And when beer prices are making news at an event, it’s never a good thing for the folks who bought the tickets.
, a six-pack of Busch Light or Michelod Ultra will run you $63. That’s about five times the price of a 12-pack of cans outside the event.
Brutal.
Good news is, if you just want a single beer, that will only cost you $10.50 … or about the price of a 12-pack.
Of course, you don’t have to drink beer at all. A bottle of Dasani comes in at a “cheap” $3.95.
Or you can kick back at home, pay normal prices, watch the race and probably save a couple thousand more dollars.

Attempting to recover the Bud Light losses?
The Clydesdales eat mass quantities.
Moving Anheuser-Busch from St Louis was very expensive.
” a six-pack of Busch Light or Michelod Ultra will run you $63. That’s about five times the price of a 12-pack of cans outside the event.”
Bud Lite? What’s that?!
I have absolutely no desire to attend any professional sports events again.
” a six-pack of Busch Light or Michelod Ultra will run you $63. That’s about five times the price of a 12-pack of cans outside the event.”
Can’t speak for other parts of the world, particularly Europe, but in Asia, if you charge $10.50 for a six pack outside of an event, you’re expected to charge $10.50 INSIDE that event (or find a new line of work). So, if you are one of Obama’s ‘children’ (not that he has many kids there), you don’t get rich just because white customers are stupid enough to pay 5 times as much inside.
Has any one heard of placing Wild Turkey or Bicardi 151 into a plastic flask and sneaking the booze into the event. Purchase a fountain drink coke or Pepsi and secretly mix the two fluids? American ingenuity?! Plan ahead. Be prepared. It’s the American Way!
Or the good old fake binoculars with the booze in it?

Whatever happened to good old grain alcohol and rainwater?
Quit buying non-essentials. It will work wonders. Fast too.
Not a beer drinker, but I did see a 36 pack of the small cokes at Sam’s today for nearly $16.00. i can sure do without that. Ditto for soda in general. It has gotten too high. Some say it is the cost of the cans. Really?
Iced tea by the gallon is just fine with me. Failing that, water. We are fortunate to have some of the best water around straight out of the tap.
With Bud light on the ropes, seeking opinions on the next best logical economical alternative to Bud heavy.
Heard some say PBR.
Not that it matters, but for a possible investment play.
Kids in my younger days were partial to Peils, not sure if that brand has survived.
Been involved with sports car racing both as a spectator and a crew guy for 50 years. Other than the F1 race at Monaco street races are fuck!ng stupid and Monaco is stupid s well but they’ve been doing it for so long it’s kind of a tradition.
Racing surface sucks, no passing zones and EVERY incident on the track results in a full course yellow, for laps and laps.
It’s all about TV money. WWE with wheels. At least the WWE had scantily clad bimbos holding up the board telling you what round it was.
Even better, get a colostomy bag, pour the booze in that, and just tape it under your shirt with some medical tape. Say you got in a car accident and now you have to wear that. What are they gonna do? Try to disconnect it and see what is in the bag???
In America, they use refreshments to offset the entrance prices, to get more people into the event because once you’re in and everybody is drinking around you, you’re more likely to buy something. If they raise the entry rates, you’re less likely to attend, which means no refreshments being sold.
“Kids in my younger days were partial to Peils, not sure if that brand has survived.”
All the trendy kids today are drinking White Claws, not beer. When I was younger, something like that would have been seen as a “girl drink” and guys would avoid it, but I don’t think Gen Z has that kind of hang up.

Could be, although I think it’s more of ‘captive pricing’, as Asia certainly doesn’t have problems filling their venues, even with lower entry prices, at least at the places that I’ve visited.
Rolling Rock was big back in my day but I drank Heineken lager as well.
PBR is my go to!
NASCAR on the streets of Chicago.
Not exactly a match made in Heaven.
You can get a couple of bottles worth of Bacardi 151 on a cruise ship by pouring it into a large empty bottle of original carmal color Listerine.
