A fifteen dollar magazine is one thing, a $120 box mag is another. Tracer BBs are also very expensive and my mag holds 2500 rounds, and I don't like the idea of "salt & peppering" my BB load because your tracer shots would be very inconsistent and make it much more difficult to aim. Lastly, we don't usually have enough night games to justify the cost in the first place.
Fair enough, I feel the same way about justifying cost. I think I attended one or two night games last year, year before maybe a half dozen. While I'd like to have some mags to use with tracer BBs (will consider making one), I'd much rather that than a tracer unit.
