It seems that CNBC has gotten their hands on the Yankees postseason ticket prices. You should head over there to read the full thing but here’s the news I was excited about:
Those season ticket holders sitting in non-premium seats will pay the same per-game price as they are paying for the regular season for their ALDS seats, with the exception of one section of seats.
I have a partial season ticket plan, and while I don’t get playoff privileges in my own seats like Full Season holders do, I do have a chance to get tickets in the presale (and I also get a chance through my Staten Island Yankees plan). In the past, I just haven’t been able to fork out the money for playoff tickets because of the steep increases but because of this it’s likely that I’ll be able to actually use my presale privileges for good and pick up a pair for my boyfriend and I. Even if they’re advance price, I figure they must be around the same range as current advance price which will mean they’ll wind up $40 a seat or so after the hideous Ticketmaster fees in the Grandstand Dugout (if such tickets can be snagged).
These won’t be my only playoffs, as I faxed over my order form for the Staten Island Yankees postseason today but it’s nice to finally have the opportunity to head to some October baseball games in the Bronx.
And I’ll be able to bring in a bag. What more could I ask for?
(Yes, I do realize that there is no gouging going on because they are afraid people just wouldn’t buy them but I am not complaining.)
Windy with a chance of dingers.
