I went last Sunday also and the ticket was $44.
I got the seat for nothing since someone else couldn't go and it was offered to me.  They  wouldn't take any money for it.  I'm not sure how it works since I've never bought season tickets or "Packages", but I believe they are discounted depending on the package.  I'm not sure if they leave the normal price on the ticket or not.


Cheers,
Brian

I caught my first ball at Camden Yards, hit by Right Fielder Kevin Kiermeier of the Tampa Bay Rays on 6-27-14. It was a make-up game that was originally rained out.

I didn't have to wait long since it happened in the 1st half of the 1st inning with only 1 out. Kevin went on to have a great game and unfortunately the Os lost.


I held my DSLR with it's 300mm zoom lens in my right hand and jumped a bit to outreach the guy next to me and caught it with my left hand. It had bounced high from a different section right to me with a good deal of spin on it but I held on to the ball with no problem. 



I remember thinking the night before that if I got a chance for a ball I would use my hat to catch it but when it happened I instinctively used my hand without once thinking about my hat! :)


Cha cha, Nikon D600, PS-CS6, SPM, IrfanView.
