Minors Ask Congress To Eliminate Admission Tax
Washington hearing notes a collapse in minor league attendance due to television and price pressures. Trautman cites a drop from 41,872,762 in 1949 to 17,031,060 this year and a reduction in leagues from 59 to 28, with 448 to 218 clubs. He says removing the admission tax on cheap tickets would lower net receipts for many clubs and warns against losing a major source for major leagues. Eliminating the tax would cost about 1 million dollars annually.
