Yankee Stadium Audi Club $65 Facility Charge (New York Yankees)

SS

This morning the Yankees emailed the below, which made me laugh because I had already scheduled the "nobody sits in the Audi club" post (below).

** CURRENT E-SAVER **

So I thought I would check it out, clicked the link and found that while the seat was now $25, there is a $65 "building facility charge."  I guess that pays for the food?   Does it?

The below doesn't format nicely but here's what you are offered.

Section Row Type Ticket Price Building Facility Charge Convenience Charge Description AUDI 1 AUDICL US $25.00 US $65.00 US $6.45
Audi Club Seating
2
PRICE LEVEL 19

The Batters Eye tickets are still $75 even with the discount ($75 to sit like 450 feet away from home), plus a $6.75 convenience charge.

I still can't move my Yankees-Red Sox tickets for tomorrow night no matter how low I put them on Stub Hub, and if that doesn't tell you something about demand....

You're terrific. They all got up at the same time to grab some chicken fingers! Right!

Please keep this up. I hope your sarcasm and lots more will reach that greedy Yankee management. Imagine deserting a perfectly good stadium, that could have been renovated and updated, to create this palace of gluttony.
