I had tickets for yesterday’s rainout and won’t be attending another evening game until the 30th because of the Yankees schedule and my plans. Toying with the idea of going tonight, I first checked what was available through Ticketmaster and was turned off by the insane day of game prices. $150 for Main Level seating? [...]

What If They Made A Field Level And Nobody Sat There?
I just got back from today’s game and wanted to put this in a separate post. The attendance for the game was only 45k and it is really easy to pinpoint why: Huge numbers of empty Field Level seats. There were also a ton of Luxury Suites that seemed to be unused (the Party Boxes [...]
Pictures (And Video!) From The Second Game At Yankee Stadium
Today was the day! I picked up my $1.10 (plus $3.50 in Ticketmaster fees) hard ticket from will call for the game. I am tempted to frame this because of the ridiculous price: The will call window area was very slow, and although they have many lines inside the office everyone gets stuck on one [...]
Pictures From The First Game At Yankee Stadium
Wound up going to the game tonight after all, thanks to a friend. Here are pictures from my seat in Section 415 and beyond: And the annoying part of the games that apparently will never go away:
The Cheapest Ticket I Will Ever Purchase
The Yankees put a bunch of tickets for the Cubs exhibition games up for sale Wednesday. I don’t really know where these came from as it’s been “sold out” for a while, but that’s unimportant (it’s probably tickets they were holding back for Cubs season holders). What is important is the special prices they announced [...]
Yes, Perhaps Some of the Seats ARE Too Expensive
Hot off the AP Wire: “I think if anybody in any business had known where this economy was going to go, they would have done things differently,” Steinbrenner said Thursday. “Look, there’s no doubt small amounts of our tickets might be overpriced. “You know, we’re continuing to look into that,” he said. “But the bottom [...]
A Happy Ending For My Mid-Week Plan
After a long period of irritation, worry and freaking out over small things, I am 100% set for the 2009 baseball season at Yankee Stadium. Strangely, all it took was a simple e-mail to my ticket rep. After some communication back and forth with him about a week and a half ago, I got hooked [...]
12 Game Plan 1 – Not the Best Value
Here’s a comparison between the games in the Yankees 12 Game Plan #1 and the $5 tickets they’ve made available in the bleachers, grandstand and terrace for the 2009 season: Date Opponent $5 Game? April 20th Oakland Yes May 4th Boston No May 7th Tampa Bay Yes May 20th Baltimore Yes June 3rd Texas Yes [...]
An Easy Way To Give Your Ticket Licensees A Heart Attack
This afternoon I logged onto my Yankees account as I do often, just to dick around and I clicked on the View/Pay Invoices link just to go through and make sure my ticket hadn’t mysteriously disappeared. I seriously doubted anything had changed, but lo and behold I saw this when the screen loaded: So, I [...]
Media Folks on the Relocation Process
The media is picking up on the partial plan relocation sloppiness, with some having their own annoying experiences. Behold: Jay Jaffee, Neil deMause, The Daily News. And Lonn Trost is a dick: Is it true there are seats in the bleachers from which you can’t see parts of the field? “Yes, but we will have [...]
