The Oakland Athletics have been residents of The Coliseum (now reffered to as O.co Coliseum) since 1968 , when they relocated from Kansas City's Municipal Stadium. Since moving the A's have won 4 World Series, 6 AL Pennants, and 14 West Division Titles. The Athletics' time in Oakland may be nearing expiration as team owner Lew Wolff has hopes of moving the team to San Jose. However, those plans come with considerable opposition, the San Francisco Giants.

The Giants continue to block the A's move from Oakland to the fact that their organization owns territorial rights to Santa Clara County. With San Jose being the third largest city in the state of California and tenth largest city in the United States it is clear why the Giants are reluctant to agree to the Athletics move.

The San Francisco Giants created plenty of headlines following the 2008 season, when the Giants, fresh off their fourth straight losing season, introduced "dynamic pricing" — i.e. prices that change by the day depending on supply and demand and other factors — to some locations at AT&T Park.

A little more than two years later, the Giants are reigning World Series champions for the first time since the franchise resided in New York and are heading into 2011 relying on a more tried and true method for maximizing and improving ticket revenue.

Turns out everything really is bigger in Texas.

The World Series is finally coming to the Dallas area after a 38-year wait and the demand for tickets is, quite literally, overwhelming TexasTickets.com and its president, Scott Baima.

"So big I don't even have time to talk," Baima told TicketNews Monday, October 25. "Biggest event I've ever seen in Dallas."

Entering the 2009 Major League Baseball season, there were concerns among teams that attendance could suffer in the face of the poor economy. Teams attempted to keep their stadiums full by reducing or freezing ticket prices at 2008 levels, but still ticket sales across the league have seen a slight decrease from last season.

The San Francisco Giants took a unique approach with 2,000 bleacher seats at their home ballpark, AT&T Park, deciding to experiment with dynamic pricing, a practice that adjusts the price of tickets based on multiple factors including opponent, weather and pitching match-up, among others.

Looking to capitalize on the game day demand, or lack thereof, for some tickets, baseball's San Francisco Giants will reportedly launch a dynamic pricing initiative next season where they set walk-up ticket prices on the fly.

The plan would allow the team to change the price of a ticket, up or down, for anywhere from about 25 cents to $2 based on how well or how poorly certain seats are selling, according to BusinessWeek. Currently, only about 2,000 upper deck tickets, which are traditionally tougher to sell depending on the game, would fall under the plan.
