Beer Rip-off: Arena's "Large" beer found to be the same volume as "regular"

Damn, that's shady! Just pre-party and sneak a plastic bottle of booze in and you're golden.

 

Yeah I remember that same thing discovered at Seahawks games. Have to wonder who would pay an extra $3 for an extra 4 oz of beer in the first place. Rip-off either way.

 

wow that's some deep investigative journalism there.

I didn't understand the title at first. for a moment i thought Arena Brewing Co was selling bombers with only 12 ounces of beer inside lol.

 

What I would like to know is if the 20oz cup held only 16oz of beer or if the 16oz cup actually held 20oz?

 

There was a similar story of beer prices at Dodger Stadium just a few years ago. A "small" beer was found to be 18 ounces @ $6, the "regular" beer was 20 ounces @ $8, and a "large" was 26 ounces @ $10. http://www.yumsugar.com/Stadiums-Sell-Beer-Unfair-Rates-15445345

 

Wow. Go buy a beer at Fenway and you will all feel very good about what you're paying for beer at the balpark

 

Stop the presses! Buying beer at a ballpark is a ripoff?

 

Reminds me of Progressive Field's pricing structure. 12 oz for $4, or $9 for 24 oz or something like that. Well...I'll take 2 smalls please...

 

I paid $7.50 for Sweetwater IPA at a New Orleans Pelicans game. I wasn't even mad.

 

Here is the glaring problem with that nobody has mentioned.

You can buy a 16 oz for $4. Two of those would cost $8 vs one 20oz for $7. That's easy math folks.

 

Known this for years. Ever ordered a pop from a fast food chain ? Light ice please.

 

Who knew that a hastily poured beer would produce so much head???!

 

CRAP ! Now I gotta check the Yum Center, Conseco Fieldhouse and Great American Ballpark to see if I've financed the government

 

They're all idiots.

Who complains about getting the equivalent of a large beer for $4? That's nearly half off!

 

And that, my friends, was the catalyst to Heath Forsey's venture into becoming the world's #1 plastic cup manufacturer. "True to Measure, Inc."

 

You would have been an idiot to buy the large in the first place. A 75% price increase for 25% more beer? They deserve to be ripped off.

 

Nothing new, unfortunately. The bigger question is why people would pay $3 more for only 4oz of beer. Crazy. You could buy two regular sized beers for only $8, and get 12 more ounces of beer than the $7 size.

 

You know those little, "mini", cans of soda you see at the store? 7.5 ounces vs. (a regular) 12 oz.

Just so we're all in the know...

 

16oz Surly Bandwagon at a Twins game and I had no complaints.
