Sports teams slash ticket prices to keep fans

The World

Want to see the Stanley Cup champs? Pull a ten out of your wallet and throw in some laundry quarters and you’re in. Fans in New York City wouldn’t know it ? The Yankees, Mets, Rangers, Jets, Giants and Knicks are still partying like it’s 1999 when it comes to ticket prices ? but out there in the provinces, teams are grappling with the economy. And the economy ? and by extension the fan ? is scoring some impressive victories.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
