Council, Mayor Bicker Over Nats Tickets ... Seriously

[TZ]

Let's get this straight. You're fighting over Nationals tickets? Seriously?

It's Round 2 of Ticketgate in the District, as D.C. Council members are bickering with Mayor Adrian Fenty over the use of a suite at Nationals Park. So they can watch the worst team in baseball.

Council members believe they have the right to a season's worth of tickets to a skybox at the baseball stadium. Fenty, who already has his own suite, apparently doesn't think that's quite enough. He holds the tickets to the Council's suite, too.

So what happened on Opening Day? Council members were left out in the cold, and one even had to beg the mayor's office for tickets that he had auctioned off for charity, according to the Washington Post.
