Cuomo’s ticket office

-

GOV. ANDREW Cuomo tipped his hand as to how he thinks — and doesn’t think — as far back as the 2015 MetsRoyals World Series.

Cuomo somehow came into possession of a bunch of Mets home game Series tickets, face value $125 each. He then made them available to “supporters,” jacking them to as much as $5,500 each, money ostensibly donated to his campaign chest, with the sweetener that purchasers have a meetand-greet with Cuomo.

He engaged in what’s commonly known as ticket scalping, the barely legal political kind. Constituen­ts who would’ve loved those tickets at face value? To hell with them. His arrogant self-entitlemen­t came first.

Perhaps expecting some heat if it became public, he eventually returned the tickets to the Mets.

➤ Who are MLB’s best customers? Drunks. Same as the NHL, NBA and NFL. A recent survey concluded that the on-site MLB fans who purchase the most alcohol are, in order, patrons of the White Sox, Braves, Reds, Indians and Padres. Once in the park, they spend an average of $35-$40 on booze per customer.

➤ The ex-Nets TV team of Ian Eagle and Jim Spanarkel will reunite during CBS/Turner NCAA Tournament coverage. Still stunning that YES dumped Spanarkel.

➤ Yes, we know the game has changed; they all have. After 25 games, 7-foot-3 Mavericks shooting guard Kristaps Porzingis has taken 131 3-point shots, but has compiled just 41 offensive rebounds.

➤ I’m already sick of those Capital One NCAA Tournament commercial­s and I haven’t yet seen one.
