The Phillies have sold out 123 straight games, they’ve got a waiting list for season tickets… the law of supply and demand would tell you that a price increase is in order. The team agrees.

The question is, will they spend some of this new revenue to keep Jayson Werth? Phillies fans are probably ok with a small ticket increase, but expect complaints if the hike comes in the same offseason that fan base perceives some cheapness on behalf of the ownership.
↵The Phillies have already let first base coach Davey Lopes, who has done a great job with their running game, walk because of money.
