CPF Meeting(s) Discussion Thread 5/31/08

[Guest Kong76]

Seems there are a bunch who can make it both days. Maybe we should vote
until Thurs 9:00 pm so we know what's going on?

I vote for the 16th, but will show up if the 8th wins.

Don't forget to order your May tickets this Sunday.

Last call.

If not, see ya at Citi in 2009 ...

[Guest themetfairy]

I can make the 16th, so that's my vote.

[Guest AG/DC]

I vote for the dirty thirty-first.

[Guest sharpie]

16th is better than the 8th for me but not sure about either.

The game on the 31st sounds good. It would be nice if there were a contingent sitting together instead of us all getting separate seats. I would be in on a groupsit if that is possible.

[Gwreck]

Groupsit logistics are tough. And require a financial commitment from somebody, and then getting paid back. Figured it was too difficult to arrange that.

I am in for the 16th at the ESPN Zone as well.

[Guest sharpie]

Without some groupsit not sure I would make it to the 31st. Unless Lenny makes it to the game with me and that's no lead-pipe cinch (16-year-olds often have other priorities than spending a day with dad) then I'd be on my own and while that isn't not-fun, it isn't as-fun.

[Guest themetfairy]

I'm in for the Zone on the 16th.

[Guest Kong76]

I know Edgy doesn't like to answer direct questions (sorry to pick on you on
your birthday) but he's in for the dirty thirty-first which I take to be the 5/31
game then that's one or two tickets right there. Sharpie and Edge know each other,
reach out and get some tickets together.

I have a single ticket already, but if there's interest in getting a small block I might
do that instead but we need communication before Sunday 3/9 at 9 am.

[Farmer Ted]

16th not a go.

[Guest themetfairy]

D-Dad can join us on the 16th.

[Vic Sage]

i think i'm in. have to clear it with mrs. sage.

[Guest Kong76]

I got my days messed up, I have single Sun games not 5/31.

[stevejrogers]

Put me down for maybe on both.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

If we aren't able to buy a block of tickets for everyone, which I know is a big headache for the person coordinating the tickets, can we at least designate a particular section for everyone to purchase their tickets in? I'm 90% sure that I'll be coming up for the game. Unfortunately, it is the weekend before final exames for my daughter, so my wife and daughter are out. My son may be able to accompany me, but we're really not really sure about his schedule at this point.

My present plan is to purchase two tickets in hopes that my son can accompany me. If he can't, then I hope to convince one of my buddies (none of whom are really baseball fans) to go with me for a free weekend in NYC with tailgating and a game. I really don't want to travel close to 500 miles to atend the game by myself.

[Guest holychicken]

I'm in for both of those dates.

[seawolf17]

Out for the Zone, but still in for May 31.

[Guest Kong76]

I'm assuming from the list change that Edge and Sharpie made arrangements?
Rockin, I'll get you two tickets with KB and I on Sunday morning if that works
for you. LMK via PM or email.

[Guest AG/DC]

I havne't made arrangements yet. I'll swing something this week.

[Guest Kong76]

If Edgy and Sharpie want me to include them in a strip lmk how many to get
and I'll get them Sunday morning all together.

That would be about my limit for getting group seating money-wise.

[seawolf17]

Kase, what level seats are you buying? I can front you money for our seats if you'd like.

Is this a Bronze game? Value game? Silver game? I have no idea of the pricing levels, and I can't seem to find them on the site.

[Guest Kong76]

Best available. My guess is they'll be in Mezz reserved in the outfield.

I email your yoohoo account.

The 31st is a "Silver" game. $35 Mezz Reserved/Upper Box. $20 Upper Reserved.

[Willets Point]

You can put down as Out for March 16.

I'm also up for a Braves game in September.

[Guest Mendoza Line]

I haven't been posting much lately, but I'm up for the pre-game tailgate on May 31. Not free for the 3/16 ST game at ESPN Zone, unfortunately.

[Farmer Ted]

Single game tix go on sale at 9 am on Sunday. My Firefox will be fully loaded.

Anyone planning to see the Mets in Pittsburgh this year?

[Guest Edgy DC]

You can lock me in for a ticket. The missus-to-be is checking out her schedule so she's on the fence.

[Guest Kong76]

Thus far, a half hour of trying to get 10 together anywhere but like row
eighteen of the upper reserve has been futile.

I'll keep trying every ten minutes until around 11 as tickets are looked at
and released otherwise we'll be sitting in the clouds.

[Farmer Ted]

I'm in the upper boxes, right field.

Tried to get a big block of 8 but found 3 together for me and my peeps.

[Guest Kong76]

I gave up around 11:10 on getting anything lower and got sec 8 wayyyy up.
What I find frustrating is what they consider best available might not be what
I'm willing to settle for up in the red seats. I'd much rather sit in row B way
out in the outfield but whatever. They sell from the middle out to keep from
opening all the concessions if at all possible is what I think although this should
be a heavily ticketed game.

Anyway, the company will be good.
