The Harrisburg Senators announce today their new 2010 season and individual game ticket prices. Back in December, the City of Harrisburg and Harrisburg Senators announced a two-phase renovation to Metro Bank Park. The first phase was completed in May of this year with the second phase beginning at the conclusion of the Senators home schedule this year.
The 2010 version of Metro Bank Park will feature completely new seating behind home plate from dugout to dugout with new individual seats the same as installed in the outfield during phase one of the stadium renovation. The aluminum bleacher seating along the left field foul line will be removed with present box seats down the left field line being replaced by individual seats. The red box seats along the first base line are also slated to be replaced with the wider individual seats.
The specific ticket pricing is as follows:
Dugout Box Seats: $750 per seat for the entire season or $12.50 per seat per game. These seats are brand new for the 2010 season. With prepay discounts, the season ticket pricing drops to $675 or $9.50 per seat. Current season ticket holders have opportunities for even deeper discounts.
Field Box Seats: $650 per seat for the entire season or $11.00 per seat per game. These include the current red box seats down the right and left field lines, which will be replaced by new seating. With prepay discounts, season ticket pricing drops to $585 or $8.24 per seat.
Reserve: $500 per seat for the entire season or $9 per seat per game. These include the new 2009 outfield seating in left and right field and the new individual seats in the main seating structure between the dugouts. With prepay discounts, season ticket holders can pay as low as $6.34 per seat.
General Admission: $325 per seat for the entire season or $6 per game for adults or $4 a game for children. These seats are located down the right field line in what are currently reserve seats in the 200 sections.
“We considered many, many seating and pricing options,” stated Senators President Kevin Kulp. “We felt it was very important that our prices remain as close as possible to our current pricing. Our field box, reserve and general admission tickets are only going up $1 at the box office with patrons receiving a much more comfortable seat plus they be able to take advantage of all the other conveniences and amenities associated with what’s basically going to be a new ballpark.”
Each full-season ticket purchased will also receive a free ticket to the 2010 Eastern League All-Star Game scheduled for July 14, 2010 at Metro Bank Park. All season ticket holders will also receive a free ticket to any post-season games the Senators are involved in at the conclusion of the 2010 season.

Well, that was around what I expected (everything going up a dollar). Around what Reading charges now. I figured the Senators were not going to jack the prices up to York prices (who charge 14 bucks for box seats, if I remember correctly).
Interesting article, I had orginally thought that they were not raising the costs of admission but- I guess that has changed?

Keith,
The Sens front office said they would not raise pricing for the 2009 season.
Rumors were floating around that prices would increase after the renovation was complete.
Sorry I am in on this so late. Given the seating diagram that they sent out it looks like phase 2 of the renovations have been scaled way back...or they will complete them over two years. Referring to the current first base grandstand remaining intact as the new GA section and nothing replacing the old third base bleachers. I thought all the old seating was to be replaced.
Any information?
I think that is all being renovated, maybe in the same fashion that all the stuff behind home plate is.
Since Harrisburg doesn't draw Reading numbers, I'm sure the loss of 3rd base seats is made up with the outfield seats, in a way, once the renovations are all done. If the Senators were drawing on average a thousand or two more, im sure there would be more seating on 3rd base.
Thank you! The third base grandstand (current GA section) is the oldest part of the park, it actually predates the '87 construction by many, many years. I remember in the late 60s and early 70s riding my bike to City Island and running up and down those stands...then riding around the empty reservoir (where the soccer field is now), passing by the (then) creepy boarded up beach house and going home.
