New Dome Beer Prices
Posted on 8/19/09 at 7:49 am

We knew it was coming this year, but really, $7.50 ??? It seems like the only people getting screwed in this one are the beer vendors. How did everyone else handle tipping on $7.50? I usually gave $1 tip in the years past. Now, if I go with my usual buck, I have to wait for the guy to dig out two quarters and then walk around with a pocket full of change. Turrible. I was really torn between going with a $1.50 and $0.50. In the end, I went with a $0.50, but eventually started buying two beers at a time to solve the mess.

Those 16 oz beers that the Dome sells probly only cost the dome $.95-$1.00 to buy per bottle. And they are selling them for $7.50
So, they make roughly $6.50 on each bottle of beer....which is a markup of $650%.
I cant imagine how many cases of these they sell for a home game...but Im gussing a ton.
What a joke.

The salary cap is over 100 MILLION frickING DOLLARS, how the hell do you think they make that money? TV, merchandising and vending.

I went to the Tuesday night Nationals vs. Rockies game and a Miller Lite was $7.50, Heineken was $10. A regular hot dog was $6.50.
You know going in that the prices are completely unreasonable.

That's normal price for a beer at an Astros game. It's absurd.

Alejandro's guide to not spending a dime at a concert/sporting event.
A.) Predrink before leaving
B.) Park for free in the Warehouse District and walk with your home-brought drink towards the nearest bar.
C.) "Pull a Shockey". Double fist your drink of choice from the Warehouse District or CBD bar to the Dome. Virtually every bar on the walk to the Dome has some sort of "2 for $5" pregame special, so stock up. I like Maguires Pub and Ditcharo's.
D.) Put your flask (prepared that morning at home) into your boxer briefs. Enter the dome. Try to enjoy the surprisingly refreshing feel of cool metal against your bare testicles. That's how I know it's gametime, when I feel that shite on my nuts.
E.) I lied. Unless you drink your liquor straight you will have to splurge on a $3 Coke or Sprite to mix your drink with. Buy the soda, empty 1/3 of it into the nearest trash receptacle, and then empty your flask into the remaining soda can/cup.
F.) When your girlfriend says she's hungry, tell her that the arena food is overpriced and you'll treat her to sushi that night.
G.) If "F" doesn't work and your girlfriend still wants $8 for a sandwich, tell her she looks fat in those jeans.
H.) Enjoy the game!

if you wear a hooded jacket you can usually hide it in the hood and walk in with your hands raised. it works at lsu games, dont know about the dome though...
