"Sex For Tickets" Phillies Fan Attends The World Series

Airdate: 11/2/2009
She's the diehard Phillies fan who made national headlines after she was accused of offering to sell her body in exchange for World Series tickets. She says it was all a misunderstanding.

INSIDE EDITION was there as 43-year-old Susan Finkelstein realized her dream of attending a World Series game at Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park.

Believe it or not, she almost didn't get in because the tickets a local radio station offered her turned out to be counterfeit!  

"Our tickets are basically worthless pieces of paper," she told INSIDE EDITION.

Bit the Phillies came to the rescue. Her husband John showed INSIDE EDITION the two tickets the team gave them.

Susan was treated like a celebrity by her fellow fans, who asked her to pose for cell phone pictures.

Her seats were in the upper deck of the right field bleachers, and Susan couldn't have been happier. Even steady rain couldn't dampen her spirits.  

The only problem? Her beloved Phillies wound up losing to the Yankees.

But the notorious fan says everything she went through for World Series tickets was worth it.  

"I don't regret anything I did because I don't feel like I did anything wrong!"

Finkelstein says she has been going to Philly games since she was 8 years old, so it was a real thrill to see them play in the World Series.
