Friday's public sale came and went, and by all accounts, 2010 Opening Day tickets were pretty hard to come by. Sure, there were some success stories, but look no further than recent ticket sales on Stubhub as proof that supply can't keep up with demand:
But have no fear, Yankees fans - there is hope. If you take a look at the Stubhub or Fansnap ticket availability maps, you'll notice that sections 405, 407b, 407a, 433 and 434a return zero tickets for sale. What are the odds that seats have been sold in those sections and not a single person put them up on Stubhub? Close to zero.
The only conclusion to draw is that the Yankees are holding tickets to slowly release as Opening Day draws closer. Maybe they'll even sell some tickets to walk-ups on April 13. It makes a lot of sense to hold a batch of reasonably priced tickets until Ring Day is officially announced (we've nearly 100% sure that the Yankees 2010 ring day will coincide with opening day).
When reached for comment, a Yankees ticket representative said "opening day seats have already been opened up to the general public. Whatever is available for opening day is what is left or sold through Stubhub."
Speculation aside, our analysis shows that there are face value 2010 Yankees Opening Day tickets that haven't yet been sold. The fun (and tedious) part is keeping an eye on Ticketmaster to snatch them up when they're released.
