    they are not even trying to hide it anymore

    I'm not sure if this is common practice, but I read an article detailing the fact the Yankees got permission from the MLB to go ahead and sell tickets to the World Series. I know that I've heard of events like the Super Bowl selling tickets via a lottery, but I have never heard of a team already selling tickets for an event before the were done playing another series-the information was released before game 4 last night. Am I missing something here, or does this smell of corruption?

      I hear ya, I know teams sell lottery tickets, but I think these tickets were for everyone, and I do not think refunds were availble..

        If they don't include refunds, something is up, but I'm assuming they have to.

              every single team does this. it is common practice, and has been going on for YEARS.

              so yes, you are missing something.


              and what is so corrupt about this??? and of course they give a refund.

                It's a "Common practice" and it's also Axiomatic..........
