low priced pirates tickets are part of the deal the pirates made with the city to get the stadium built. a certain % of the tickets have to be $10 or less for like X# of years. old man rooney held the city hostage then told his season ticket holders “oh yeah…give me a few thousand for a seat license” those cheap assholes coulda built their own stadium. i’ve gave everyone the numbers many times about how a baseball stadium gets used creating more revenue for the city than a football stadium that gets used less than 1/3 of the baseball stadium.
