Here's the rub.

This dimwit has been shitposting all this nonsense about how expensive his baseball tickets are & all that stupid shit. There's problems with it, though. He keeps telling us how smart he is w/his bucks, but shows how he wastes them.
We can start with posting messages on this troll infested sock puppet inhabited forum when he's at a game. If you want to post to this dumbass forum, stay home. When I go to a game, the only thing my phone comes out for is to get in the gate and show the ticket to the usher. Since she knows us, by now, we don't even have to do that, unless she's off that day & there's someone who's never seen us before. No, I leave this dumbass forum behind when I go to the game.
He brags about parking his car in the garage at the park. That costs a pile of money, $50. If dimwit claims to have a half season plan, they might give him $10 bux off, but $40 is still too much to pay. Here's what you get for your $40: You can walk easily from your car to your seat, but that's about the only benefit. The other "benefits" you get are:
1. Sitting in traffic to get there. Even if you come early for a night game, you're going to sit in rush hour traffic.
2. Sitting in traffic after the game. First you have to sit in the traffic in the garage. Then, you get to sit in traffic on N Steet. Finally, you get to sit in traffic on South Capitol St. And don't start any BS about sneaking down side streets. They're all choked with traffic and Uber & Lyft care parked on them & going the wrong way down one way streets.
I have a large car I take to the game. In it, I put a bicycle. It takes less than five minutes to get the thing out of the car; put the front wheel onto it. A cheap Chinese metric socket set bought on sale for next to nothing at Auto Zone is all I need. Since I am in the know and a lot smarter than this dimwit, I know where I can park for free. I drop GF on M at Half and she legs it the long block to the park. I head to my "sweet spot", where I park for free, pull the bicycle out of the car and it takes me less than 10 min to ride it to the park. I get in a little bit of exercise as an added bonus. There's all kinds of bicycle racks outside the park, so I use a cheap lock to lock it there. It's a Walmart special that's patched together, not the bicycle I ride for serious riding, so if somebody does actually want to be bothered stealing it, he has to need it more than I do. When the game is done, it takes me less than ten min. to ride back to the "sweet spot", then I get in the car and go pick up GF on S. Cap St. All this takes far less time than it takes dimwit to get in & out of that garage & out of DC traffic.
So who's smarter w/his money, now? To boot, I get less headache. I like riding my bicycle.
3. He claims to pay for these club level seats. There are 2 kinds, the MVP club and the regular club. He doesn't say which 1 he has. The only diff. is the outside the club seats on the MVP price level are behind home plate, above where the hyper-expensive stadium seats are; the Lexus CLub, or whatever its name is this year (depends on which dorp. paid the most). The regular club level seats are $10-$20 more than the 115-117 and 131-135 lower level seats. The MVPs are $20-$30 more. It depends on the opponent. The Diodgers games will have higher prices; the Pirates not so much. This is of course single game prices, but, if you get a plan, you're still paying that much more than someone who buys a plan in the 100s I named. What do you get for that?
You do get a bar inside and shorter lines. Still, the wait times inside the club are not that much shorter than the e-cash lines in the other food/beer stands.
You do get an air-conditioned lounge where you can sit on couches and comfy chairs & watch the game on flat screens. Here's the rub on that, though. I know where I can sit in air conditioning, on a couch or comfy chair and watch baseball on a flat screen. In this place, I don't pay jacked up prices for beer & hot dogs. It's called my living room. Now, there are outside stadium seats on the club level, and that's where I've stayed, except to go in & get a hot dog or a beer inside. Still, the view from the 100s I mentioned is every bit as good, or even better, than that from the club level. No, my money's better spent in the 100s I mentioned. You're paying more up there in the club for not much better, if better at all.
Conclusion: this dimwit's not as smart with his money as he pretends to be.
