Ticket prices for new baseball stadium announced

Ticket prices for the new baseball stadium announced today. The cost of standard tickets at ¥800-3500 are ¥100-300 more expensive than the old stadium, but you do get a lot more space. While negotiating the 11 ticket choices at the old stadium posed enough headaches, the new stadium will have 29 to get your head around. Options such as private wood decked terraces (¥3500) and lounge areas where you can watch the action horizontally on cushions (¥7000) are great ideas, but one wonders if the offerings aren't a tad too complex.

Comfy?

What are described as suna kaburi seki seats, which take their name from the seats closest to the dohyo at sumo tournaments, offering great views (like this) of the action, are the most expensive in the Central League at ¥8000.

I'll be going through the options and putting them on GetHiroshima over the next couple of weeks. Tickets for the opening series against Chunichi Dragons (4/10-13) go on sale at the old stadium downtown and convenience stores from March 15 and tickets for all other games from March 21.
