So as I have mentioned before, the Yankees wouldn’t sell me tickets – but they did give me a pre-sale code today. Here’s a heads up for those who will be part of the general sale for single tickets.
10:00 right off the draw, I was in at 10:00.0001. Went for opening day. Tried standing room. Nothing.
10:03 Opening Day “best available” Nothing.
10:08 Saturday Cubs Exhibition. I threw back $225 tix. No thanks Yankees.
10:10 Saturday Cubs Exhibition. Nailed $1 tix! Woo-hoo! That’s $5.25 for two tix including service charge. The Yankees must have a much cheaper mailing service than the Mets.
10:16 Got grandstands for Sat 3/18!
10:18 Got grandstands for May 2. Cap Day. My “Make Your Own Package” is going well!
10:23 Got grandstands for May 5 vs Boston. “Make Your Own” going really well.
10:26 Got grandstands for May 23 vs Phils. Quite surprised at this.
10:27 Oh yeah, the Subway series. Totally forgot. (I like those on TV anyway, too many drunks at the games). Nothing for all three. Well by nothing I mean no grandstands.
Then I picked off the $5 Wednesday night tickets. Sneaking in a couple of those keeps the prices down.
Took another run at opening day and threw back a $900 ticket.
Took shots at the Red Sox weekend series. Nope.
Decided I had enough. Wound up with two tickets to 8 games, all similar ish seats way out in right. Averaged out to $20 per fanny in seat….not too shabby.
Good luck to everyone else!
April 3 at C-Field and April 4 at NYYS will be a fun weekend.
Shannon – I should have warned you that SRO tix are not on sale yet. The Yankees were dumb and didn’t gray out that option on the drop-down menu. Those tickets will be sold subsequently, possibly as day of game sales (according to my ticket rep).
