Beware of playoff plan

Ten dollar Rockpile tickets for the first round of the playoffs sound pretty good.
That's before the Rockies ruled fans had to buy an entire set of tickets for a particular round of the playoffs (i.e. no single-game seats) and tacked on a mess of fees, service charges and a chance to pay for the new health-care system in the works in Congress.
Colleague Kevin Denke and his wife got into the postseason, online fray today. They found – much to their disgust – that those $10 Rockpile tickets (the cheapest available) would cost close to $50 per person for a family of four.
At least there's a way to get in there and play this year. But at $50 per person for the first round, the Rockies priced the average fan out of the running.
Again.
