My friends and I call it ?trading up.? You?ve done it before. Don?t lie. ?A little late in a game. House only half full. You move down to better seats. No harm, no foul.
Unless you?re in Citi Field, where it?s a criminal trespassing beef. Via It?s Always Sunny in Detroit, we get this report from the Daily News:
Officer Eduardo Cornejo?had a legit ticket to the Mets? sad 6-3 drubbing by the Cincinnati Reds, but ballpark management confronted him once they realized he was stretched out in a seat better than the one he had purchased.
?He was in a section he wasn?t supposed to be,??Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly?said. ?They asked him to leave. He wouldn?t. [A] supervisor asked him to leave. He wouldn?t. The uniformed police sergeant asked him to leave. He wouldn?t, and he was arrested as a result.?
Technically trespassing? Sure, if they asked him to leave and he wouldn?t. And of course I could get it if he was?belligerent and they got him on a disorderly conduct. But really: calling the police on a guy for moving up seats? Why is anyone checking his tickets in the first place? According to the police report this was late in the game. On a night when the joint was officially half full, which meant by then it was probably way less than half full. Jeez, if that?s a crime I?d be in jail several times over.
And yeah, that?s ?Officer Eduardo Cornejo? as in off duty cop. At least they?re not playing favorites. ?That?s the most you can say here.
