Look how many spelling errors have I made over the years? I'm tired of coming up with responses for my own incompetence.

Either that or he forgot to put a comma or period between Look and how. Regardless, he needs to spend a little more of mom and dad's money on getting edumacated and a little less on collar popping.

Yea I'm not sure how that got in there.

Is there anything besides basketball and violent crime at which Temple is better than Penn State?

MDS · January 17, 2006, 06:41:38 PM

Ummm......location, I guess. Who the hell wants to be up in the mountains? I'm right in Philly, grant it, it's the zesty part. But it's a few subway stops/10 minute drive to good stuff.

Good point. Although, "up in the mountains" there are also 20,000 chicks from which to choose.

You're one lucky dude. Granted, you're an idiot. But still lucky for being able to go to school in the city.

QuoteHot ticket? Phils raise midseason rates
By Jim Salisbury
Inquirer Staff Writer

The Phillies are raising ticket prices for 45 of their 81 home games this season.

In becoming the latest major-league team to use variable pricing, the club announced yesterday that the price hike would apply to games played from May 19 to Aug. 20.

Tickets for home games played before May 19 and after Aug. 20 will remain at 2005 prices.

The increase applies to individual game tickets, which will go on sale Feb. 22. The price of season tickets and multigame packages has not been raised.

"The variable pricing is not based on the teams that are coming in," said Richard Deats, the club's vice president of ticket operations. "It's the time of the season when baseball is becoming more attractive and when demand is the greatest.

"We're sensitive to raising ticket prices. We agonize over this. It's not an easy thing, paying the bills and keeping seats affordable. We thought this was a fair way to do it."

Tickets for the 45 games from May 19 to Aug. 20 will cost $16 to $44. The 36 other home games will remain $15 to $40. The Phils will continue to discount up to 5,000 tickets by $3 to $6 on game day, depending on availability.

The Phillies will play 24 of their first 35 games at home, all at 2005 prices. The price increase kicks in just as the weather warms and the Boston Red Sox come to town on May 19. The New York Mets will visit for seven games and the New York Yankees for three during the time of premium pricing.

According to Deats, every National League East team uses some type of variable pricing, depending on premium dates or opponents.

Deats said sales of season-ticket packages are slightly ahead of where they were last year. He said he doesn't expect a significant drop or increase from last year's season-ticket base of 17,500.

Group sales begin Wednesday. The Phillies' ticket office can be reached at 215-463-1000.

after this offseason, they have the balls to do this? typical Phillies.

This is an awful move. There is such a small price difference in the raise, it's not really worth to go through all the negative PR. If you're gonna raise prices, raise prices. It's an extra $4 bucks or something. Big woop, huge difference. It's negative PR for a small price increase. Not worth it. Idiot Phillies.
