    Satisfy all your ballpark cravings with the new All You Can Eat ticket offered during every Thursday Astros game! For just $35 you can enjoy unlimited hot dogs, popcorn, peanuts, nachos, soda and water plus catch a great Astros game! This is a great idea for families and group outings!

    Simply purchase your All You Can Eat game ticket and voucher and bring them to the Customer Service table located on the Upper Concourse adjacent to Section 434 and redeem the voucher for your All You Can Eat wristband.

    The All You Can Eat concession stand will be located outside Section 431. Fans will be allowed 4 items per person per visit at the All You Can Eat concession stand. Service at the All You Can Eat stand will run until the middle of the 7th inning.

    That's a pretty sweet deal. I wish they'd do some stuff like this for the Rockets, I'd def. be all over this. I get bored at the baseball games but maybe that's some incentive for a night out! lol

    Another weak promotion from a Houston sports team.

    Upper deck seats are normally $7. Only allowed 4 visits to the All You Can Eat stand, you'll probably only make 2 taking into account long lines and 7 innings. So make sure you get your $28 of food while you can.

    Doubt the lines will be long for a Thursday night game. But $28 in food is a lot, I agree. But with ballpark prices, it's not far off from what you might pay for a typical ballpark meal.

    2 hot dogs = about $10
    1 large drink = about $6
    french fries = about $5

    It's 4 items per visit to the concession stand not 4 visits to the concession stand per game. Otherwise they couldn't call it all you can eat. I don't know how they can stop you if you hand off your items and go back to the end of the line.

    I'm curious if you can hang out in the concourse while you stuff yourself.

    Considering everyone in that section pays 4x the amount of their ticket price for food, I can imagine a whole bunch of people hanging out in the concourse.

    This is an interesting point. Some entrepreneurs could keep going up, getting 4 hot dogs, and reselling them to other section for $3/each. And then immediately repeating.

    Thank you.

    BTW, did Sbarros ever really have all you can eat?

    I think if you got caught reselling, you would get thrown out or arrested. Plus I don't know how many people would buy food off a random fan...maybe a bag of Cracker Jack or peanuts but every other food item would have exposure to open air or be unsealed (ex. wrapped hot dog). You would have to trust the fan didn't do anything to it.

    What I meant is one buddy stands off to the side and you keep going until you think you have enough food for the time being.

    Good deal, I wonder how many visits you could squeeze out during the game though, you'd have to not even pay attention to the game, just get food for the entire time.

    I'm guessing you could buy at least 100 bucks in food.

    I like the ability of having this option. It's 100% South Texas Diet approved. Other ballparks do it as well:

    Rangers offer it for $36, but you get Club Level Seats. That's what happens when your team sucks big time and you average 27 K a game.

    http://texas.rangers.mlb.com/tex/ticketing/allyoucaneat.jsp

    Dodgers offer it, too. It ranges from $25 to $40 if purchased day of the game.

    http://losangeles.dodgers.mlb.com/la/ticketing/allyoucaneat_pavilion.jsp

    And Braves do it too, but they have three options. You can do ballpark food like ours for $30-$35 or you can upgrade and add burgers to it for $45-$50 or you can add one more upgrade for $65-$70 which all includes chicken wings, pulled pork and all you can drink beer.

    To the thread starter, I'm sure others noticed but the word "Eat" in thread title is left out, unless that was intentional :)

    It started in LA and results of it were mixed at first cuz of lines and food being too cold or too broken by the time they did get it. Its gotten a little better since then from what I've read. They have it for every game though. And there's always promo codes or discount offers floating around to get the ticket at $25 or so. I found one for $22.50

    We watched the game last night at Dodger Stadium and thought of getting the All-You-Can-Eat pavillion tickets but decided against it. Cuz we didnt want to think of getting "our money's worth", just wanted to watch the game. (And some didnt want to be around "dirty Dodger crowd"). If they had this at Angels Stadium with the nicer ballpark and people I'd definitely give it a shot there.

    saw this screen and was hoping please be what I think it is....and sure enough :D

    Only $35? I think I could eat $35 worth of Juice Box food. That's like what, 2 hot dogs and a Coke?
