However, our business system of Supply & Demend has been killed by the exploited tax write off system. One reason is that all the big and small Corporations buy large blocks of tickets for their customers. It doesn't make any difference if the seats are filled or vacant, the owners still make lots of money. Thus, the law of Supply & Demand doesn't appear to apply here. There are more reasons but I'm not here to lecture. Yes, I'm proud of being a "kid" in the 1940's and 50's. Fond memories of getting in free when I was a "Safety Patrol Boy" in school or watching the "Military Personnel" of World War ll get in free when they wore their uniforms. When I had only a one dollar bill, I could buy a 60 cent bleacher seat, a 10 cent score program, and the rest went for my lunch & streetcar fare to get back home. What it boils down to is the issue of CAPS & even though we don't like it, the owners have the right to pay their players any amount they wish just as an employer can pay his employee(s) any amount he wishes. It's called the free enterprise system. In my opinion, our "so called govenment" is interveaning and killing SUPPLY & DEMAND. Thus creating this mess.
