It's Almost Time, Do You Know Where Your Pinstripe Marketplace Is?

The latest on Pinstripe Marketplace via The Post -

With Opening Day just two weeks away, the Yankees have failed to set up a promised Internet site where season-ticket holders can resell seats to games they can't attend.

Not only are the Yankees the only major New York sports franchise without such a service, but the organization won't say whether it will continue punishing season-ticket holders caught reselling their seats.

Last year, the Bombers told more than 100 such fans that the team would not sell them playoff tickets or season tickets for 2007 because of alleged resale violations.

"We are still reviewing those issues," the Yankee's chief operating officer, Lonn Trost, said in a statement.

Season-ticket holders are steamed that the Yankees are reneging on the promise, outlined in a December 2005 letter that began "Dear Valued Fan."

"The Red Sox do it. The Mets do it. The Indians do it," said season ticket-holder Bill Holzmann.

"I just can't think there are more capable people in Cleveland than there are in New York.

More capable? Maybe, maybe not, Bill. But, ones that care more about their season ticket holders? Yeah, for sure.

Is it me or does it seem that the Yankees go out of their way to be fan unfriendly?
