* Review/profile: Kevin Reichard

The author of The Complete Guide to Spring Training (August Publications) is featured in this article from The Canadian Press.

Reichard uses the opportunity to discuss where the bargains are at spring training venues. He

says there are even more opportunities than usual this year for travellers interested in spring training. For one thing, “this is the longest spring training period in years,” he said. In addition, he said, ticket sales “are a little bit slower because of the economy.”

Premium seats usually sell out fast, and it can also be hard to get tickets for a few teams like the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants. But for others, regular seats will be available right up until game day.

And prices for most games are reasonable. General attendance or lawn seating is US$10 or less for many games, and the stadiums are smaller, minor league-size arenas where you’re never too far away from the action.
