Yankees Season-Ticket Holders Could Lose Seats For All-Star Game

Some Premium Yankees Season-Ticket Holders Could Lose Seats For This Year's All-Star Game

Yankees season-ticket holders with "the best, most expensive seats might lose them for this year's [MLB] All-Star Game," which will be held at Yankee Stadium on July 15, as the league plans to hold "about 17,000 seats for its business partners," according to Danielle Sessa of BLOOMBERG NEWS. Fans paying up to $275 per game for field-box season tickets "may be relocated to different locations ... even upstairs in seats that usually sell for as little as $20" for the event. MLB Exec VP/Business Tim Brosnan said that "the 'custom and practice' at All-Star games is for full season-ticket holders to be 'accommodated with a choice of seats,' without being guaranteed their usual spot." Yankees COO Lonn Trost: "We have nothing to do with the All-Star Game. MLB controls it all. It's their game, it's their money" (BLOOMBERG NEWS, 1/7).
