Let's not forget one of the real reasons they are doing this: it helps lock down avenues for the resale market to MLB-approved outlets, with the Nats and their partners taking a cut. It's a lot harder to sell a ticket on craigslist electronically for cash. But you can post them on StubHub! With higher fees!
My ticket share this year is going to be a nightmare to manage. And we really liked getting together in March, laying out all of the tickets on a table and drafting over a few beers.
