Online Phillies' Tickets Go Red Hot
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The announced signing of pitcher Cliff Lee by the Phillies (see related story) is already generating activity on Stub Hub, the authorized online ticket reseller for Major League Baseball.
JoEllen Ferrer, a spokeswoman for Stub Hub, says the Cliff Lee deal has spiked interest among fans looking ahead -- not only to spring training, but the regular season as well.
"Phillies' tickets have been one of the top-searched terms on Stub Hub as fans are definitely looking for tickets," Ferrer told KYW Newsradio on Monday. "They're excited. You know, everybody is just excited that Cliff Lee is back."
Ferrer says there are thousands of tickets for several spring training games already posted, as well as regular season tickets. And he says it's likely to become a seller's market pretty quickly in the coming days, as fans look to bid on and snap up tickets for the chance to see a Phillies pitching lineup that some say may be the best in baseball next season.
