Complaint Review: Leahy's Mobil

We are fine with the parkings in Boston. We dont have to worry about it. Okay>?

A, Since you seem to be a baseball fan, here is an example you might understand. Let's pretend that you had an autographed Carlton Fisk baseball THAT you were interested in selling. And Market says that the baseball is worth $10,000.00. But you have a couple people interested in getting it. And you decide to raise the price to $12,000.00 By your own example here YOU WOULD BE GUILTY OF RIPPING THE PEOPLE WHO WERE INTERESTED IN IT. Just something for you to try to understand. I look forward to your reply.

The parking space is worth whatever someone will pay for it. I have a friend who lives in Pasadena right off of the route for the Rose Parade. She sells parking spaces in her yard and driveway for $100 each on New Year's Day, and she does it by reservation only, paid up front! She has room for 12 vehicles, so she makes a cool $1200 each New Year's Day. Just the luck of the draw.

First off, I'm a new user from Maine. I posted "Massachusetts" since I thought that I was supposed to put the location of the business. Honest mistake for a first-time poster.

I'm perfectly fine with supply and demand, but let's break this down since I still don't think you get my complaint: Parking at sporting events are NEVER more expensive than admission to the event itself, let alone twice the amount of a box seat.

A quick study of two other classic ballparks where parking is very scarce shows that parking near the stadium runs roughly $25 at both Wrigley Field and Yankee Stadium. Tickets equivalent to those cited in my initial post (RF boxes) run $52 in New York and $42 in Chicago. Half the price of a ticket to the event is perfectly reasonable.

The name of this website is RIPOFF REPORT. This is a clear-cut example of RIPPING CONSUMERS OFF. Now, do you comprehend my complaint?

I'm copying and pasting here, and YOU wrote "These thieves are charging DOUBLE the amount of a Right Field Box seat to the game" What does this statement meen if you weren't complaining about the price of tickets.

And it's a simple case of supply and demmand, thay have a supply of parking spots that they are willing to let people use, for a price. And the demand is great enough for them to charge whatever they want.

All I can say is 'God Bless America'

And who are you that you want them to stop charging whatever they want? Are you the owner of a parking lot and can't get in on the action?

One last thing, where do you live? Your first post said 'MASSACHUSETTS' and your response said 'MAINE' Which is it? I look forward to your response.

First off, I never said anything about the price of a ticket to the game being overpriced. That's the Boston Red Sox's jurisdiction, and have no problem paying $45 to see a ballgame.

However, don't you think it's a tad morally repugnant to charge the same amount to park your car as two tickets to get into the actual event? There's a huge difference between "free enterprise" and "price gouging".

For the record, this same lot was $25 just last season. Why the astronomical increase? Greed, pure and simple.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? One thing says that they are, in YOUR opinion, charging too much for the baseball tickets.

And the next part you are saying that they are charging more that the cost of a parking ticket to park in THEIR lot.

Here's an idea for you, DON'T BUY YOU TICKETS FROM THEM AND PARK SOMEWHERE ELSE. And if someone wants to pay their prices, let them. I think they can do what they want. Makes sence don't it?
