Of course it has nothing to do with the fact the price of a good seat is $500. Or the best seats are $1500. Nope, they’ve decided that if stub hub wasn’t around, the people who buy season tickets but can’t go will just eat them. They think that if resellers are forbidden to resell tickets at below face value that single game purchasers will buy directly from the box office. This is the definition of short sighted. Alienating people who can’t afford to go. Of course, people who pay less than face value never buy souvenirs, food or drink.

I’m just curious as to what the attendance record would be if you took out the Dodgers and the Marlins attendance increases for this year.

In any event, the rise in attendance is good news.

Somebody tell Rovell to fire up his Twitter.
