Case: New York Yankees and Yankee Stadium
Chapter Case Study (PAYING FOR ALL THOSE PINSTRIPES)

1. Which seats in Yankee Stadium does the team management price according to a premium pricing plan? Which seats represent value pricing tactics?

• Premium seats. The first level of non premium seats and the bleachers

2. What environmental factors influence the prices of Yankee tickets?

• Many different people love to watch a game and most of them cannot afford to pay too much for a ticket.

3. If Yankee Stadium does not sell out, what are the costs to the company? Consider a broad range of costs, not just the price of the unsold seat.

• If they don’t sell tickets; the reputation of the Yankees will diminish and the stadium will not perform well in coming games. It will result in losses where they have put so much money for a small income. Also knowing that the stadium requires maintenance and the income cannot cover all these.

    From this we can derive that overall, in Springfield (assuming that the sample is representative of the population), 38% of residents do have some interest in baseball, but only 28% of the residents have ever attended a professional baseball game. Out of this only 17% of the population have attended at least one minor-league game in the last 2-3 years, however 39% of the residents would be willing to attend at least one game if a minor league baseball team ever came to Springfield. Insight about grand stand tickets was also collected, indicating that 72% of the population is not willing to pay more than a 10% premium over regular bleacher seats for a grand stand seat, hinting that there may be no opportunity to explore in terms of multi-priced seating. Another insight that can be drawn from the survey is that 81% of those who attend a game would be willing to pay $6 or more on various concessions per person. 56% of those surveyed were female and 66% of those surveyed lived with at least one child between the ages of 5-16, which may indicate that child-ticket pricing may be exploited. In addition, the sequence of questions did follow the typical “qualifying questions, warm-ups, transitions, difficult and complicated questions, and finally, classification & demographics questions”…

    After reading the case study on The Springfield Nor’easters, there are some key issues that really stuck out. The main issue was that Larry Buckingham, who was the marketing director for the Nor’easters, had to figure out how to sell season tickets, regular tickets, and merchandise at their games. The Nor’easters were set to take their home field in Springfield Massachusetts, which is about 90 miles west of Boston. This in itself makes it difficult to sell tickets to minor league baseball games as the Red Sox play a little over an hour away. The next hurdle to overcome was the demographics of Springfield. Nearly 25% of families lived below the poverty line, which is not an ideal situation when trying to sell tickets. In my personal opinion, the next issue at hand was the secondary research. Buckingham used 3-year-old survey data and some anecdotal evidence from a journalist. This is not thorough use of secondary research. After completing the survey, the next issue at hand was determining how to price the tickets to get maximum attendance and revenue.…

    The Expedia College Baseball Invitational Series can potentially bring in an estimated $425,000. To break down the lump sum, we expect about 15,000 fans to be in attendance over the three day tournament. Each ticket will cost on average $15, which leads us to an expected ticket income of $225,000.00. Under ticket sales will be our broadcast media, which we hope to net around $100,000.00 from the network. The final source of income would be from our sponsors, $100,000.00. In addition to this, some of our sponsors are providing goods or services rather than monetary…

    That’s why no fans were allowed in the stadium to watch the Baltimore Orioles take on the Chicago White Sox. Each Major League Baseball team plays 162 games that have to be on schedule so that the standing are fair at the end of the season. So the game had to go on. Only 3 out of 45,971 green seats were full. Those three people were scouts that worked for the team. Adam LaRoche, White Sox’s first baseman, said that having no fans has taken away some of the meaning of the game. A small group of fans gathered outside the gates of the stadium and cheered. Other than that there was no one there to cheer on the…

    New vs Old Yankees Stadium

    Since 2000, twelve Major League teams have built new stadiums. The two New York Teams, the Yankees and the Mets, will both open brand new parks in the spring of 2009. Five teams have plans in progress to have completed their new fields by 2012, which will leave the Boston Red Sox’s Fenway Park, built in 1912, the oldest baseball stadium in the country (Grand Slam Enterprises). The new Yankee Stadium is the most expensive one in America, costing approximately $1.6 billion (M.L.B. Advanced Media, “Yankees Unveil 2009 Schedule”). The opening of two baseball stadiums, as well as the Jets and Giants new stadium, all in the same state and the same season has prices flying through the roof for local ticket holders, and the citizens of the state concerned about what their taxes are going towards since all the stadiums received some aid. The Yankees received over $200 million from the city and the state, which, even though only covers a fraction of the cost, the money still comes from the taxpaying citizens (E.S.P.N.).…

    If I were Maddux, I would look into the parking problems our fans are having. Parking can garner very high profits with relatively low overhead. If you can buy a parcel of land within walking distance to the stadium, it only needs to be staffed on game-days, and you can charge whatever price you want. The closer you are to the stadium, the more you can charge for parking. I would also look into the seating problems. If people continue to pay to come the game, and are uncomfortable, eventually they will quit coming. People can get around concession prices by eating before and after the game. The seating situation can become a deterrent for…

Public subsidization is a policy that needs to stay around. Public funding of sports stadiums will boost the economy of not only the city, but the region around the city as well. When cities are willing to bring in and subsidize major sports teams stadiums, they are creating jobs, creating economic opportunity in the region, and attracting other tourists into the city. When a new sports stadium is being brought into a city, it brings more than just the attraction…

    The total attribute combinations are 3*4*4*5=240, which are shown in Appendix Table 2. Because “the Blazers were unwilling to allow certain price and seating combinations no matter how well received they were” (Case, Page 5), the combinations including 200-level seats for less than $60 and 300-level midcourt seats for less than $25 can be removed from total combinations. The remaining attribute combinations are 240-3*1*5-3*3*5=180. According to the cost structure (Case, Table 2 & Table 3) and our assumptions, the Trail Blazers should avoid loss, thus 27 packages which cause loss need to be removed. The remaining packages are 180-27=153, which are shown in Appendix Table 3.…
