Apparently tired of seeing their Legend Seats empty behind home plate and both teams' dugouts, the Yankees lowered the prices of premium tickets Tuesday and will offer refunds or credits to those that have already purchased seats at the original price. This won't affect most fans who want to go to Yankees games, but those who spent more than $325 on a ticket stand a chance to get some money back or get some bonus seats from the team. Good news for folks saving up for the $2,500 seats—those are now going for only $1,250. Tickets that cost $1,000 have gone down to $650 and so on. Some $2,500 seats have not been reduced, but the team will hand out freebies to those current ticketholders. The team only played six games at its new ballpark, but the sparse crowds in visible seating areas made this action a no-brainer.
