[Question] Astros Tickets

they dont charge fees for buying at the window.

 

yup, even if its will call, you'll still be charged all of the ticketrape charges.

the MMP box office are full of it. I went on June 1st for the Clemens comeback game and the seller told me that they only have single seats left, the next day i bought 4 tixs side by side at Foleys, bastards

this is what i got when I did Will Call online:

so i was still charged for Convenience and Order Processing charges... lame

i would rather be charged for "new stadium taxes" then that crap

 

I know you can get half off if you bring a borden milk carton cap to the game. (mon-thurs)

 

That deal doesn't include alot of seats though. Anyone know which seats are the half-off seats?

 

i always get my tickets from scalpers

 

I know field boxes, and dugout seats aren't.

 

Is it even "scalping" if I always end up buying seats at a significant discount when I buy them on the streets?

If you ever want to sit field box or club level, and you don't want to pony up the $$$, just find one of these guys about 10-15 minutes before a game. Also, the more tickets you need, the more cumulative discount you'll get.

Its not illegal if its not on the stadium grounds, and they're not profiting off of it either.

 

Just buy your tickets at the box office. Don't buy online. Don't buy at Foley's. Just got to MMP and buy your tix. You won't be charged any fees.

Do they not do e-Saver anymore?

I got offers in e-mail last year almost every other week and haven't gotten any this season.

 

Rocket will start on June 22 in Houston. Then June 27 at Detroit. And Monday, July 3 at MMP. View Deck tickets are not behind home plate. View Deck is SEC 405-408 and 432-438 which are on the upper orners of the stadium.

 

i sat behind the astros dugout about the 12th row. The only thing that sucked was it was a day game and it was HOT. They had the roof open.

I bought the ticket from a scalper for more than it cost. I think 65 bucks.



I plan on going to the game on July 5th vs the Cubs. Who should be pitching?I kinda did the math, and it came to Andy Pettitte.
