To help its financial picture, the Gnats nearly tripled season ticket prices of box seats in hopes of discouraging season ticket sales and improving single game purchases. The team sold out its 376 box seats, leaving none available for single game purchase. Prices in 2001 rose from $275 to $600 for new buyers. Renewing fans will continue to pay the $275 price. The team estimated about 65 percent of previous season buyers renewed. Most tickets are bought by businesses and seats are empty on game nights.
Team officials say their goal is to make the premium seats available to the community, rather than limiting them to those who can afford season purchases. The move is also expected to boost concession sales by filling more of the seats.
A picnic area at the current stadium hosts groups of 25 or more and costs $12 per person, including food. (Baseball, Facilities, Minor League, Professional Sports, Venue)
