47 years ago today, the Toronto Blue Jays unveiled their schedule for their first season (1977). Highlights: - Ticket prices from $2 for general admission to $6.50 for field level chair - All April home games to start at 1:30 p.m. - Price of field level season tickets: $500.50
@coopincanada It’s hard to believe season tickets at 500. That’s about 2500 in today’s dollars or 31 per game.
@coopincanada I sat in Section S of the Grandstand at the very first game. A magical snowy day
@coopincanada Very cheap! Looking at inflation since 1977, this puts those field level seats in the low $30 range in 2024 dollars.
@coopincanada I used to sit in the $2 seats and get there early to watch BP.
@coopincanada @elliottbaseball Prime season tickets behind the plate have increased in price by 14,000%
@coopincanada Those right field benches were a great seat for $3.00 and the price didn’t change for many years
