Bid on Reds Tickets.

by snohio on Feb 24, 2010 11:35 AM EST

Sorry if this is a shameless plug, but I am sure there are some folks out there that would be interested in some of the Reds Auction Items over at The Summit "Love Your School" auction. My kids currently go to school there, and I'd like to keep it that way. I don't get any direct money from the auctions, but the funds raised do help families that request financial aid (like mine.) And, OBC - there is even a Bat Boy/Girl for a day item for the Florence Freedom! I know you want in on that!

i was a Reds kraft kids club honorary bat boy in 1998

It was fun but I was a little disappointed we only had Green Seats. I had never sat in Blue seats before and I thought for sure being an honorary bat boy would net blue seats. My parents usually bought Red seats with the idea of either going to a few games sitting in blue seats or a lot of games sitting in red seats. I think my family went to about 10 Reds games a year in the second half of the 90s.

You couldn't just move down?

Was it crowded back then?

back in the Riverfront days

the Green level was the entry level, you actually had to go down a ramp to get to the blue seats. They had ushers guarding the ramps to the blue seats so people couldn’t upgrade themselves.

but atleast at Yankee Stadium there is a good chance somebody will be using the seats you upgrade yourself too

What is really strange is Wrigley Field. All three times I’ve gone I’ve sat in the upper deck, and all three times as I made my way towards the cheapest seat in the house, an usher has stopped me and asked to see my ticket, because you know I really want to pay field level prices for an upper deck experience. Although maybe they have a problem with the standing room only crowd trying to steal seats.

you gotta be kidding me

Have you seen the sea of empty “Legends” seats behind home plate?

And even in the old stadium…they didn’t let you move down. Even if it’s empty. I remember one game that went into extras after multiple rain delays. It was 1 in the morning, with the rain pouring down. On a weeknight. Of course everyone had gone home.

The stadium Nazis would not let people move down. There was hardly anyone left in the place. The ones that were left were upstairs, getting rained on, while the dry seats under the overhang were empty. It looked terrible on TV – like they were playing in an empty ballpark. There were actually still people there. They just weren’t allowed to come downstairs.

I’ve also had the ushers on the third deck in Scranton check my ticket. I’ve often been the only person sitting in the entire section…and they check my ticket.
