Yankees Postseason Tickets LESS Than Regular Season

This was a shock to me. From CNBC’s Darren Rovell:

CNBC has seen the final face value prices that the Yankees submitted to Major League Baseball and increases will be much smaller than the jump season ticket holders saw for home games played at the old Yankee Stadium in the 2007 postseason, the last time the Yankees were in the playoffs. In fact, some 2009 postseason seats will cost LESS than this year's regular season prices.

This is mostly due to seat licensing for suites and complex calculations that go along with that but that's good news for Yankees fans. He also said that all but one area of seats seem to be staying the same price. And the jump for the ALCS? Only 27% which is a far crazy from the bump they used to have in the old Stadium.

Will any tickets be left for non-season ticket holders? I doubt it. Maybe they'll leave off a few thousand for the public to buy, but I doubt that number will be very high. But for those who do have the opportunity to purchase and were hoping to grab some tickets for the playoffs without breaking the bank, this is certainly some good news on a Monday morning.
