From Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times:
David Siegel, the Dodgers’ vice president of ticket sales, told the Los Angeles Times on Saturday that his office has seen “unprecedented” demand for season tickets this winter. So this is really just standard business procedure, even if it prices some people out. Last year you could buy a season ticket package at Dodger Stadium for as little as $5 per game. This year, the lowest package starts at $12 per game.
When the Dodgers announced late Friday that they had put an “extremely limited” number of season tickets on sale, they did not say they had imposed significant price increases on nearly every one of those tickets.
The Dodgers now are charging as much as 140% more than the season price set last fall. They increased the price in each of the 20 ticket categories made available Friday, and by at least 50% in 10 of them.

Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw signed a record seven-year, $215 million extension last month.
