Dick Allen Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Anyone looking to go to the games but unable to due to ridiculous prices on ebay and craigslist may want to head to the park tonight. If last night was any indication, getting tickets for face value and sometimes even less should be no problem. Looks like the brokers and other greedy ticketholders overplayed their hands. FWIW, if you do go and scalp a ticket or 2 I would suggest you stay away from people hawking the ticketfast tickets which are easily duplicated.

LosMediasBlancas Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 WOW, I saw some decent deals, but nothing at, or below face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 UD corner for $125.00. http://www.goldcoasttickets.com/LiveTicket...?EventID=405861 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sox1422 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 (edited) I met up with 2 of my buddies and they got 2 seats right behind the dish (132 row 22) for face value. This was about 10 minutes before the game started. Â If you would have waited until the game began, you could have go into the stadium for $20-$30, easily.

Greg Hibbard Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I may just go down before the game and see if I can score some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Going tonight is probably your best bet. After last night's loss, I'm hoping the series comes back to Chicago. Tickets to games 6 and 7 will not come cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Hibbard Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I have tickets to both game 6 and 7, so I'm kind of hoping for a long series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan562004 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 It may be a little more tonight. From what I heard all the tickets were available because NY Yankee big money fans have trolls in most cities who snarf up tickets. Since it was so last minute that the Yankees didn't make it they got stuck with tickets and less than 24 hours to dump them. Â Now that they had more time the deals may not be there again, however with the loss last night it might keep some bandwagoners away and the prices down.

Â Do you need to bring a sign saying "Need a Single Ticket".. or is it best just to stand around and ask? I might decide to drive on over there, park along the Red Line, and take the train in.. depending on when I get out of work. If I can't get in, it'll take over an hour to get back home, and I don't wanna miss the first 5 innings. Can't make up my mind! :banghead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice would be to ask someone who already bought some what they paid, so you know the going rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask them for a single and what their price is. If they have them, never pay their first offer, and undercut it by a chunk to see what they come back with. If you don't like the price walkaway from them. The longer you are willing to wait, the more the prices will come down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it doesn't matter who you ask. Wait til after the 1st pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Tons of availability. Prices were coming down towards face even an hour and a half before first pitch. It was so bad that many scalpers wouldn't quote you a price, they were asking what you were willing to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
