New York, NY, August 13, 2026 —
Concessions workers at the Brooklyn Cyclones’ stadium in Coney Island have reported discrepancies in their tip earnings, alleging that tips have been missing from their paychecks. The issue appears to have begun after Diamond Baseball Holdings assumed control of concessions management at the start of the 2026 season.
Interviews with several employees, along with pay stubs obtained by The City Reporter, detail concerns over the absence of tip income. Many of these workers are young adults who rely on their earnings, including tips, to manage living expenses. The lack of expected tip payments is reportedly creating financial difficulties for some staff members.
The specific timeline for when these missing tips began to be noticed by employees is linked to the change in concessions management at the beginning of the 2026 season. Diamond Baseball Holdings is the entity that took over these operations.
The contractor’s name, beyond the management company Diamond Baseball Holdings, was not provided in the available information. Furthermore, the exact amount of missing tips or the total number of employees affected has not been specified. Details regarding any formal complaints filed or responses from Diamond Baseball Holdings were not available at the time of reporting.
