Cops: Woman offered sex act for World Series tix

Some fans will do anything to get World Series tickets. Anything. A woman in Philadelphia has been charged with prostitution and other related offenses after offering to perform sexual acts in exchange for tickets to a Phillies World Series game against the Yankees, according to multiple published reports. According to police, Susan Finkelstein, 43, posted an online ad which read, "DESPERATE BLONDE NEEDS WS TIX (Philadelphia) Diehard Phillies fan--gorgeous tall buxom blonde-- in desperate need of two World Series Tickets. Price negotiable--- I'm the creative type! Maybe we can help each other!" Bensalem Township police said they made contact with the female after viewing her ad on Craigslist, according to myfoxphilly.com. The woman then allegedly solicited an undercover police officer to perform various sex acts in exchange for the tickets. Police did not say exactly what Finkelstein offered to do. The resale value of tickets are varying. Resale tickets for Wednesday's Game 1 (on FOX) in New York have dropped from about $330 to $270 for the cheapest seats, according to ticket broker Don Vaccaro, chief executive of TicketNetwork. He expects prices to drop to about $200 by game time, given the uncertain forecast. However for Game 4 in Philly, tickets were going Tuesday for $400 to well over $1,000 each on StubHub.com, an online ticket exchange site. Both teams' aces will start Game 1 as the Phillies' Cliff Lee opposes fellow lefty CC Sabathia. Sabathia went 3-0 with a 1.19 ERA and 20 strikeouts in three playoffs starts, helping him earn MVP honors in the AL Championship Series. Lee has been brilliant too, going is 2-0 with a 0.74 ERA in his first postseason. He has thrown 24 1/3 innings in three starts. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
