Well, there's a good thing, Joe.

The Yankees are slashing the prices and they are doing it because the fans have spoken.

Yes, it's still ridiculously expensive, but if fans continue to say, "forget it, I'll just watch it on YES," then the Yanks will be forced to continue slashing.

I remember that prior to the season the Yankees defended their prices and said they wouldn't cut them down. Then April came along and they reduced the prices by nearly 50% for most of the expensive seats. Now they are doing it again for 2010?

I hear the playoff tickets are just as expensive as the regular season tickets. That's good news when you really consider the market.

I understand why the Yankees charge so much. They still drew 3 million fans despite not selling out over 70 of their games. It's OOTP strategy here: how much can you charge, not sell out, and still turn a profit?
