Going to the game...

Friend of mine got tix through work. They are supposed to be so he can schmooze clients, but he took me instead. And I love him for it.

I actually like to watch at home too. The bathrooms are less crowded and the beer is way cheaper. I'd feel different if I was a short subway ride away though.

Number 3. Does not compute.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I don't know... it makes sense to me. I can understand not wanting to see the Mets lose while surrounded by cheering fans.

[Edgy MD]

Then go to see a win!

[Gwreck]

I haven't been following the secondary market prices for the Cubs* but if the Mets were in a position to win the pennant, I could give a crap who the other fans in the ballpark are.


*I realize it my just be way too much money to pay for the tickets.

The danger for the visiting fan at Wrigley is a swirlie in the trough.

"Insanely" is probably the more accurate adjective.

Even if bought on the secondary market before Game 4 of the NLDS and resold 3 days later you would have doubled your money.

for game 2 I randomly found them on mets.com/tickets one afternoon. for game 1 and potentially 7 I managed to click into the7line presale on time.

Paging Transmonk:

Expect a big price drop in the secondary market for tomorrow's game at Wrigley. Cheapest seat is down to $160...

Trying to imagine what this is but it doesn't sound good

This is 99.9% a randomly generated 7 digit password, but it didn't stop me trying to guess various 'Wilpon' guesses.

You ahsk for a miracle, I give you the F. B. I.

[HahnSolo]

Got mine from a friend with a connection to the team. He had the opportunity to purchase a block of playoff tix and sold them to me at face value.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Any 7 Line passwords lying around, you guys?

I'll be at Game 5 with The 7 Line. SO FRIGGING EXCITED. Surprised myself when I got in.

[Edgy MD]

So, one of you Game Three attendees is going dressed as Karl Ehrhardt and bringing a "BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?" sign, right? Right?

[Guest cooby classic]

WHat a great Halloween costume idea!

I will try my best to get there and park and still have time!

[Guest El Segundo Escupidor]

Serious question -- is there somewhere in the stadium I can buy gin?

[Guest themetfairy]

Yes. Definitely in the Caesar's Club and other clubs.
