single game tickets link

[wade]

O.K., here is my annual request for the link that enables you to open a bunch of windows in the virtual waiting room for single game tickets.

 

Much obliged.

I think that's it. Found it my ownself.

[wade]

Hmm. I don't think this works like it used to.

Thanks 10 minute meeting for helping me lose my spot in line.

What a surprise, the only types tickets you can get 2 of for most of the biggest games are the $140 bleacher tickets or limited view.

 

Seriously, $140 bleacher tickets? I mean holy hell. 3 years ago it was $50 at most. 5 years ago it was like 35-40. Now the prime games cost $140 for some of the worst views that you can get at a baseball game? Is listening to drunken idiots make increasingly blatant racist remarks towards Soriano worth that much to you?

 

Edit: I bought 2 of them for the Saturday Boston game lol

[SouthSideRyan]

Wait, $140 each?

[UMFan83]

Yup. At least for the Boston games.

What?

 

$78 face

12% entertainment fee would be $9.36

 

$53 shipping charge per ticket?

UMFan gets his shipped overnight in a solid gold envelope.

More like $168 after fees for the Saturday BoSox bleacher seat. Talk about false advertising. I still bought the ticket. I'm mad at myself for buying this ticket.

When I was something 12 like years old or so (~1982) I lived in Des Plaines and would take the "EL" with friends to Wrigley during the summer. We would sit in the bleachers for $10, and standing room tickets were $8 on game day. Of cource the teams sucked then and the payroll was nothing.

I jusy got through, and he's right, it is charging 140 face, before charges.

[Tracer Bullet]

Holy [expletive]

[Soul]

Wow. I did fine, but didn't look at the BoSox tix.

I'll have to check my confirmation email, but perhaps these tickets were mislabeled and were supposed to be the new bleacher box thing in RF?

 

Otherwise, I cannot believe its that much....worse yet there are idiots like me out there to purchase them to justify the pricing. Ugh. I think I'm going to sell them...trying to decide if its better to sell now before the Cubs start probably sucking, or right before the series when Red Sox fans are flooding into town trying to get their hands on a ticket.

[SouthSideRyan]

Holy [expletive], they really are $140.

[KingCubsFan]

It's their new dynamic pricing plan.

[apete6]

Holy [expletive], they really are $140.

 

And Upper Deck Box are only $59. Whoever buys those bleacher tickets is mentally challenged.

Did no one get tickets on Wednesday for the Mastercard pre-sale? I was able to get 6 and 4 for the boston series on Sat and Sun respectively, then 6 more for the White Sox game on Saturday. The extra charges is what was so expensive. Seemed to be about 12 dollars per ticket you buy.

I got 1 to the Friday game in the presale. I paid significantly less for this bleacher ticket then I did for the Saturday game today even with the extra MC charge. Were talking $58. Today the Friday,Saturday and Sunday BoSox bleachers were all 140. Looking at some of the other games, the White Sox Saturday game was the Marquee price. Didn't see the bleacher price for the July Cardinal Saturday game.

 

I'll say again I'm an idiot for paying what I did. I just really wanted to go to the game in the bleachers Shoot even Stub Hub is cheaper then what I paid.

:(

 

The only reason I clicked submit is I figured that a) I could sell the tickets and at least get my money back, b) I could con a couple of my Boston friends to fly up for the weekend and they would surely spend that much for the tickets because they are used to paying that to go to Sawx games. or c) I'm mentally challenged.

That's one way of saying it.

[Soul]

If you're willing to take a day off work, there's still great seats for that late April Cardinals series. The way our weather's been I wouldn't be surprised if it's warm & sunny those days.

 

Thinking about it.....

[J.R.]

Buy early, or ELSE.

 

Attendance was going to take a hit anyway, so it appears the experiment is underway. Scalping is going to be a thing of the past if it isn't already, and I can't blame the Cubs for taking action. The shame is that the fans get screwed along with the brokers.

I don't understand how that makes buying early better...
