Get em? Get shut out? Lets hear some tales...
My bother and I went with a friend and got standing room only, barely. It got a little cold but it wasn't too bad.
A bunch. We were literally the last people to get tickets. I actually felt bad for the guy directly behind us. We got there about 1:45ish he got there about 45 minutes later so probably around 2:30 everyone else started really pouring in around 4am.
Oh I get that...so you tell a certain amount "look, youll be close depending on how many people buy and/or how many people give up and leave...". But at some level you should be able to say "wait if you want, but its very unlikely."
Also curious how many people bought em...then turned right around to try and scalp em.
It was hard to do a count anyway until around 8...Too many tents. I did a count of tents when we got there and then hoped they averaged around 4 people per tent, and came out pretty close....There wasn't many people that bought less than four. What the people towards the end were thinking though I have no idea. If you got there after 5:30 or so it was really obvious you weren't making it.
I don't know what the limit is, but I can promise you that if I had the chance to buy them for face value, I would have bought as many as possible and re-sold the ones I wasn't going to use. I imagine most people do exactly that, and if they don't, I have to ask why not?
i was thinking of getting there at 4 am - glad I didn't do it.
Bring on 2018! #%?*!
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
What's so uncool about it? The people who bought the tickets off him may not have been able to camp out for them, so for a few extra bucks he provided those people a service. In the end, a Reds fan gets to attend opening day and the person who sold him the tickets has a few extra bucks to get a seat instead of having to stand. Everybody wins.
