The way the Yankees did look at their 2008 pricing was as an interim step of sorts en route to 2009 and their move across the street.

"The best way to say it is that approximately 50 percent of the increases that have been put in effect in 2008 will not increase into the new building," he said.

The team has about 37,000 season-ticket holders, and there is no reason to expect much drop-off, if any, with the new stadium on the horizon.

Trost said the price of bleacher seats will rise from $10 to $12 (in a season package) and upper reserved seats will go from $17 to $20 or $25. There also are increases at far more expensive levels.

Unlike the Mets, the Yankees do not offer variable pricing based on opponents or day of week.

The 10 most expensive ticket levels already are sold out.

The costliest of the remaining eight levels, the "Tier Boxes MVP," cost $55 per game for a full season ticket, $65 for an individual ticket in advance and $70 on game day.

The most expensive ticket is $400 for a game-day purchase at the "Field Championship" level.
