Sure, when it comes to professional sports it seems as though most New Yorkers are pretty focused on football, basketball and hockey these days. But the next never ending baseball season is right around the corner. How do we know? Because while the Mets are selling off their crap, yesterday the Yankees started their annual select a seat event—in which season ticket holders can trade up their seats. And boy, those premium tickets ($1575 per game available only for all games!) still rankle. As our spy put it, they "make the ones five rows back from home plate for $260-a-pop seem a positive steal..."
The annual open house—available only for those who have already paid for their tickets—started today and continues for the next three or four days with about 30-50 people per hour running around the empty stadium picking their seats (which we're told is as much fun as it sounds). Sadly it is too late if you want to go this year, but you could always buy in for next year. Or not? Considering how the Yankees accidentally e-mailed private season ticket holder info out last year, we aren't sure we'd want to have a season ticket. Who are we kidding! We'd totally take a pair.
