Rangers raise some ticket prices, add premier games

[February 10, 2011]  ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- The AL champion Texas Rangers have raised ticket prices for about two-thirds of their seats for 52 non-premier home games, though many of the increases are for $2 or less per seat.

Coming off their first World Series, the Rangers increased from 19 to 29 the number of home dates considered premier games with higher prices. But about 30,000 seats (69 percent) at Rangers Ballpark will cost less for those games than last season.

Individual ticket prices were announced Wednesday. The biggest increases are for lower box and club seats.

Advance sales on non-premier games are $62 (from $50) for lower box and $58 (from $45) for club. Seats with all-you-can-eat food are up from $34 to $39 for non-premier games.
