I'm going to go ahead and call it the way I see it. There was a scam happening at Saturday's Yankees v Orioles game.
I had an empty seat next to me, and there was a couple sitting next to the empty seat. Some time during the initial innings, two men came over and one of the guys had 4 tickets in his hand.
Ironically, the tickets the men were carrying were for the group of four seats that the three of us were sitting in.
Obviously the man's tickets shouldn't have even "scanned" at the entrance since other tickets with the same barcode were already used by myself and the other couple.
It wasn't a rainy day, like Friday, when one of the ticket takers ripped the tickets (i.e. like at a movie theater) when you entered. I guess his machine was damaged with the rain and no longer worked...
At any rate, the ushers and manager did the right thing by honoring the StubHub sales and assigning the other gentlemen new seats.
If you ask me, something wasn't "right", since the other two men shouldn't have been allowed in, much less benefited with upgraded tickets behind home plate.
Who knows what really happened and if those guys are even the season ticket holders that they claimed to be...
Regardless, I'm just thankful that my situation was handled properly by Baltimore Orioles' personnel!
Incidentally, I called StubHub today to the them know about the irregularity. They're going to investigate.
If anyone has any apprehension conducting transactions with StubHub, they should relax. I've had nothing but positive experiences with the company!
Moral of the story: Always deal with ticket sellers and resellers that you trust.
THE WIRK
