Nope. Those things are promotions. Like 'free ball day'. You have to have the kids accompanied by parents who pay full price and parking. Back in the day kids went to the games alone. No parents. Fifty cents.


That's not true. There are $5.00 tickets for most Astros games in the nosebleeds.

$5.00 + $2.06 tax = $7.06 total.

Look here:

https://houston.astros.mlb.com/ticketing/singlegame.jsp?c_id=hou&y=2014#series=5

Click "buy tickets" for any series and then click on sections 405, 406, and 436.

The actors/actresses make that sum per movie. Filming a movie doesn't take a year to do so they can make multiples of that sum in a year and then bitch about the evils of capitalism while being interviewed by the media that blows smoke up their asses with praise.

They point their finger at capitalism because if people ever figure out what's really going on, the shite would hit the fan.

So, a 12 year old kid can walk up to the ticket counter and buy a 5 buck ticket? Really? He can't. He has to have his parents drive him. Not so in the old days. And your point would be valid if the parents also get the 5 buck ticket PLUS they don't have to pay for parking. Is Parking at the stadium free?

Yes, a kid can buy a ticket. Both a kid an adult can walk up and buy a $5 ticket.

And no, the kid doesn't NEED a parent to drive him.

And no, parking at the stadium is not free. There are a bunch of private parking lots all over that charge different amounts. But you don't HAVE to park in one of those lots.

You can park somewhere else and walk if you don't want to pay.

I don't want to fight but it can be fun and if some internet douche wants to say i "need to get beat up" I'm happy to give him the chance. I guess he was talking about someone else doing it because it sounds like he can't handle it himself.

Why would you fight somebody who you don't know and you don't even know what they look like?
