Over the past few years, Yankee fans learned what it was like to buy Boston Red Sox Tickets. With Yankee Stadium sold out - or at least almost sold out - Yankees tickets were very hard to come by and frankly, not a cheap New York event ticket.

And it will continue. With the new Yankee Stadium set to open next year, expect not only sellout crowds, but a tremendous price increase will occur. Top tickets are expected to be $2500 a game, with a trickle down effect. For years, Red Sox tickets were the most expensive in baseball. Not anymore.

Yankee fans will now pay what people spend for Broadway tickets, Knick tickets at Madison Square Garden and top tier concert tickets.

But the Beatles are not coming back, and the Yankees will have to have a competitive team if they expect their fans to pay those prices.

They will. Expect them to make a play for the top end players on the market this offseason. A winning Yankee team is good for baseball and with a new stadium, it will be good for New York.
