2 of Newsom's Giants seats for sale

Well, normally I wouldn’t consider this much of a real estate article, but after the realization (due to the C-3 controversy) that parking spaces are appreciating at an alarming rate, this might be worth noting as well.

From today’s Chronicle, “The Port Commission approved the sale of the lifetime rights Tuesday to two seats at the Giants’ ballpark that had been used by Mayor Gavin Newsom’s office.”

“Holders of personal-seat licenses at SBC Park own the rights to buy a season’s worth of tickets. Last year, the port’s purchase of season tickets came under fire from the Board of Supervisors, which directed the cash-strapped agency to sell two of the seat licenses.”

“The port, which purchased the licenses for $6,000 each in 2000, plans to obtain fair market value for them, possibly by selling them in an online auction.”

Whatever the price, I’m sure the seats don’t suck, and you’ll be guaranteed to be next to the mayor’s other four seats.
