Anyone else order LCS tickets?

willpie Sep 14 2006 02:51 PM

The wife got me one of them ticket 6-packs for my birthday, and it turns out that that made us eligible for up to 4 tickets to 1 home playoff game (DS or LCS only). I figured LCS sounded like my kind of party, so we're going to be sitting in the nosebleed seats by the 3rd base foul pole if there's a first home game of the LCS at Shea. Also: we are so tailgating in the parking lot like 6 hours before the game...

Friend of mine offered me his and I took him up on them (extra ducats is always a good thing). I got 4 for the third home game of the Division Series.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 14 2006 02:56 PM

I entered the lottery on Mets.com. Even if I win I don't know if I'll buy the tickets. I guess it depends on the day of the week that the game is played.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 14 2006 02:57 PM

Buy them Yancy. If you don't want them, someone here will (like, um, me!).

soupcan Sep 14 2006 02:57 PM

Yup, that was my thinking.

Mr. Zero Sep 14 2006 02:58 PM

Entered the lottery as well. Fingers crossed.

SOMEBODY PLEASE SELL ME A PAIR! DON'T DEPRIVE MY 9-YEAR OLD GIRL OF AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE HER METS IN THE PLAYOFFS!! IF YOU DON'T SELL ME A PAIR, I'LL KILL THIS CAT!!! this message is brought to you by the Guiltmongers of America... :(

I too had a six pack and got to pick one game. I took the first round because they were 30 bucks cheaper 45/75 and I'm in Row P way way up high....Vertigo seats...I guess I'm cheap. Gonna be a late start too...

You got me Edgy..I,m thrilled to be wrong!!!!!!!!

Mr. Zero Sep 15 2006 02:54 PM

anybody hear anything yet? today's the day they're supposed to notify winners.

Willets Point Sep 15 2006 03:04 PM

Looks like the collapse was transfered over to the Tigers.

Rotblatt Sep 15 2006 03:52 PM

]anybody hear anything yet? today's the day they're supposed to notify winners. I haven't heard anything and I haven't seen any updates to their website indicating that people should check their emails or whatever. I wonder how many people registered for tickets and if they'll announce that number . . .

Mr. Zero Sep 15 2006 03:56 PM

BTW, did those of you who registered recieve a confirmation email? I did not. Just checking.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 15 2006 03:58 PM

Me neither.

Rotblatt Sep 15 2006 04:05 PM

Nope. Which made me worried and I registered again, but never received confirmation.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 15 2006 04:23 PM

Uh oh. You let them know that you're desperate. Now they'll take advantage of you!

Jumping out of the shadows to report that I just got my email saying I can buy tickets for the NLDS. So I guess they went out.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 15 2006 04:34 PM

Me too!

Yancy Street Gang Sep 15 2006 04:44 PM

Hmmmph.

martin Sep 15 2006 07:23 PM

None for me.

None for me neither.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 16 2006 08:51 AM

I'm also a loser in the NLDS ticket sweepstakes.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 17 2006 12:08 PM

I got tix for Game 1 of the NLDS!

Yancy Street Gang Sep 17 2006 12:11 PM

What kind of seats were you able to get? My guess: Upper Deck reserved. Around section 22 or 23. Row J.

metirish Sep 17 2006 09:43 PM

I might just go and buy from the touts.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 17 2006 09:59 PM

What are the touts?

metirish Sep 17 2006 10:00 PM

Ticket touts,over here you call them scalpers.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 17 2006 10:23 PM

Ah - gotcha.

cleonjones11 Sep 17 2006 10:36 PM

I got the Sports Illustrated Box Field level 82 seats 1 and 2 by third base. Rick Reilly has seats 3 and 4 ...Everyone else in the office wanted Yankees and I hadn't asked in a while. Wright by third base.. So you all can find me there for the first round cause thats where it ends. Sold the nosebleeds I won with the six pack.

SteveJRogers Sep 17 2006 10:59 PM

Verdooch?

Are they "back row" seats? (When I was at Shea last week we moved down to Loge Reserved in the 8th inning. I think we were in row F or G and the overhang wasn't a problem. I think the view would probably be okay through row I or J.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 18 2006 09:51 AM

They're not back row, as far as I know. How far back does the Loge go at Shea?

Yancy Street Gang Sep 18 2006 09:52 AM

I'm guessing row N or O. But I think if you're row J or closer you should be okay. I used to know this stuff very well, but I've forgotten. What row are your tickets, Scarlett?

ScarletKnight41 Sep 18 2006 09:57 AM

J The line between good and bad, I guess.

Yancy Street Gang Sep 18 2006 10:20 AM

Row J should be okay I think. You probably won't see all of the sky and you may lose track of fly balls and pop ups. But you should be able to see most of the scoreboard. I know that from the back row you can't see the scoreboard at all. From that perspective, the edge of the overhang pretty much meets the top of the outfield fence. The worst thing about Shea is the existence of those back row Loge and Mezzanine seats. I wouldn't hesitate to buy Row J seats for a postseason game.

cooby Sep 18 2006 12:55 PM

Scarlet! You will be there on the day "The Sweet Assed One" pitches!

ScarletKnight41 Sep 18 2006 01:20 PM

LOL - yes, although I don't think of him quite in that way. I think of him as that poor, shy boy who has so much trouble coming out of his shell ;)

Willets Point Sep 18 2006 01:26 PM

I know Capt. Redass. I now know Thick-Legged One. Who is Sweetass? And why are all the Mets being defined by their dorsal/lower extremity regions?

ScarletKnight41 Sep 18 2006 01:28 PM

cooby likes Pedro's posterior. I'm an eye person myself.

Lundy Sep 21 2006 04:24 PM

I opened my email this morning to find I was selected in the "second chance drawing." I picked up four tickets, in section 24 of the mezzanine, for Game 1. This'll be my first playoff game I've ever gone to.

metirish Sep 21 2006 04:25 PM

Have fun Lundy....

metirish Sep 21 2006 04:27 PM

From now on I'll be calling Julio Franco "the fossil"...just so you all know who I'm talking about... SC=100

Gwreck Sep 21 2006 05:25 PM

I see a few people picked up four seats for NLDS, Game 1. I wonder if anyone would be interested in trading two of those seats to two for NLDS game 2? PM, email, etc...
