Astros lower ticket prices, change food policy

HOUSTON -

The Houston Astros are making some changes that fans will be excited about.

Jim Crane recently purchased the team and decided to make the game more accessible to Houstonians who want to watch it live at Minute Maid Park.

The team is reducing prices for 5,000 seats. The Outfield Deck seats will cost $5 for adults and $1 for children. Seats in the Field Box II level were $41 in the 2011 season, but they will cost $29 in the 2012 season. Tickets for the Power Club, on the club level, will cost $35 with a $15 credit for food, beverages and retail items.

Food and beverages can cost more than tickets, but the Astros have a solution for that. Fans will be allowed to bring food and water to the games. Food must be transported in a small, clear plastic bag and water must be in a sealed 1-liter or smaller plastic bottle. One bottle per person is allowed.

Season ticket holders will get a rebate for their loyalty. A 5 percent rebate will be issued to full season and 27-game season ticket holders who renew their accounts by Jan. 31. The rebate will be issued in the form of a gift card that can be used to buy food, merchandise and individual game tickets.
