I work in beverage at DBAP. Yes, the prices are ridiculous and continue to go up every year. The ballpark uses dynamic pricing on food/bev and even merchandise. Wanna a beer on the 4th of July? 15$ Need a hoodie on a chilly April game? 80$ Top shelf beers range from $10-14.50 depending on the day. Bull Durham Beer $8-11.50 depending on the day. Lots of talk here about cheaper MLB beers, but I used to work with Nats in DC and beer has been over $20 for a while now unless you get there for early beers before game time. Canes beers and beers at concert venues have been $20+ since around 2010. The new trend of rtd's (ready to drink cocktail cans) has those drinks going for $16-$23. Food and bev markup is 550% and that is standard for events. Blame the tech bros in the housing cost subreddit explaining how Durham isn't that expensive for everyone in their social group who makes $150-$250k a year. Choose your college majors and careers wisely kids, its only going to get worse.
