Taking a Cut
Major League Baseball appears to be taking a non-refundable cut of post-season tickets.
$20 "processing" fee?! What's Selig trying to do, make Ticketmaster look like a piker? I call it consumer fraud and would hope the DOJ investigates.
I can't believe it would take $20 x 50,000 seats (approximately) = $1 million to do the tickets for each post season game.
MLB must be taking it's cue from Manny Ramirez and Scott Boras. Hey you guys think you are the greediest guys in baseball, you ain't seen nothin yet check out what we are doing. We figured out how to charge for games at an exhorbitant rate and even be able to charge it for games that aren't played!
