Let's start the discussion…who's going? How much do you anticipate tickets will be?

I'll start. I can't see a single seat being less than the first World Series game, which was $900 plus.

Thoughts?

not knocking the people that choose to go, but who the hell would pay $900 to go watch an all star game that is essentially meaningless?

All sporting events and other forms of entertainment are essentially "meaningless"

I have the ability to buy my season tickets in Section 118 for the ASG. Tickets for the game are $600 per seat, $500 per seat for the HRD, and $100 a seat for Saturday. You have to buy them all, along with parking, the exhibits and a program.

Total cost for my two seat for the whole weekend is about $3000.

I'm not going.

Went in Houston in 2004 to the HR Derby and the AS Game....I know the pricing has escalated in the last 20 years but they were still the most expensive tickets I had ever bought at that time.

I went to the HR Derby with my brother and college buddies and then All-Star game with my Dad

At the mound from L to R: Willie Mays, Mark McGwire, Frank Robinson, Harmon Killebrew, Reggie Jackson, Hank Aaron, Mike Schmidt, Willie McCovey, Ernie Banks, Eddie Murray

I thought the pregame batthing practice was cooler than the game itself



My favorite thing with the All-Star game and the World Series is when they announce the lineups and they come stand on the baselines



You get some incredible pitcher v hitter matchups....this was Clemens v Ichiro....but there was Randy Johnson v A-Rod, Jeter, etc.

Would love to take my boys but can't imagine spending $3k for the HRD or ASG.

I guess that's one I'll never check off my bucket list.

I know, memories are forever and I would cherish it forever, but mortgage is due on the 1st.
