| Text | The Indianapolis base ball directory last night fixed the price of season tickets at $15, and limited the number. Indianapolis News January 13, 1877 [from a letter to the editor] ...it seems to me that $10 for a season ticket would be more popoular with the public and more profitable in the end to the directory. The days of war prices are in the past. Greenbacks are nearly equal to gold. The laboring man has to work for a dollar a day, and glad to get it. Managers of public amusements are aware of this fact and therefore should govern themselves accordingly. Indianapolis News January 16, 1877 [from a letter to the editor by a club director] There was an article in the News of the 16 th inst. in regard to the management of the Indianapolis ball club fixing the price of season tickets at $15. Allow me to say that the reason for so doing was because in getting up our guarantee fund for the season, we found many persons who did want to subscribe any stated sum, but said they would prefer to take a season ticket at $15 or $25, so as to help us; therefore we are going to issue a small number of tickets at $15 to accommodate these person. Indianapolis Sentinel January 18, 1877 The directory of the base ball club have decided to hold season tickets at $10 up to the first of March, after that $15. But 100 will be sold.
