$2,625 top ticket price at new Yankee Stadium

If you want to buy a front-row seat at the new Yankee Stadium for an individual game, the list price of a ticket is $2,625.

NEW YORK: If you want to buy a front-row seat at the new Yankee Stadium for an individual game, the list price of a ticket is $2,625.

Individual game sales for the first season of the $1.5 billion ballpark start on Tuesday, and the Legends Seats that ring the infield start at $525 a game, according to the New York Yankees' Web site. Those seats cost $500-$2,500 as part of full season tickets, and they include food and soft drinks.

The cheapest tickets are the bleachers in the outfield, worth $14.

The Yankees said last summer that they had sold 3,500 of 4,300 premium seats as part of season plans, but sales slowed when the recession intensified.

Across town at the Mets' new Citi Field, where individual game sales began last weekend, the Mets have 35 categories of tickets, each with five levels of prices that vary depending on the opponent, day of the week and month. The Mets' top tickets, which sold out as part of season plans, are priced at $295-$695 and average $495. Their lowest-priced seats go for $11.
