HTOWNPRIDE is the code if you follow the astros on twitter. trying to get opening night tickets in the mezzanine sections. good lord the prices high.
Prices are ridiculous. Commitment also works from their fbook page. I'm thinking about going the 2nd game or 3rd and grabbing some crawford boxes tickets.
Yeah I went ahead and bought tickets to the 2nd game vs the Indians. 1st row mezzanine tickets for 30 bucks. I remember when mezzanine was like 15 dollars. lol
Supply and Demand. Even in hopeless years, Opening Day always draws a crowd at or very near to capacity. For a lot of people it may be the only game they go to all season.
I'll wait and see if there is a good deal on Stubhub for opening night. Although I assume it'll still be high. Other games though, Stubhub is the way to go.
I'll probably just go downtown and hang at a bar, about the end of the 1st inning i'll go to the scalp tent and get something under face value
Even in the 2000s when attendance was good I don't remember playing this much for tickets on opening day. Think I'm gonna pass on opening day for this year.
yeah i cant afford those prices even though i usually go to opening day. stros need to keep us normal folks in mind instead of the rich executives if they want our money.
think i'll pull the old "buy the cheapest seat in the house and move down by the 3rd inning" while i still can.
Sections 112. The rows near the middle to top (but not the very top). Works so well. Bought season tickets this year and will miss sneaking down there.
Did this last year and moved down third base line about 15 rows up, got called out by the season ticket holder when he arrived in about the 3rd inning. He was kind of a dick about it so I moved down a row and caught a foul ball about 3 innings later, turned around tipped my cap and gave him the smuggest smile. :grin: It was a good day but Keuchel took the loss against the O's.
Just had a call from some sales company in Waco (Baylor project) of some sort. Selling 7 game and single game tickets but with out the surcharges etc. He said it's on going for a week. Going to look it up.
