Selig knew about 2002 Cubs ticket scam--NY Post
Phil Mushnick notes the Cubs got away with a ticket scalping scheme in 2002
- "...on (Bud) Selig's watch and with his tacit approval.
The Cubs took tickets to many of its most attractive games,
- including interleague games vs. the Yankees, and,
- without providing them for sale to the public,
delivered them to a new company, Wrigley Field Premium Ticket Services, which then scalped the tickets.
- When angry word from fans reached MLB, MLB did absolutely nothing.
In fact, given that most MLB teams now engage in some form of ticket extortion, it seems
- the Cubs' scam might have been used for inspiration.
Incidentally, the fellow who answered for the Cubs' "creative ticket marketing," was its exec. VP of business operations, a fellow named McGuire, Mark McGuire. Really."
