Your tickets are overpriced

So I got bored and started looking for Yankees Red Sox tickets because in my mind I have to go to another game between these teams. I don't want my only memory of Yankees vs Red Sox to be a Yankees win.

I started looking for tickets, expecting for it to be a sellout. It wasn't, tickets were available on yankees.com. I got really excited and even more excited when I saw them hold tickets for me to attempt to purchase. I looked for best available and I got tickets almost behind home plate. I got really excited until I saw a price of $300 before you include the fees. Add in food and transportation and it's about $400.

Now the other trick is finding someone else that you would want to spend $400 on or would be willing to spend $400 for a game so that you don't go by yourself. If I just go by myself it would be pretty boring and pointless. I don't want to get stuck next to some chatterbox that I don't know for three hours. (Which means a lot of people don't want to sit next to me...although I usually don't become a chatterbox with a complete stranger)

Who would go to a baseball game by themselves? I would under very rare circumstances, like a UConn baseball game. Never a pro game though, unless it's the world series.

So anyway if you have tickets remaining that are really close to the field and are unsold for your biggest rivalry than your tickets cost too much. Cut the price in half and I'd certainly buy.

Send the Yankees a link to this with hopes they can cut a deal with me!
