They were pissed because at first he was not going to fill the seats. He had 500 of his friends and family he was going to scatter around the entire section and that was going to be it. That would have looked bad for the Dodgers so they threatened to let people in there for free if he was not going to fill a certian % of the seats - thats why he started to sell the seats.
One of the articles also said the Dodgers would never let this happen again.
I am sure it also has something to do with profit for them. When they sell bulk seats like that they go for a discount - I think it said somewhere he got the seats for like $3 or so each. And when you consider if the stands would be full (they would be if it was not for this guy - end of season, the top two temas fighting for playoff spots) they would make BANK in food and souvineer (sp?) sales as well - plus selling the seats for face and not bulk discount.
