Baseball Tickets (Background Info)

You are writing an article for your school newspaper about your local

professional baseball team. Season tickets for the team go on sale

next week and you have been assigned to write an article to help fans

determine whether they should buy season tickets or single-game

tickets, based on their expected attendance at the games this season.

Buying a season ticket allows you to attend all 81 home games for a

single price. Without a season ticket, you have to pay for every single

game that you attend.
