This is true, but it is also true that the team can bundle tickets to individual events together (call it a "season ticket") and sell them to people who can unbundle them and resell the tickets for individual games.

Most likely, GGG’s observation that tickets for every game are higher on the secondary market is wrong and instead his sample is skewed toward popular games, but if not, then the Sox are charging less than they could.

If only we knew someone who worked for a company with a good grasp of the data across different sports and cities and teams and seasons, someone who could speak to the antitrust implications from a pro-consumer perspective. Let's just keep a lookout in case that person comes along.

That does not sound like monopolizing behavior.

No, you're right. If you want tickets to the see New York Yankees play in New York, there are all sorts of companies you can go to who can create that sort of thing for you. The entry barriers are nonexistent.
