"For the second consecutive playoff game, swaths of empty seats filled
Yankee Stadium, entire rows without a single fan. And on Saturday night,
instead of letting them sit embarrassingly open for Game 1 of the ALCS,
ushers were told to fill them with fans from other sections."
Part of it is a problem with MLB's weird scheduling, but it's mostly an unenthusiastic response by a spoiled fan base.
"Indeed, the face-value ticket prices are exorbitant. Seats for Sunday's
Game 2 against the Detroit Tigers are available on the Yankees' website
for between $113 and $688. The Legends Seats – behind home plate and the
surrounding areas – range from $860 to $1,715. A spokesman for Major
League Baseball said the league offers a variety of potential ticket
prices to each team, which then chooses its desired pricing for its LCS
home games."
It's noticeable.
One-percenters showing up in the playoffs, talking on their cell phones, and acting entitled to a walk-off grand slam.
