All You Can Eat Seats - Stadiums Feed the Masses
Stadiums Feed the Masses

What do major sports venues do when they want to sell more seats? They turn the cheap seats into all-you-can-eat seats. Fans are flipping for the gimmick, which usually cost about $25-$30 more than a regular ticket. Their special admission cost gets them no waiting access to all the nachos, hot dogs, peanuts and soda they can consume in nine innings. At Atlanta Braves games, fans can even get free beer in the all-you-can-eat section.

Some critics call it gluttonous. The food is unhealthy, variety is scant, and no one can possibly consume $30 worth of nachos. They say it’s a consumer ripoff. But stadiums are thrilled, they’re selling out sections of seats that normally would have gone empty.

Nearly half of the 30 major league baseball teams have added the all-inclusive seats, and others are looking into it. The NHL has nine teams offering the deal; the NBA has six. The idea has not caught on with the NFL, but NASCAR has put it in overdrive, selling the tickets at multiple racetracks. (boston)
