NY1: World Series Tickets Won't Come Cheap on Resale Websites

NY1 reported on how costly the tickets for the World Series between the New York Mets and the Kansas City Royals are. Senator Peralta supports measures design to curb resale ticket prices. Specifically, Senator Peralta is a co-sponsor of State Senator Daniel Squadron's bill, legislation that would cap profits on resale ticket prices at 20% of their face value. 

NY1: State Senator Jose Peralta agrees. He represents the Queens district that includes Citi Field. "Currently, what's happening with these World Series Met tickets is that the average ticket sold is being sold for $1,600, and that is completely unacceptable," Peralta said.

Peralta is co-sponsoring a bill that would cap the resale value of sports tickets at 20% above their face value. "The New York Mets is the working family's team, and working families in the city of New York cannot attend a World Series game," Peralta said.
