We'll get this out of the way right from the start - the Yankees ticket office isn't even close to putting 2010 Yankees tickets on sale to the general public. Every year around this time, non-season ticket holders start getting anxious for tickets and we receive emails asking if we know anything about the public sale date. Unfortunately, we don't, but we can help you score some of the best value seats in the stadium - Audi Yankees Club all-inclusive tickets - before the public on-sale.
Waiting for us in our inbox yesterday morning was a gem of an email from Goldstar.com, offering Audi Yankees Club tickets for the discounted price of $100. There are only select dates, and the price is still pretty high, but we can vouch for this being a good deal. For $100, you get seats in a climate-controlled restaurant (great for the cold days in April) with decent views and an all-you-can-eat gourmet buffet. The Audi Yankees Club is membership only, so you can't just walk in. Even if you do somehow score a day pass, you'll have to pay $65 for the buffet, plus pay for your ticket into the stadium.
This deal definitely isn't for everyone. If you aren't a big eater, you aren't as likely to get a great deal out of the buffet, which typically costs $65. If you don't like being removed from the typical stadium atmosphere, you won't enjoy the fishbowl that is the Audi Yankees Club.
But for some, this is a good deal. The couple of times we visited the Audi Yankees Club, we cleaned up on the high-priced options (lobster, filet mignon), and it is nice to have the option of being protected from the elements. Plus, we ran into Lonn Trost eating his dinner at the Audi Yankees Club on one of our visits. If the COO of the team is eating there, it must be good.
