Lonn Trost has a message from certain Yankees fans: Some people just don’t belong!
In trying to defend the team’s new home ticket policy — which is the Yankees’ latest salvo in its war with Stubhub — the Bombers’ COO ended up sounding like an out-of-touch elitist on Thursday.
“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,” Trost said on WFAN Thursday morning. “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.
