Final Four Tickets

I bought tix in the upper deck for Baltimore, and moved down to the lower deck (and into the shade) for the second game. There were plenty of empty seats.

I wanted to to do the same thing here, but those tix apparently weren't on sale yet.

The $38 tickets become $49.50 tickets once you tack on the damn charges. We have seats in 101, which is the corner of the lower bowl.

We've now got 'em surrounded: sections 101, 111, and 125.

I'm holding out to get tix through Cornell. That's odd that it's $100 for just two days with fees through Ticketmaster and the tix through Cornell are $98 for three days with all fees.

Damn, with all these fees they're charging, I think I'll drive down there tomorrow and buy directly from the box office. Even if gas were still $4/gal, I'd come out way ahead.

If I'd known you were going to do that, I wouldn't have bought through Ticketshafter. I'd have asked you to buy a set of tix for me.::doh::

Sorry. I didn't know myself. I thought a buddy was going to be getting tix for us, as he did last year. But he's away Saturday, so he's opted out. So after reading all these posts about the surcharges, I got to thinking it makes sense to go there in-person. Hopefully, they won't have some weird charges they add regardless.

You mean like charging you to park your car so you can buy tickets in person. I'm hoping that the ticket office folks won't wait till tomorrow at 5 to figure out that they have less applications for tickets by today at 5 then they do supply.

Speaking of parking, parking in official Gillette stadium lots is supposed to be FREE for the duration of the weekend from 8 a.m. to 2 hours after the end of the last game each day. This is not a bad deal now that I have the Cornell package for tickets for all three days.

You know I was kidding, yes?

Looks like the Cornell ticket office section is section 134 which seem to be great seats. Looks like Athletics 'sold' about 500 tickets.

dbilmes · May 22, 2009, 07:12:09 PM

According to the NY Times blog, about 42,000 tickets have been sold, but with good weather forecast, they expect a good walk-up sale on Saturday.

Sucks, doesn't it, that driving there is the more economical choice (BTW, Tom, parking was free)? Had we been another month or so into the season, I'd have cycled down and back - double benefit. Sadly, I'm a bit behind on my training this year.
