Yankee Stadium
In Yankee Stadium the seats the team management price according to a premium pricing plan are those in the first row and the VIP box rooms. As it was mentioned in the book: “premium pricing means the firm deliberately prices a product above the prices set for competing products to capture those customers who always shop for the best or for whom the price does not matter.” In baseball, as in many other sports, fans want to enjoy the game from up close so front row seats are the best to do so , but for a high price. Also at baseball games, there are private VIP boxes that include waiting service, food and drinks. Tickets for the VIP section cost much more than regular outdoor seating but you don’t have to worry about being around a crowd of people if you are more like a business type of person. Renting this seats is more an exclusive service at most sporting events were only a small high class section is willing to pay these high prices. On the other hand, we have the value pricing tickets which are the lower priced tickets that are affordable by the majority of the population. In the case study Yankee fans called the bleacher seats the best value in the park offering a better view than more expensive seats. With value pricing companies accomplish major quantity of items sold.

In my opinion, the economy is an environmental factor that affects the pricing of the tickets. In 2009 when the stadium opened, the pricing of the tickets was high due to the fact that it was its inauguration, but as time went by people who were still recovering from the 2008 economic recession was not willing to pay such high prices for the tickets. As a consequence, the team lowered the prices on most of the tickets so they were more affordable to the public.

If the Yankee Stadium does not sell out, there are a variety of costs to the company. The stadium manages a high amount of staff, bills and player salaries to pay. Starting with the staff, the amount of money collected from

    Years ago, there was once a small town called Chaves Ravine within Los Angeles, California and this town was a poor rural community that was always full of life. Two hundred families, mostly Chicano families, were living here quite peacefully until the Housing Act of 1949 was passed. The Federal Housing Act of 1949 granted money to cities from the federal government to build public housing projects for the low income. Los Angeles was one of the first cities to receive the funds for project. Unfortunately, Chavez Ravine was one of the sites chosen for the housing project, so, to prepare for the construction work of the low-income apartments, the Housing Authority of Los Angeles had to convince the people of the ravine to leave, or forcibly oust them from their property. Since Chavez Ravine was to be used for public use, the Housing Authority of Los Angeles was able seize and buy Chavez Ravine from the property owners and evict whoever stayed behind with the help of Eminent Domain. The LA Housing Authority had told the inhabitants that low-income housing was to be built on the land, but, because of a sequence of events, the public housing project was never built there and instead Dodgers Stadium was built on Chavez Ravine. Although Chavez Ravine public housing project was the result of the goodwill and intent of the government, rather than helping the people Chavez Ravine with their promise of low-income housing, the project ended up destroying many…
