I got six for the June 11 Bosox-Cubs game! I feel like I won the lottery.

They should have a seperate waiting room for people who want to buy expos, pirates, and rockies tickets. Popular games are for the birds.

5 more in the bleachers for STL-CHC in August! Jim Edmonds will know that he is a fancy boy.

mattbot (mattbot), Friday, 25 February 2005 18:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I've been waiting over two hours. Nothing yet.

Jeff-PTTL (Jeff), Friday, 25 February 2005 18:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Colorado in late May shouldn't be a problem, I wouldn't think.

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 25 February 2005 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I finally got in, and now it's telling me it can't find 4 seats together in the bleachers? There are no assigned seats there!!!

Jeff-PTTL (Jeff), Saturday, 26 February 2005 00:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Phew, got them. Mets and Giants tix too.

Jeff-PTTL (Jeff), Saturday, 26 February 2005 00:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Jeff-PTTL (Jeff), Saturday, 26 February 2005 00:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I can tell already that I am going to lose some friends with these tickets. If I were less of a fanboy I'd ebay them, they're going for $150 to $300 a pop last I looked.
