The ushers...they will check for tickets.
I've never had an issue when I've moved down. Assuredly I am a small sample size, but I've done it plenty in the Busch 3, and never even drew a side-eye.
Spotted a old friend about ten rows behind the dugout, tried to get down to see him and there was no way, the ushers refused to let me through. Told them I'd be back in about ten minutes, wanted to see an old friend, no way. You would have thought I was trying to border jump.
Pathetic

Next time ask for their supervisor

You can't have someone who can barely afford a StubHub nosebleed sneaking down to the seats that the real Americans who matter sit in. Can you imagine being a season ticket holder and having to sit next to someone like that? So, it doesn't matter how it looks on TV, you don't those people moving into good people seats.
Thank you. I was once seated in what the facility deemed to be "lower bowl". I wouldn't dare call him a gentleman, but this behemoth of a brute sat behind me. He drank two (2!!) beers and shouted loudly about the home team losing to another team called the Pirates or the Seamen, I can't quite recall. At one point upon exiting the facility, he unloaded something called a "snot rocket" on the sidewalk. We're Muny people now.

How dare they not let you go where you didn't pay for :roll:

Generally speaking, because it's bad for business, as someone has already described. I am speaking, of course, about club policy. That's not to say that ushers should be allowed to admit fans to the good seats midway through the game or so at their discretion and without reprimand, provided the fans admitted know how to behave.
