In a story that shocks us not at all, a survey released by Team Marketing Report shows that the Chicago Cubs have the most expensive tickets in baseball at an average cost of $52.56, just edging out the Boston Red Sox at $52.32. We guess the Ricketts have to pay off Hendry's Boner somehow, eh? The average MLB ticket is $26.74, almost half of what it costs to go watch the Cubs lose play. The Red Sox had the highest Fan Cost Index - the total price to take a family of four to a game - at $334.78 while the Cubs were just behind them at just below $330, both well above the average of $195.08. As for the White Sox, they're average ticket price comes in at around $39 per and the cost of taking the family of four to the Cell for a game is about $250. So the two most expensive tickets are at the two oldest baseball stadiums in the league. Makes total sense to us. No wonder the team has such high radio ratings.
