opening day tickets

Forgive me if this isn't appropriate, and feel free to delete if it isn't, but I'm starting to get desperate.  I need 3-4 opening day tickets, preferably not SRO or bleacher.  Anyone have any ideas other than StubHub at this point?  I've looked on ebay, craigslist, etc, and it's just crazy expensive right now.  I haven't missed opening day in 5 years because I've gotten lucky with hookups and lotteries, but so far no such luck this year.

i went once in 1999

it really got crazy after Griffey came to town, I think that is a combination of recovering from the strike, Griffey, the last opening day in the old stadium, and the first opening day in the new stadium.

I don’t have anything to tell you, other than good luck. I got my opening day in, I’m fine with game two from now on. The parking and everything else is just a mess.

ticket prices may go down as we get closer to opening day

the economy may effect the mark up of opening day tickets. People may think twice about paying $300 for 2 seats.

i second that

last year we got ours a couple days before from craigslist.

then because it was raining we got to sit in decent seats because the wimps and those who don’t deserve OD tix left.

Get you and the family a job

slingin’ beer down at GABP. Opening day is always money and you will be guaranteed to be inside the ball park for the game.

I am serious. The job fairs start this week.

Tanzen!

so i guess you could

get hired, go to opening day, take in non-uniform clothes with you, go to the bathroom, change said clothes, and pretend to hold a standing room only ticket.

It wouldn't be hard

but there would be a few sessions of (paid) training involved before. Do you know at what temperature hot dogs must be maintained to be in compliance with the FDA?

a friend of mine

Got into the Super Bowl that way. She got a job handing out programs. Had to show up at 7am, but was allowed to watch the game for free once everyone was inside.

Have you tried the power packs yet?

I mean, its not a cheap option, but that’s how I get my OD seats.

And then you have 9 more games of love to spread around. Luckily, most of the games in this year’s package are in the first half of the season, so the Reds should still be in it for most of the games.

Going to games in September when the Reds are buried becomes…less…fun.

Says you

I love going to a Pirates game in September. Parking is plentiful, the ballpark is easy to navigate, and lines to everything you want are much shorter. And when I yell at a player they actually hear me. :)

Yeah, but that's in Pittsburgh.

I meant in Cincy. :)

(If you’ve never been to a game in PNC, you’ve gotta make the drive…well worth it)
