Despite their claims of a difficult financial year, the Dodgers are not raising ticket or parking prices for 1993.

“Quite frankly, I am concerned about the economic problems of baseball--we are going through a very troubled time,” said Peter O’Malley, Dodger president, in a statement. “However, raising ticket prices is not the answer.”

Ticket prices will remain $11 for box seats, $8 for reserved seats, $6 for general admission and $3 for general admission for children and senior citizens on the day of the game. Parking is $4.
