LA Times: Dodgers offering big discounts on tickets (RR)

The Dodgers expect to sell up to 10,000 heavily discounted tickets for their seven-game homestand that starts tonight but don’t think that will lead to the unruly fan behavior that marred their “$2 Tuesdays” promotion in 2005.

Under the latest promotion, offered by Dodgers.com to Travelzoo.com members, $16 reserved seats cost $3, $20 lower reserved seats $6, $28 infield reserved $9 and $50 field box seats $18.
...
Steve Shiffman, the Dodgers’ vice president of ticket sales, said the method of distributing tickets wouldn’t attract the kind of fans who misbehaved and prompted the cancellation of the once-popular promotion that included $2 right-field pavilion seats on Tuesday nights.

Because this promotion is Internet-based, Shiffman said, “You’re targeting an affluent crowd, a computerized crowd.”

If he thinks that just because a person knows how to use the Internet, he/she will be well-behaved, well, that guy doesn’t get around the Internet much, does he?  :P
