Indians embrace showcase pricing as a season trend
In Cleveland, the Indians used five dollar per ticket increases on ten showcase games against top opponents like the Yankees and White Sox. The system boosted per game attendance to 29,256 on showcase nights, supporting an estimated 762,800 extra dollars over ten home dates. The approach, while polarizing, appears financially successful and likely to continue into 2004 with planned visits from the Giants and Pirates.
