Yeah sure, Thursday’s playoff game between the Royals and the Houston Astros is officially sold out. But in this age of on-line ticket bazaars, fans are never without ticket options depending on what they are willing to pay.
A hundred bucks on Wednesday would get you a standing-room-only ticket through StubHub. Pony up $250, and you’d have the right to plant your Royal blue behind Thursday in section 119, a few rows behind the visitor’s dugout.
Of course, for the same money, you could buy a basic 39-inch, flat-screen TV at Best Buy and still have cash left for a cold beer and a bag of peanuts.
