Chicago Cubs Most Expensive Ticket in Baseball: The Chicago Cubs have overtaken the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox for the highest-priced regular tickets in the major leagues, according to an annual survey by the Team Marketing Report. The fan cost index in the league -- the average cost of two adult tickets, two child tickets, two small draft beers, four small soft drinks, four hot dogs, parking, two programs and two adult caps -- is $195.08. The same things cost $330 at Wrigley Field.
Last time I saw a ballgame in AZ a beer was $8.50, so they must be selling their tickets super-cheaply.

Now that Milton Bradley's gone, it's a bit more of a wholesome family experience at Wrigley. The W flag, the sing-alongs, etc.
At the other end of the spectrum, you can tour most of the Vatican for free.
But you can't bring the kids.

Why would anyone need two programs?

Adult (usually Dad) has one for scoring, kids use the other one while they learn how.

Why would two adults only need two small draught beers?

Now that is a good question.

That $195.08 figure is the average across all of baseball for the items you mentioned. In Chicago the cost of those items would be $330, per the article.
Amazingly, in Arizona the cost of all those items (per the article) is only $115. That's a bargain.
