Today's rant: sports tickets

I have reached the point where I cannot, unfortunately, justify spending the cost of admission to see a sports event.  Let me give you a side-by-side comparison.  In 2023, I saw Lewis Black perform in Vancouver.  It cost me $80 for a front row ticket, $10 to park, $25 for dinner, and gas.  In 2024, I considered going up to Vancouver for Survivor Series.  I decided not to go because it would have cost $145 for a nosebleed seat, and I didn't even bother calculating the cost of transportation.  What the fuck, WWE?  It used to be cheap to see a professional wrestling show.  How in the blue hell did it become cheaper to see a Broadway show than a professional wrestling pay-per-view-premium-live-event PPVPLE?  I cannot even see my New York Mets or New York Giants when they come to town because it costs so fucking much.

If you want entertainment, go to a theater production.  It's cheaper and you will get as much entertainment.
