Summary
The Los Angeles Dodgers sold a limited edition Shohei Ohtani souvenir cup for $75, which came with free refills for the entire season. Fans were furious with the pricing, with some calling it “ridiculous elitist nonsense” that would push ordinary fans away. The cup was initially offered with free refills only on the day of purchase, but the team later changed the promotion to include free refills for the entire season.
Our Reading
The souvenir cup gets a new price tag.
A $75 cup with free refills is still a $75 cup. The Dodgers are trying to make up for their massive payroll by selling overpriced merchandise to fans. The cup may be a cool souvenir, but the price is a reflection of the team’s elitist approach to fandom. As one fan said, “Going to a stadium in the United States is increasingly a rip-off.”
