Scoring Yankees Tickets Options

[Hartmann]

Alright, I'm looking for Yankees tickets before they tear down the stadium. I've looked on the Yankees website, StubHub, and Craigslist but still can't find any.

Ideas?

So a coworker of mine had to go to New York this week, he had the same idea you do, he wanted to go see Yankee Stadium before it closed, so he figured he'd better try to go. His plane got there kinda late, so slim chance he'd get tickets. Well here, I'll just paste his email:

The bleacher seats were sold out ($14) so I went to the main ticket booth. I was standing in line and a guy came up to me, with his wife, asking if I only needed 1 ticket. I said yes and he told me they were right behind home plate about 10 rows up and he showed me the tickets. I told him that I was from out of town and didn't want to spend much on a ticket since I wasn't really a fan of either team. I just wanted to go to Yankee stadium before it closed.

He asked me how much I wanted to spend. I told him that the Bleacher seats were sold out so the next cheapest seats were $35-40. He said what about $50? I said yes. The face value on the ticket was $250. So I sat with this guy and his wife. I made sure he went with me through the door though to make sure it was a good ticket.

I tried to go to left field to see the statues and plaques but it is only open for pregame.

and here's a pic from the seat he got for $50:
