OMG - Tampa Bay Devil Rays tix START at $15???

[KitchenWitch]

Not to cast aspersions on Devil Rays fans, but that seems a bit steep for a team that would be more competitive down at AAA.

[GOPisEvil]

1. AND you have to watch baseball indoors, which is a crime against nature.

No offense as I know you are a Twins fan. :P

[KitchenWitch]

2. Hey, I don't like the Metrodome.

I used to go to games at the old Metropolitan Stadium.

I guess the Twins are going to get a new ball park around 2010.

[GOPisEvil]

3. Good for you, and the Twins!

May their first season in the new park be as good as the Cardinals' last year. This year, though... x(

[KitchenWitch]

4. My sympathies to you.

two active pitchers in five years. Are your guys cursed?

[GOPisEvil]

7. I know....

...I sure hope not. Both occurred during series with the Cubs, too. :scared:

[flvegan]

5. I don't think they have "fans" but obligate livesports watchers

That comes someone sitting on his fat patoot IN Tampa.

[KitchenWitch]

6. I see!

I am watching the Twins versus the Devil Rays right now. I can't get the Minnesota feed, so I have all the D-Rays commercials, etc. There are like 5 people in the stands.

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. I'd be surprised

if I could get any seat in any MLB yard for as little as $15 anymore. :shrug:

Well, wait. You can get a nosebleed at Dodger Stadium for as little as $4. But that yard was paid off years ago.

[KitchenWitch]

9. The Twins have nosebleeds for $7

Family section (no beer sold or consumed) for $12

And some pretty decent seats for $19-20 depending upon where they are.

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. So, them 15-buck Debbil Ways seats

Where they at?

[KitchenWitch]

14. Not sure.

I am getting the D-Ray feed on my Direct TV. So no Dick N Bert for tonight.

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. Their site says $8 for nosebleeds

for non-premium games.

No click-for-view, though. x(

10. The Disastros have cheap seats.

I bought some behind home plate in 'Stop Calling It Enron FIeld', way up top, for $13.00.

[KitchenWitch]

12. Cheap but good!

:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

15. Yep!

My seats are in Section 416.

[KitchenWitch]

16. SWEEEEET!

:)

[GOPisEvil]

18. You can get seats as cheap as $7 there.

Of course you have to watch the Astros. But, hey, they're the closest MLB team, edging out the Rangers. In fact, I'm seeing the Rangers play the Astros. The things I'll do to see some MLB. :P

[KitchenWitch]

20. I know what you mean.

My husband is getting tickets for me to see the Twins at Angels for one of the two times the Twins are in Anaheim this year (not sure if we are getting the weekday series or the weekend series).

[GOPisEvil]

21. I'd like to see the Cardinals play in Houston, but dare I wear my Cards hat?

:D

Now I want to just buy Cardinals tickets and go see the new park. I also thought about Mariners tickets for one of my many trips that way, but no dice...no home games that match my trips. x(

[KitchenWitch]

22. My husband has been to the Cards new park

He was there on business last September. He said it was awesome.

[GOPisEvil]

23. Much better than the old park.

When they finally put in grass and made the old Busch baseball only, that helped a lot, but the new place looks like a REAL ballpark.

[KitchenWitch]

24. I want to visit all of the parks at least once.

I have been to the Metrodome (obviously)
Met Stadium (where the Twins used to play)
Wrigley Field
Dodger Stadium
Angel Stadium

We are planning a trip down to San Diego to watch the dads this summer.

[GOPisEvil]

25. I'd LOVE to do that, too.

I've been to:
Old Busch
Arlington (the new version)
Enron/Minute Maid
The Astrodome
The Murph in San Diego
RFK

[KitchenWitch]

28. You are ahead of me!

[CatholicEdHead]

26. So far I have only been at the Dome

But I expect to take in a game at Miller Park later this season.

[KitchenWitch]

27. You missed getting to go to the old Met?

Great ball park. Really a damn shame it got torn down.

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. I'm surprised

the Asstros don't pay people to come to the park.

:P

[GOPisEvil]

17. I think even Roger Clemens might turn down their money.

:P

[rockymountaindem]

36. Toronto Blue Jays upper ring for $9, two bucks on Tuesday

However, I've got to say they're actually good seats. If you get a place in the first eight rows of the upper deck right over the plate, you're better off there than 25 rows up in the first deck on a baseline, IMHO. When the dome's open, Rogers Centre (formerly Skydome) isn't a bad place to watch a game. The fans are kinda loopy though.

[pstokely]

29. Fans of the oposing teams can get deals on Royals tickets

and it's outdoors

[Initech]

30. You think that's bad, the cheapest Angels tickets are $25

Before they won the series in '02, you could get really cheap, great seats. Now the great seats run between $45 - $50.

[KitchenWitch]

34. Not true - our seats last night were $12 - we got them for $11 as part of a group

We were View level on the right field side - one of the last sections before the drop off for the bleachers.

[Initech]

38. Oh, I'm used to season tickets. Mine are on the club level.

[GalleryGod]

31. Now THAT is a smart Bidness move!

A night in the "Crashed UFO"...oooo whoopee ! :argh:

[Beer Snob-50]

32. everyone has it easy compared to fenway park tix

sro tix are 25 dollars. i have been to a few other parks across the country and for the same cost, i have had some great seats (best was at oriole park. for, at the time 17 dollars, i got an obstructed view seat. the obstuction? a railing of about 2 inches)

[camero]

33. Upper Deck is $8

Just went to a game last night. The one you probably looked at was for "prime" games (Yanks, Red Sox,etc). They charge more to see the real good teams.

Nice gimmick to get fans in eh? :wtf:

[KitchenWitch]

35. Actually it was a television ad!

I am in California, but we have the MLB extra innings package, and I was watching your Devil Rays dismantle my Twins when I saw the ad, we were getting the Devil Rays feed that night.

[SoxFan]

37. Yet the Rays lead a team...

...from the Bronx! Funny how that works!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

39. They should be free. Or, even better,

the management should pay YOU for going to see them play. :P

[ScreamingMeemie]

40. The Tigers (Comerica) have seats (well standing room) as low as $5

We sit in the Pepsi bleachers (which are seats with backs in right field behind Wannab's beloved Magglio) for $10. They were $8 last year, but it's still worth it. We sit right at the wall.

[Blue_Tires]

41. yeah, that's a scam...

[MissMillie]

42. that's a great price for a ticket that includes a chair to sit in

lowest tix in Boston are $25, and that's for standing admission
