Cost of watching

Here's another reason why people don't go to wrestling matches. It really isn't anything new. The cost for the full day at the Section 5-AAA wrestling tournament at Trinity was $13. It cost $6 for matches through the semifinals and consolation finals. The gym was cleared and it cost $7 to attend the session of individual finals and third and fourth.

Can you say gouge?

And it's not just the WPIAL that does this. The PIAA is adept at charging outlandish ticket prices for wrestling because of its session. Charging two prices for the section tournament is like charging basketball fans one price to watch the first half of the game, clearing the gym at halftime, and charging again for the second half.

Outside of the moms, dads, sisters and brothers, how many tickets do you think were sold at this event. I bet an avid wrestling fan won't return after being burned at the gate.

Amazing.
