No Complaining; Kate Hudson Can Afford It
Die-hard Yankees fans turn down opportunity to purchase $380 ALDS tickets:
Some diehard Yankee fans were on line for 14 hours early Wednesday, waiting and hoping there’d be tickets available for game one of the playoffs when the doors opened.
. . .
Paul was on the line since 7 p.m. Wednesday night to be there for his beloved team, and he’s on a budget.
But when the doors finally opened, there was disappointment bordering on outrage when dozens of fans found out the cheapest tickets sold cost $380.
“I live right here in the neighborhood. I attended 34 games in the stadium this season, and I am not exactly rich,” said Paul. “I can’t go on line and pay an extra $25 surcharge.”
“Absolutely, something should be done for people in the neighborhood who were giving whole new life to the Yankees, but this is capitalism,” said Sam Soghar.
Fred Negron was the only one of the group who chose to buy the $380 ticket, but that’s because he just sold his house and had the cash.
For comparison’s sake, Phillies NLDS tickets are between $35 and $75.
