With attendance down across the board for the 30 teams that make up Major League Baseball, both teams and those greedy ticket brokers with storefronts are stuck with more tickets than customers.
So what happens when supply exceeds demand? The customer wins.
StubHub, that breeding ground for sellable tickets at a premium, has become the primary source for buying tickets below face value.
While these deep discounts cannot and will not be found for a Yanks-Sox game at either Fenway Park or Yankee Stadium, I have found amazing tickets for a Saturday game at Yankee Stadium. Tickets for Next Saturday's Blue Jays-Yanks game can be had for about $25, normally priced at $75.
While not the best seats in the house, they are an amazing bargain for $25. And in my opinion, any ticket that is substantially less than face value really is a terrific value!
Ticket prices are no joke these days, especially in "big markets" here in the northeast. My girlfriend and I have joked that we could fly to visit my parents in Kansas City and see the Sox play there for less than it would cost to get 2 tickets at Fenway.
