Plenty of good seats available for Yanks-Mets ... at a price

A year ago, it would have sounded absurd: blocks of tickets to the first Subway Series at new Yankee Stadium, available at face value on the Yankees' Web site, a mere five days in advance.
But there they were as of Monday afternoon, and plenty of them.
Feel like taking nine very, very good friends to Friday night's game against the Mets? The tickets were yours - 10 in Section 24B, Row 7 for a mere $900 apiece, plus a $23.45 "convenience charge.''
Ten in 24B also turned up at $900 per for Sunday. How about 10 in Section 28 at $525 apiece for Saturday?
All three games offered groups of 10 seats at $375 per ticket, plus $12.45 for "convenience.''
Seats at cheaper levels were more difficult to find on the Yankees' site, but as always, StubHub and other secondary outlets had plenty of availability. Still, below-face-value bargains were far fewer than for most games this season.
On StubHub, which has a partnership with the Yankees, tickets for Sunday in Section 24B, Row 6 were going for $850, plus the site's $85 fee. That made the total price almost identical to what the Yankees are charging for that section.
