The fans bought pricey tickets for 25 cents in a show of defiance to the American League club
John Oliver wasnt kidding on Sunday nightsLast Week Tonightwhen he vowed to send two people who dressed like theydnever sat in a premium location beforeto the super-pricey Legends Club seats at Yankees Stadium.
Seated behind home plate for Tuesdays opening day contest between the New York Yankees and Houston Astros were two fans dressed as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Oliver slammed the Yankees on Sunday in response to the teams controversial new ticket policy and its COO essentially saying rich people couldnt bear to sit next to people who arent as rich.

There is only one thing, however, that we can all be absolutely sure of this season, and that is that the New York Yankees will continue finding ways to look like the biggest elitist aholes in all of sports, Oliver said.
The host then announced he would sell off the pricey seats on Twitter for the low cost of 25 cents.
We can only imagine what those two lucky guys in green posted on Twitter for their entry into the sweepstakes.

Some of the riffraff we saw included a slew of bare beer bellies, a gent with his underwear over his khakis, and, of course, some Boston Red Sox fans (because, lets be honest, nothings going to peeve a Yankees fan quite like a Sox fan).
With two more games to go, you still have a chance to enterLast Week Tonights contest to buy a pair of choice tickets for a whopping 25 cents.
