The controversy over a new ticket policy has gone from disconcerting to insulting.
In today's news, I wrote a bit about the Yankees' new ticket policy, which prevents fans from printing tickets at home. It's an overtly bad policy because this now forces fans to either buy through Ticketmaster, the official Yankees Ticket Exchange, or order a physical ticket from the secondary market. The initial argument was that it will prevent fraud associated with printing PDFs out wholesale, but many have hinted that this is a veiled attack against StubHub, who routinely undercuts the mandated price floors on the official ticket exchange.
