Yanks The Shaft

Nice:

The Yankees are getting a new stadium, but some of their most loyal fans are getting the shaft.

Hundreds of full- and partial-season ticket holders got word Friday they aren’t getting the seats — or packages — they requested in the Bombers’ new digs.

. . .

“I wanted to have seats comparable to what I had before, near the first base line. They told me I was high on the list. Then they put me in these horrible seats by the foul pole line and told me I should be grateful.”

A Brooklyn fan, who asked to remain anonymous because he’s still trying to snag season tickets, said he, too, didn’t get the seats he asked for.

“These are the real Yankee fans,” he said. “They’ll bend over backward for the big corporations, but not for regular guys like me.”

Another disappointed fan — a partial-season ticket holder — said he was prepared to shell out more dough for worse seats because he loves the Yankees and he knows a new stadium means higher prices.

“I specifically requested a weekend package because that’s what I had before and that’s when I can see the games,” he said. “They offered me a weekday package and basically said take it or leave it.”
