It's completely different because there are no jacked prices at Per Se. Everybody at Per Se gets the season-ticketholders' price even though the product would be worth more on the open market. There are no inflated scalper/broker rates based on supply and demand. At the World Series, the people with the most money get the tickets. At Per Se, the tables go to those who call first, and everybody pays the same. Let me correct my statement. I should have said that it's no different than paying higher prices for a World Series game than a regular ballgame, because the level of talent and the spectacle of that particular game. It's not a May ballgame, it's a World Series game. It's not a table at a 3 star, it's a table at a 4 star, and a very valuable table at that. Also, everybody has a chance to get World Series tickets. You have to just wait on line at the right time and wait your turn, similar to calling Per Se at 10:00am or whatever time they start. Yes, there are brokers who take a certain number of tickets, but it is definetly not the majority of the seats. Also, just like any high level restaurant, if you are a VIP or have money, you can bypass that process. A question for you. If I walked into Per Se, took the reservationist or manager over and handed him a 100 (not so much if I am paying 600+ for dinner) and told them that I was calling the next day, do you think I would have an advantage over those who called and were getting 5:30 or 10:30 reservations, as far as getting prime time seating?
