maybe i was wrong, i would even admit that, but that does not excuse the thought process behind the behavior.
I went to the Met game last night. As usual, in the 8th inning, the bullpen threw the game away (literally and figuratively). So As I was sitting in the (empty) upper deck, and after a two run homer by the opposition made it a three run lead, I observed the mass exodus from my vantage point. I decided to give my son, who was with me, a different perspective of the game, and move down ONE LEVEL. We are not talking field box here, or trying to get into the dugout (maybe I could pinch hit, I couldn't do any worse than the players...) just lower altitude. So I went down to a section of about 150 seats with about 5 people in it, and sat down in the last row of the section, which was COMPLETELY EMPTY. Not a single person in the entire row of at least 30 seats.
Not a minute later, a staff member comes over and makes me leave. Tells me to go back to my seat. I mean, we are talking maybe 4,000 people left in the WHOLE STADIUM.
So not only do they suck, but their customer service sucks as well.
I can see why you would think it OK with the emptiness and end of the gameness, but really? You didn't pay for those seats and they don't need to let you sit there. There is added value in those seats in that the view is better, and though there is no extra cost to the facility, the value of the view makes them worth something, thus, based on your ticket price you have no right to them, and therefore your indignation is misplaced. It's the beginning of the season, they want to stick to the rules.
ReplyDeletewe really want to wonder why they bother. most likely it is a power trip of some sort on the part of the usher.
