Tickets for today
I just logged into stubhub and there are some seats on there below face value. I'm thinking about it. Just a heads up in case anyone wants to grab a last minute seat.

Re: Tickets for today
Well below face. The outfield terrace seats have a $50 face value, and lots of them are listed now at $30 to $40. Mezzanine 400 level seats have a $57 face, and I see lots of them for $25 to $40. Lots of Field Box seats for $30 to $40.

Re: Tickets for today
I certainly hope there aren't any empty seats this afternoon...

Re: Tickets for today
Have the fans given up based on yesterday's loss? Or is it the odd starting time.

Odd starting time.

Re: Tickets for today
With the 5k+ seats for sale on StubHub I'm guessing there might be a few....

Odd start time. Plus I think many people took work off yesterday to be downtown all afternoon and are unable to take off work two days in a row. My wife is unable to get off work today so I had to unload my tickets. We will be there tomorrow, though (praying it isn't a needed game!)

Re: Tickets for today
If there's a game tomorrow, there could be even more tickets. The 1:07 start time is brutal.

Re: Tickets for today
I think also the fact that these game times are not being announced until a few days before is making it very hard for fans to adjust their schedules to make these games with the afternoon start times.

Re: Tickets for today
I have 2 tickets in section 144 row W that I cannot use. If anyone is interested I can meet at the ballpark. I'd like to recoup whatever costs I can.
If you are interested, you can email me: thrilljam [at] yahoo dot com.

Re: Tickets for today
The late game time notice by MLB mixed with the odd afternoon start time for a second consecutive day is brutal to deal with. My girlfriend and I will be able to make it down there, but her job isn't as flexible as mine so we'll likely be walking in the gate in the second inning. Not to mention the parking and traffic situation downtown at that time is horrendous.
Fortunately we were able to unload our extra tickets to recoup what we paid (face value plus convenience fees).

This must be for TV ratings purposes?
