Lonn Trost on WFAN yesterday:
“Those seats are being sold at $5, not $12. I think some seats may have gone out improperly invoiced. Those are going to be corrected, but those 600 seats are going to be $5.”
Oops. Silly billing error. Silly Yankees.
It’s good that they caught this after message boards, then New Stadium Insider, then every sport blog, then the newspapers, then WFAN brought it to their attention, otherwise sarcastic bloggers might observe that on Monday Trost said:
“We had a choice of selling it to somebody or not. … For $12, it’s a choice of taking it or not.”
Or someone might check out the seating chart and see that the chart accidentally says the seats cost $12.
Neil Best (who rocks and has the best column going these days) has plenty more.
Good stuff here too on Insider.
I think the new stadiums may have changed the karma. This seems very Flushing-like. Maybe the bad PR genie moved to the north side of 161st when Shea came down.
