MSG has "fired about a half dozen sales executives -- plus a senior executive in ticket sales and corporate hospitality -- after they were caught in a ticket reselling scandal," according to Josh Kosman of the N.Y. POST. Sources said that the execs "resold coveted tickets to Knicks and Rangers games for a profit." An MSG spokesperson in a statement said, "It was uncovered through an internal investigation that a small handful of employees were breaking company policies and, as a result, they were relieved of their responsibilities." A source said that the number of execs who were caught "was fewer than 10" out of "roughly 40 salespeople overall." One source said that Senior VP/Ticket Sales & Corporate Hospitality Adam Campbell is "among those let go," adding that he "may not have actually been scalping tickets but should have had better control of his staff." The source said that the execs who "bought seats for face value -- only to scalp them -- had access to Knicks and Rangers tickets that are not easy to come by." These are the "tickets with the lowest face value, which the teams hold often for group sales" (N.Y. POST, 1/23).
