Free Yanks tix for those who braved the rain against the Orioles

Nice offer by the Yankees, for those who went to last nights 7-4 victory in favor of the Bronx bombers. Aside from getting to see a win, you can also get a free ticket to an upcoming game of your choice in the Terrace of Grandstand.

Not a bad deal considering it didn't look like it was raining that hard, and the game was never once delayed. But a part of me wonders if this was set up on purpose. Looking at the Yankees press release, it says you can either get a free ticket OR get 50% off non suite ticket. The Yankees are practically out of Grandstand seats for the remainder of the year, the Terrace likely has limited inventory. But the more expensive seats are available and you can now get them 50% off so your still giving the Yankees your money instead of Stubhub.

If you were able to get any of the free tickets, let me know cause I'm curious to hear.

Yankees Raise 2011 ticket prices

The cheapest non obstructed seat at Yankee Stadium will now be $15. With the poor economy, many teams are cutting ticket prices but the Yankees are not. Today it was announced that the Yankees will increase six categories, including the bleachers, main level and field level. It was first reported on the LoHud blog here , but then Lonn Trost confirmed it on Mike'D up. Trost claimed that the reason the Yankees increased the prices is because they studied the secondary market and realized many of the seats were being sold for an increase. The entire Trost interview can be heard here.  The Yankees have already changed the prices on the its website seating chart.

I will say that I still plan to renew my seats, and will actually attempt to upgrade my seats to a weekend plan. But it stinks that the Yanks have upped the bleacher seats, although the price is still fair and a great deal. I am befuddled as to why the Yanks would ever increase the seats on the lower level, as it is already the seats are empty and I don't care that Trost attempts to tell me that the seats have been sold, I don't believe that. I do believe that many fans do walk around and get out of their seats.

I will continue to follow the situation throughout the off season, and update my site as soon as any other ticket news it out.

Still looking for Yankees Postseason tickets ? Keep checking Ticketmaster & Stubhub for a bargain.

The Yankees have clinched a playoff birth and although with the way this team is playing, they may not have the same magical run as last season, you never know what will happen in October. This past week the Yanks released a few tickets to the general public for the ALDS and ALCS. Not many Yankees fans walked away with tickets, but a few were to be had in the Terreace and Field Levels.

So yesterday I was bored and happened to check if the Yankees had released any tickets, well sure enough they have for most of the ALDS and ALCS games. For the most part the tickets were wheelchair accessible, standing room only, cafe seating and even a few field level and main level seats for under $150. Not a bad deal to see a playoff game. The only issue that may come along is that for ALDS game 1 and 2 you can ONLY get print at home tickets, not hard tickets.

If you are someone who doesn't want to stand or is looking for a deal, keep checking Stubhub. So many people this year purchased ticket plans banking on losing a few bucks during the regular season but purchasing Postseason tickets and making a profit. Well as long as you have some knowledge of economics you would know that excess supply equals lower price if the demand is not their. Already prices for the ALDS are much cheaper then they were last season. If the weather is bad on the day of the game you may even be able to find tickets for below face.

If you already have your tickets as the Yankees race for # 28 then your all set. But many fans (who actually want to go to the game and not resell) do not have tickets, so keep checking Ticketmaster which is known to release tickets closer to the event and Stubhub for a chance to experience October baseball in the Bronx.
