I don't think you guys understand the fevor that surrounds the New York Yankees and Yankee stadium. Especially in a city full money. If you charge it, they will pay.

If that is the last game played there (and more than likely it is) that ticket also carries with it the opportunity for a piece of the stadium. And as silly as this may sound, to a die hard Yankee/baseball fan, paying that much for the ticket is justified.

Personally, I would want to attend the game if I already purchased the tickets. If I were you and were a true fan of baseball and/or the Yankees I would go

(PS I am a disgustingly die hard Yankees fan )

i would go to the game too. but good luck trying to take stuff from the stadium. they have security personnel everywhere. they will kick you out with the quickness if you try and take something. and i'm sure being that it's the last game ever, they'll have even more security..

After reading 5 or 6 skeptics in a row I instantly thought about trying to do it myself. One sided trade, 400% profit.

Checked the ebay linked above and it says the winning bid for the four tickets were $1,580. What am I a missing here?

There is probably about $100,000,000 worth of tickets at that game.

^ How do you think they are going to pay for all that pitching they are going to buy next season?
