(Mr. Sarinsky is a senior attorney at the Institute for Policy
Integrity at New York University School of Law.)
Want to catch a ballgame at Yankee Stadium? Tickets for Sunday's game
against the Seattle Mariners are being advertised by Ticketmaster, the
league's preferred vendor, for as low as $15.
But tickets cannot be purchased there for that price. After you select
seats and reach the payment screen, Ticketmaster notifies you of a $4.20-per-ticket "service fee," plus a $3.30 "order processing fee."
For a single ticket, the $15 advertised price is in fact $22.50 -- an
increase of 50 percent.
