This is one of the most contested of regular seasons of the Dominican Winter Professional Baseball Championship. The teams have been shuffling positions in the standings among themselves, keeping at most four games between the first and last place of the regular season of the six-team tournament that ends on 17 December 2018.
Now a story in Listin Diario looks into what it costs for a family to go to the ball park and estimates the outing for a family of five will be around RD$3,000-RD$3,500. The alternatives are many – colmadones with large screen TVs, and the games are televised. The high costs have kept attendance low.
Grand stand seats are RD$300, RD$500 each for a regular game, but when the Aguilas and Licey play, a ticket can sell for up to RD$2,000 each. Pizzas cost RD$100 for one person, popcorn is RD$75. A dish of fried chicken with fries is RD$200.
For instance: a bottle of water or a soft drink costs RD$50, a Motts Juice small bottle costs RD$110. Beer sells for RD$75 the small bottle. A bottle of 75cl of Brugal XV goes for RD$800, 35 ml is RD$400, with Brugal Extra Viejo RD$700/RD$350. A bottle of Dewars White Label 75cl sells for RD$750, RD$450 the smaller 37.5cl bottle. You can buy Grey Goose vodka 75cl for RD$2,000 or 5cl for RD$250, or Eristoff 75cl for RD$650 and 5cl for RD$100. Gin goes for RD$1,500 for a 75cl bottle of Bombay.
