MAJOR LEAGUE
Still, if you're a die-hard Major League Baseball fan, there are bargains to be had.
Two-thirds of the league's 30 clubs lowered either their average ticket price or the cost of some level of seats, according to MLB.
As part of a new campaign this season, MLB.com is highlighting team promotions in its Fan Value Corner. Each club's home page also features special discounts.
Getting a good deal doesn't mean being exiled to the bleacher seats. Many teams offer deals on same-day tickets for decent seats. This year, the San Francisco Giants are trying "dynamic pricing," meaning ticket prices will be adjusted until the morning of the game based on demand.

Season ticket holders often sell their seats for some games on eBay or other online resellers.
Lastly, skip the all-you-can-eat deals pushed by clubs. You most likely have to overstuff yourself to make it worthwhile. Instead, check your team's Web site to see if it has a $1 hot dog night and eat up for cheap.
Better yet, bring your own food and drink to the game if the stadium allows it.
