Reds Decide Against Raising Ticket Prices

The Cincinnati Reds have decided to leave their single-game ticket prices unchanged for 1986 home games at Riverfront Stadium.

“There had been some discussion about raising ticket prices, but I want to show the fans how much we appreciate their support,” Reds owner Marge Schott said. “We are committed to keeping Reds’ baseball at a price our fans and their families can afford.”

The National League team’s 1985 home attendance of 1,834,619 is the Reds’ highest total since 1980 and is 558,732 greater than the 1984 total of 1,275,887, an increase of 43.8%.

The Reds charge $8 for box seats in the stadium’s blue and yellow sections, $7.50 for box seats in the green section, $7 for red-section box seats, $6 for reserved seats in the green section, $5.50 for red-area reserved seats and $3.50 for “top six” reserved seats.
