To the editor: Thanks for the excellent article about high -price Dodger tickets by staff writer Bill Shaikin (“Blues of the championship: Dodgers games used to be affordable family entertainment. No more,” “ April 18). It is a shame that many families cannot afford to attend a game without borrowing.
I have been a fan of the Dodger all my life, and I will continue to be a fan, but I am less games due to the high ticket prices and the parking lot. I realize that prices are based on supply and demand, and while Dodgers can sell most of the nights, prices will not decrease.
It also seems rich that President Trump criticizes high prices. He is right to call them, but sinking the stock market and adding tariffs makes it more difficult to attend a game.

To the editor: The question of whether fans have a price to see Dodger games has already been answered. Earning money is the Dodgers business, and their overload in which they have renounced them to try to give customers great experiences.

To the editor: I would like to go to a game at Dodger Stadium, but prices are too high. I can get a seat at the Angel stadium for $ 16. And I don't have to sit in the stands.

To the editor: The contrast between Trump and [Dodgers President Stan] Kastten's vision of affordable Dodgers tickets is a brilliant example of where the blue states and cities are completely wrong. The Dodgers foundation tells us that the Dodgers distributed 64,000 tickets to “deserving communities.” That would probably be low -income communities. But, as Elly Schoen of the USC Lusk Center, a family of the average revenues of Los Angeles could find a single Dodger game per month.
In other words, the largest potential future fans base, working class families, essentially has a price outside the market to attend the games regularly, exactly what Trump focused and on which the Kastten organization has no idea.
