This won't go over well with companies that pay for the suites as it introduces a huge hassle when inviting clients to ballgames.

"Hey, thanks for doing business with us! Come to a ball game at our company suite, free! We just need your finger print and a scan of your face!"


Clearly, the reason MLB attendance is dropping over most if the league is because MLB and StubHub aren't doing enough privacy suckage.

Just look at the privileges lists for the MLB Ballpark app and StubHub app on Google Play to see what I mean.
