Want a Yankees Ticket? Shell Out $1,000

Sky high prices at Yankee Stadium are record for resellers

Share

(Newser) – The average fan might need a loan to snap up one of the thousands of tickets available for tonight’s Game 6 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium. The cheapest seats are going for $550 online, the Daily News reports, but the online average is above $1,000. Resale site StubHub assumes the game will be its highest grossing ever—considering that the record is now held by Game 2, the last one played in NYC.

I'd rather not throw money down a drain to watch a team of cheaters that should win 9 times out of 10, considering their astronomical payroll. Reply
