Before we get started, I want to make very clear that this is by no means showing concern for the potential losses suffered by Major League Baseball or its owners as the result of a shortened season. Not only is that the least of my worries, but this isn’t even about face-value gate in the first place. Rather, I came across some interesting information regarding the potential impact of baseball’s coronavirus shutdown on the secondary ticket market.
According to TicketIQ, the re-sale market for MLB tickets stands to lose about $1 billion in March and April alone.
