John Oliver may love baseball, but he hates the blatant, elitist message sent by Yankee’s owners, who provide concierge service, 5-star restaurants and a premium seating area which ensures that well-heeled fans are insulated from rubbing elbows or anything else with ordinary people. That is why John Oliver wants to take you out to the ball game! You – ordinary fan, can sit in premium seats, just behind home base! You’ll be hobnobbing with the best of ’em.
Conditions apply, you must send a photo of yourself, dressed as you would be the night of the game. You must appear as though you have never sat in any area marked ‘premium’ before – and are unlikely to again. If you make the well-heeled fans uncomfortable with your gauchery – that’s exactly where we’re headed! Do you think Kentucky Derby hats are understated? Do you feel Marti-Grass could use more feathers, beads and sequins? You could be be a winner.
For three glorious nights, the premium seats will be occupied by the elite as usual, and by the Oliver fans dressed in – not their best. Good luck, you’ll be representing us all – be tacky, loud and unique!
