Default Re: Is this stealing

I don't see how it's not obvious. Stealing from a company is taking a good or service for which you didn't pay. In the case of a baseball ticket you are paying for the right to watch the game from the seat marked on the ticket. If you move to a better seat then you are getting a better service than you paid for and hence it's stealing.

Things people have brought up, that it doesn't affect anything, that it's pareto improving are relevant to the issue of whether you should decide to do it but not whether or not it's stealing.
