John Oliver, host of HBO's "Last Week Tonight", called the Yankees "the biggest elitist assholes in all of sports" after MFY COO Lonn Trost said the team would no longer accept printed tickets from StubHub, in part because he doesn't want low-class riff-raff sitting in "premium locations" alongside wealthy bigshots.
"The problem below market at a certain point is that if you buy a ticket in a very premium location and pay a substantial amount of money. It's not that we don't want that fan to sell it, but that fan is sitting there having paid a substantial amount of money for a ticket and (another) fan picks it up for a buck-and-a-half and sits there, and it's frustrating to the purchaser of the full amount.
