YANKEES TICKETS FULL
While you can buy these tickets at full price, I suspect that most of them get sold at a discount, sponsored by a different company each week, probably. You have to check the special page for these tickets, because they're being discounted so much that their nominal value has little real meaning. If you go to the Yankees website and look at their seating and pricing page, they don't list a price for these seats. And you're pretty sure you got one nicer than this from a bubble gum machine once. So you spend your $100.37 to get your watch "with a $50 value", but when you look at it more closely you realize that the watch is made in some sweatshop, has a cheap plastic strap, a cheap digital timepiece, and a cheap plastic fastener. They're produced and packaged expressly for this promotion, so they can say it's got a value of anything they want, because you have no way to prove otherwise. The normal price for these seats is $125! Where else but Yankee Stadium would you be expected to shell out more than a hundred bucks for such a terrible view? You know how department stores sometimes offer you "free" stuff to promote things, and to get you to spend money there? They'll offer, say, a watch or a pouch full of cosmetics "with a $50 value" if you spend $100.Įxcept the watch or the cosmetics can't actually be bought in their store or anyone else's. And, since it's supposed to be nice all week, the air conditioning probably isn't needed either.
All of these games start at 7:05 PM, so the shade probably isn't necessary. Monday through Thursday nights), which brings them down to just over $90 per seat, with fees. But wait! Not ten times, not nine times, not even eight or seven times-but for a limited time only, thanks to MasterCard, you can get these seats, with their horrible view of almost everything except the center fielder's back, for just over SIX times the cost of a bleacher ticket (plus TicketMaster fees)! Yay! The email promo offers you a $40 "discount" on the seats in the cafe for this week's games (i.e. That's right folks, for almost ten times the price of a bleacher seat, you get.shade-and air conditioning.
By contrast, bleacher seats cost just $14 each, and have about the same view (unless you're stuck here). And these are about as far from the action as you can get without actually leaving the stadium. The seats in the sports bar just below this are $90 each. An email I received from the Yankees today offered a special promotion on these seats in the cafe above and behind center field, which nominally cost $125 each. But this may be the shadiest and most ridiculous ploy yet. Wow, two seats near the dugout for only $2,500? Yeah, I guess I don't need that used car after all. They lowered prices on some of the most expensive tickets in the house, but those were so preposterously overpriced to begin with that even some of the new prices are still ridiculous. The Yankees, like most of the rest of MLB, have been having some trouble selling tickets, with attendance down over 100,000 from last year's pace to date. The Yankees did them one better, and just incorporated the restaurant (and the lousy view) into the ballpark.
