This morning I tried to buy one “best available” seat to New Yankee Stadium for Opening Day.
I was offered the below:
| Section | Row | Type | Ticket Price | Convenience Charge | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24A | 5 | Standard Admission | US $2,625.00 | US $59.70 |
Legends Seating Legends Seating $900 4 PRICE LEVEL 1 |
So for just $2700 I can go on opening day. (Just curious why the convenience charge is more on a more expensive ticket? Are these tickets heavier? Does it take more manpower to count my money?)
This gets me wondering? What will they do with the unsold tickets? If Opening Day isn’t 100% sold out, then I’m sure “Tuesday against the Royals” isn’t.
Can you cut a $2600 ticket? To what? $1300? $650? $325? If you paid $2600 and hear that seats are now going for $325 don’t you get mad?
Do they give them to a charity? Bus in local school kids for good PR?
I don’t have the solution, and without a time machine I don’t think the Yankees do either.
(I actually wrote the above this morning so I’d have content this evening. As I type this sentence it is noon and I see Neil Best had a similar thought in Newsday. Then I wanted to give the Opening Night piece daylight).
