John Oliver is holding a contest to stick it to Loon Trost, New York Yankees COO.
Trost made controversial comments during a Feb. 18 interview on WFAN, regarding the fanbase of the New York baseball team.
“The problem below market at a certain point is that if you buy a ticket in a very premium location and pay a substantial amount of money,” Trost said. “It’s not that we don’t want that fan to sell it, but that fan is sitting there having paid a substantial amount of money for a ticket and (another) fan picks it up for a buck-and-a-half and sits there, and it’s frustrating to the purchaser of the full amount.”
Oliver is selling each ticket for 25 cents. There is one caveat.
