I remember back in the 70's when athletes salaries were "skyrocketing" right along with ticket prices, there were many discussions with friends about how will people be able to afford to go to games. The consensus was that wages will rise. We all pretty much agreed that was true, but we also agreed we may not be that much better off; that loaf of bread that cost 30 cents would end up costing us $2.

Well, guess what? However, I agree, somehow it's ok.

Most of those sports tickets are bought by Corporations now and given out as perks. If you had to pay the full freight to take a family of 4 to Fenway your looking a a bare minimum of $600, with parking and food.
The average family might be able to afford that a couple times a years.
