A quick review of tickets being offered by the Yankees on their “official” website shows that they have plenty of seats available for tomorrow night’s game against their arch-rivals the Boston red Sox. Heretofore tickets for Red Sox games were only to be had at “Scalper” prices. For tomorrow’s game, there are plenty of field level seats at prices ranging from $250-2,650 per ticket. If they can’t sell out a Red Sox game, imagine what the sales prospects are for a game with the Washington Nationals!! It will be interesting to see what move the Yankees make at the last minute to fill the seats and avoid the humiliation of empty field level seats at a game between sports’ greatest rivals. Some charity is going to get very lucky in the next 36 hours. Imagine a New York plutocrat’s horror at having to sit next to a poor charity recipient!!!
At least someone will be appreciative of the Steinbrenner family’s failure to grasp the basic tenets of micro-economics.
