Costco even has Yankees tickets deals. I can’t get the photo to upload on here.

It gets even better...

Now stub hub will send you a 1099 if you sell more than $600 worth of tickets on their platform in 2022... and they will withhold payment if you don't provide them your SSN...

The BS I remember everyone (Mets, Rangers, Yanks), was, “In order to minimize contact and prevent the spread of Covid, all tickets will be paperless.” And coupled with the fact that the first two months of the season were at limited capacity, and seats were not in ticketed locations until full capacity was permitted.

teams want to track you.

they needed a good reason to get people off hard tickets, and found one.

Except if you went to the Mets box office they would sell you hard tickets.

Then why was that not done last season?

I am sure it has more to do with tracking your habits and getting meta-data from your phone than the cost of printing hard tickets... It's not that hard to load gift cards and coupons onto the Ballpark app...

My rep told me back in August probably no more hard tickets. Hal using covid as an excuse to save on the cost of printing tickets.

We don't even know if we are getting hard tickets anymore!

I might add don't know if we will get back some of the perks that disappeared last season. Upgrade seat coupons, free yearbook, other things.

I can't blame you. With all their discounting during the regular season, and the "dynamic" pricing model for the post-season, they are making it very easy just NOT to buy a plan... Why should you when:

1. You can get a ticket for half-price later.
2. You can get free food / beverage with your buy later.
3. You don't need to worry about selling what games you can't use.
4. You don't need to worry about going to a game in poor weather, not to mention waiting out a 2 hour rain delay.

Like many pro-sports teams in America... they're making a good case for you to simply stay home.

I held on to my seats mostly because of the location but I also hoped after that crap season we would see some changes. If this off-season plays out like the last few where the Yankees are crying broke, I think this will be the end of renewing for me. I’ll catch opening day on stubhub and pay a premium if the make a deep playoff run.

Lots of great Black Friday deals. Field level seats for $65 and grandstand for $25. Price includes two drinks either soft drinks, water or 12 oz domestic beers.

Starting to list game times. No more 6:35 night games.

Received my credit card refund from Yankees for postseason tickets on Friday. That was surprisingly quick.

Including the 60 buck "handling" fee
