Daily News | Ex-employee gets 14 months in prison for stealing and reselling U.S. Open tickets worth $3.4M
from $20 for single-day, practice-round access to $2,500 for a weekly badge on sites like StubHub and eBay.
In Fryer’s case, he was approached by two local resellers — Jeremi Michael Conaway, of the West Chester-based Eagle Eye Ticketing Management, and James Bell, of Sherry’s Theater Ticket Agency in Philadelphia — who were seeking access to tickets. And while Fryer immediately confessed and agreed to cooperate with the FBI against the two other men, Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael S. Lowe said Wednesday Fryer was still ultimately the figure most responsible for the crime.
USGA officials have said they first learned of the theft when contacted by federal authorities last year and have since put in place a new ticketing platform and hired an outside auditor to help prevent similar thefts in the future.
