going before, and just now are mildly interested in it?"

The diehards will still go, you aren't pricing them out yet. And the casuals who might now go won't know it was cheaper last year, because they never looked into it.

Now, baseball, they might want to ease off on the price jump. That market is already established, people know the prices and such. But again, you could always sell "and we will certainly be better than this year", because that's practically a given. If the team flops twice in a row, you're worried about more than ticket prices

You know gymnastics sells out the PMAC like every meet right?

Baseball has basically a 98-99% season ticket renewal rate every year. They know people will continue to get them and if they don't someone is on the waiting list ready to get some.

Grandstand renewals have been 100% the last 3 years. There is a long waiting list for the premium seats. My 2 seats and PP cost $1800 for greenbacks. I’m going to keep mine but damn they are getting more expensive than football.
