Today?s special on StubHub: Tickets to a non-existent game. Good seats still available. Actually this is happening in Germany, and the game indeed exists ? but the crowd won?t. They?re calling it the Ghost Game, as German second division soccer team Hansa Rostock has sold more than 2,000 tickets to a match in which fans will not be allowed into the stadium. Hansa?s game against Dynamo Dresden will be played behind closed doors, after the German Football Federation levied a spectator ban following fan violence last month (see photo). Even so, Hansa Rostock is hoping for sellout.
Green Bay Packers fans usually experience the opposite of this: they?re allowed into the stadium, but their opponent doesn?t show up.
?In the first few days, we sold over 2,000 tickets, many more have been ordered,? Rostock?s director of sport Stefan Beinlich told football Magazine 11Freunde.
?With the sale of the tickets, we want to limit the economic damage to the club and we want to get the fans on board.?
Tickets ranging in price from five up to ?19.95 ($26) are on sale until Sunday.
And you know there?s at least one or two dopes who also paid for a parking pass.
