Yankees Playoff Tickets Not That Pricey

From Darren Rovell:

Those expecting to hear of a price gouge for Yankees postseason tickets might be surprised.

It’s not coming.

CNBC has seen the final face value prices that the Yankees submitted to Major League Baseball and increases will be much smaller than the jump season ticket holders saw for home games played at the old Yankee Stadium in the 2007 postseason, the last time the Yankees were in the playoffs. In fact, some 2009 postseason seats will cost LESS than this year’s regular season prices.

Wow. The big bad Yankees are not raising ticket prices on most seats for the ALDS, and had to be forced by MLB to have a minimum ticket price of $50 on bleacher seats for the World Series (fingers crossed). I wonder if this story gets as much play nationally as the original Yankees ticket price stories did, or if it becomes a note at the end of a few stories in tomorrow’s dailies and then fades away as if it never happened. For some reason, I am going to go with door number 2.
