I should have bought up some cheap tickets. It's amazing what happened for tomorrow night's game. On Tuesday, I pointed out that tickets on Stubhub were going for extremely cheap.But with Derek Jeter on the verge of breaking Lou Gerhig's Yankees hits record, prices have now gone through the roof. As you can see from the screenshot on the right (may need to click on it to see the prices), the lowest prices on tickets that are not up for auction on Stubhub are now going to cost you ~$150 a ticket after fees. This is the perfect storm for sellers: a big record that has a foreseeable fall and a day off to get people excited to pony up for their hard-earned dollars to see it fall.
Some lucky people got on right as Jeter was getting close to the hits record and snapped up $40 tickets. I'll go on at 4:30 tomorrow and hope to catch some people desperate to get rid of their tickets.
But those who held on to their Baltimore Orioles tickets for September are counting the dollars right now. They can thank Derek Jeter for that one.
