What’s so good about baseball season? Cheap tickets. Of all the mainstream professional sports, baseball sells the cheapest tickets. Many teams sell tickets for $5 to $15. Yes, they’re nosebleed seats, but you get so much more than a so-so seat. Your ticket inside can lead to exciting entertainment that’s sure to please the penny pincher in you.

At Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida fans can buy a cheap ticket for about $13. Rays fans hit the Centerfield Brew House and enjoy a beer with many like-minded folks. There’s also a cigar bar at Tropicana Field where fans can have a smoke and watch the action. After select games, fans can stay late and enjoy a summer concert. Artists like 3 Doors Down, Ludacris, Pat Benetar, Smash Mouth, Flo Rida, Daughtry, the B52′s and Big and Rich all perform this season. You could walk out of Tropicana Field after having a few beers, grabbing a hot dog, taking in a bit of baseball and enjoying a concert for less than $50!

One dollar will get you in to Turner Field in Atlanta, Georgia. Three hours before the game fans can buy $1 tickets from the box office. This is a favorite destination for the Atlanta college crowd who meets up at the Chop House inside Turner Field and enjoys a night out in a great venue for almost nothing. If you can’t get one of the super cheap $1 seats you have many other cheap options at “The Ted”. Upper Pavilion seats go for $6 and are almost always available. Stay late for Friday night games where you’ll get to enjoy a light show. The average costs of attending a Braves game are about $30 including a couple beers, a couple dogs and parking. Not a bad deal for a night out.

The Florida Marlins play at Dolphin Stadium in Miami. Fans can buy a seat in the “Fish Tank” section for $9. Enjoy the party atmosphere of Miami’s hot sun, warm breezes and Latin vibe on the cheap. A crazy Marlins promotion this year includes a chance to have a month of your mortgage or rent paid. Calling it the Marlins Mortgage Payout, on Saturday games the Marlins will award a lucky fan a check for up to $2500. On June 20th and September 26th the Marlins will give one fan at each game a check for up to $15,000 toward the principal on their mortgage or payoff a fan’s lease. Imagine paying $9 for a ticket and coming home with your rent paid?

The deals are all over MLB venues this summer. How about $1 hot dogs? You’ll find them on Friday nights at PNC Park in Pittsburgh. Want to see the new Yankee Stadium for $5? You can buy cheap tickets to many weeknight games. Visit Coamerica Park in Detroit on Sunday, sit in the upper reserved seats for $12 and let your kid run the bases after the game. At the Metrodome in Minneapolis, fans of the Twins can buy a ticket for $34 and get all-you-can-eat hot dogs, popcorn, peanuts, pretzels, soda and water.

Many of the baseball stadiums have nice lounges overlooking the field and the bars are dripping with HD screens showing the action on the field. These spots have proved to be the new scene at many venues. Young and old, who care a little about the game and a lot about hitting the hot spots, flock to these venue bars.

This is just a glimpse of the good deals out there at MLB venues this summer. The ticket deals are the best they’ve been in years and you can eat and drink at the venues without your wallet shriveling. Grab a friend and enjoy the Boys of Summer in a major league park. Take in the venue amenities, the mingling of fans, a cold beer, a little music, cheap food, and cheaper tickets and, of course, the crack of the bat. Play Ball!
