Report: Yanks want to get rid of StubHub

By Andrew Marchand | ESPNNewYork.com


The Yankees want to get rid of StubHub because it is not "fan friendly," although $4 tickets seem much more fan friendly, to me, than $40 or $400 tickets do.

Here is the Post's story from today:

Yankee Stadium attendance is down 3.6 percent so far this year -- greater than the 3 percent drop last season -- and the team is blaming StubHub for its gate woes.

“We believe there are serious issues with the StubHub relationship,” team president Randy Levine told The Post yesterday. “We are actively reviewing more fan-friendly alternatives for next year.”

The Yanks and other teams claim tickets are priced too low on StubHub.


I don't know about you, but I've never heard a fan complain about ticket prices being "too low."

Such bullshyt.

maybe attendance is down because of the fukking economy dumb asses. Whenever the economy takes a hit so does the attendance for all sporting events. If not for stubhub their attendance probably would have dipped even more from last season.

I hate Randy Levine and Lonn Trost with a passion fukk those fakkits. They couldnt be father off from the truth maybe it's because they made a unfriendly ballpark to fans with dikkhead security guards maybe if they realized half the reason people went was for the atmosphere they wouldnt be in this predicament.
