I'm not sure that's too unusual.  Beer is quite expensive in the US.  In a city 
bar you could easily pay €6-7 per beer and a plate of nachos could be $7-8, so 
the tab at the ballgame is only about $5 over the odds.

I was at the O2 in Dublin the other night to see Roger Waters and two beers and 
some nachos would have been about €20 (around $28).  I was moaning like **** 
about the prices of course, but its not a-typical of event pricing the world 
over...
