BRONX, NY – Those were some great playoff games that were just played, and Major League Baseball should be proud of its show. The fans of New York got into it, and for that they got a “sweeper” thrown at them by the morons of MLB.
They have taken advantage of the craze that has swept NY by way of ticket prices. No ticket can be had for under $1,100 dollars. MLB has released tickets to StubHub and TickPick and are letting them do the dirty work.
A Game 3 ticket in the Bronx is going for $2,071 bucks. The seat is located in the left field bleachers, section 237 Row 4. Keep in mind that bleacher seats have no back support. You are practically leaning forward as you’re watching the game for over three hours. Not only are you over 400 feet from home plate, but you are also nowhere near the Bleacher Creatures, the heart and soul of the fanbase, who do their “Roll Call” from right field.
The loyal fan base who bleeds for their team will have to make a decision of going into their life savings to be inside the stadium. The phonies, who will have no problem burning their daddy’s money, will be gobbling up these tickets from the secondary market. Markets like StubHub and TickPick, who label themselves as “The Authorized Marketplace of MLB.”
As the credit cards are being swiped, MLB turns their heads and sees nothing. They’ve turned into the biggest slimes in the history of ticket sales.
Back in 1981 I took a ride up to the Bronx where the Yankees were playing the L.A. Dodgers in Game 1. The streets were flooded with scalpers. I purchased a 10 dollar bleacher seat for what I thought was an insane price of 30 dollars. I got caught up with Fall Ball Fever, and that scalper was as evil as they come.
This current Fall Classic there is a seat available in section 22, Row 3 on TickPick for Game 3. As of Monday, the price of that ticket is $20,684. THAT’S DOLLARS. I want to apologize to that evil scalper from back in the days, and I miss him dearly.
