Never before has there been such a frenzied market for World Series ticket stubs — strips of paper usually relegated to scrapbooks or picture frames after the last out.
Fans in title-starved Philadelphia long for a chance to see the Phillies clinch the second championship title in team history. Within hours of the announcement that Game 5 would resume tonight, buyers and sellers began flocking to websites looking to buy or sell tickets for anywhere between $200 and $7,500.
“I was able to get out of work one day; I’m not trying to push my luck,” said Ed Pettola, who tried selling his stub for $700. When he reduced it to $600, he was flooded with calls. “I’d like to make a little penny off of it.”
