Abstract
Creative pricing strategies that have been in place in other industries, including second- and third-degree price discrimination, two-part tariffs, and dynamic pricing, are now being adopted by baseball franchise owners after many years of more simplistic pricing strategies. Indeed, much of the current wave of sophisticated baseball pricing is essentially what, for nearly a century, economists have been calling second-degree price discrimination.
