Upgrading to the full season seems like the way to go. Pricey but I bet he can dump most of those tickets via StubHub. I have a friend same story.

The director currently has all of that inventory hidden from us, so your guess is as good as mine. I spent my morning counting the seats in the grandstand, and I can tell you that the last row (row 14) still has a great view and it’s not nearly as steep as the Tier (where I would get scared above row M).

I just think its hard to do when they give so many options after the 81 game plan. I mean, should someone that has a 15 game plan for the last 10 years have seat priorty over someone that has had a 41 game plan for 5 years? I don't know, but those are the questions they are answering I guess. I think they are showing priority with who has been around the longest.

I think it's like sat plus 2 weekday games. our seats were also in Tier reserved mvp...we have had our tix for only like 4 years but listening to everyone, it does suck the way alot of people are being treated. We got these tix(besides going to the game) so we would have priority over people flooding the new stadium, I get we are not spending the 81 game package but I really feel like this could have been handled in a maore fair way with a little more preference with those w/ loyalty. The giants(- the psl) are handling it that way from oldest to newest...but theres no partials in there so I guess it gets mucked up with all the packages....the yankees should have shown preference to those who have been around the longest..plain and simple... we have the sat day plan(also a block of 8)…we are still waiting for our bill…they have changed the plan.

You had to watch the game with a rail blocking your view. Anyway, what the Yanks have done sucks. Dog bites man. Why did the guy want Row A behind the plate at the old ballpark?

Look at the seating plans of the old and new stadiums. The seats closest to home plate in the lower part of the tier in the new stadium are now premium seating and are at a very different price point than the rest of the tier. This wasn't the case in the old stadium. Unless ticket-holders in those areas wanted to upgrade, they were moved out of those sections. Not saying it's right, but that's what happened and that's why the pickings were slim. His seats don’t exist anymore. Look at the seating plans of the old and new stadiums.

Everyone is getting pushed out into lower plans. I don't think there is a snowball's chance in hell that any Sunday plans will even be made available to the public. Anyone see that the Home openr is already selling for 265 dollars just for a bleacher seat? Boy this all sucks, I just wanted a Sunday plan and now know the reason why they aren’t even for sale.

After repeated calls to the Yankees, I was finally informed that any plan holder as of 2008 who had purchased enough seats for even one season was entitled to purchase full-season plans ahead of all those requesting 41-game plans, regardless of seniority. (As if they wouldn't sell the seats anyway!!!) I was understandably upset and asked why they simply couldn't have simply assigned a point system, attributing 1 point for every dollar spent continuously up to the end of last year and re-assign in that order. Let's just say there was no reasonable response. And then I called my rep for the relocation and she said (quote) "What they did to do was disgraceful." And I know of at least 6 other similar B-Plan holders who have the same issue.
