While many New Yorkers would like to forget the Summer of 1977, when the All-Star Game hits Yankee Stadium they might be wishing for price rollbacks to then.
Tickets for this year’s All-Star Game in the Bronx are going for $150-$725 for the July 15 game, Major League Baseball announced Tuesday. The last time the all-stars were at Yankee Stadium, in 1977, reserved seats were $10-$15. Last year, tickets were $75-$285 in San Francisco.
For the 1998 game at Coors Field, tickets were $25-$70.
Tickets for the Home Run Derby and workout day July 14 are $100-$650, an increase from $50-$225 last year. Prices likely will decrease for the 2009 All-Star Game, to be hosted by the Cardinals.
“They will be adjusted for St. Louis. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity — instant memorabilia, instant memories,” said Bob DuPuy, baseball’s chief operating officer.
Registration to buy tickets began Tuesday on , and a drawing will be held June 16.
