although it's pure speculation, I'd be surprised if 20 bucks wouldn't have gotten you in the gate at the World Cup final, maybe a bad seat, but in.

Well..... not that I know the answer to that one, but if so, thank God. I'm sick of people jacking up prices to see a freaking game. I was going to go with my Dad to the All-Star game, but I felt guilty for him having to pay $500 a ticket to sit in the nosebleeds while I can't find a summer job.

On the ratings thing... maybe a reason the Mets were higher is because the final was played at 1PM? I know a lot of my friends had to miss it.

About the closest you could get would be the US ratings of the World Cup Final vs the championship games in other sports. And even then, you're talking about one game that is not going to have Americans in it and is rarely going to be in prime-time compared to for the most part, games in a series. How do you compare? Maybe if you have a game 7 to look at. I don't know, but comparing MLS to any other American sports league is just flawed.

Edit: now that I think about it, you could probably draw some reasonable comparisons between US WC Qualifiers and regular season games from other sports. And US World Cup matches to playoff games. Maybe...

I paid $80 (face value) for round of 16 Sweden-Saudi Arabia and they were front row midfield.
