    They better be waiving online convenience/service fees if they are going to make us buy online 100%. I get my tickets at the box office as much as possible to avoid those ridiculous fees.

    They will probably waive the fee, but build in the cost of the fee into the ticket plus a little extra to cover the cost of waiving the fee.

    I just attempted to buy 4 tickets at $25 each for a $100 purchase and they wanted $26 in fees on top of that. :mad:

    I thought single game tickets went on sale tomorrow.

    So maybe they keep it as a fee. Whether you pay the fee or they build it into the price, you will be paying the same. The box office was basically a coupon service to sell tickets to bargain shoppers. They aren't going to give coupons to everyone.

    I got an email from the Astros today with a pre-sale access code.

    Will be going to the game on the 23rd against the evil Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of California. Kinda excited. I'll be fully vaccinated by then too. Can't wait to see the morons at the game that want to drink or eat all game just to not wear a mask. I don't see that being heavily enforced at all, lol. It'll be a lot of fun to be at a game again. Missed it last year.

    I think it will be harder to enforce no people congregating in the concourse to eat/drink. They have to be in their seats. I know many who go to games who are never in their seats... whether its hanging out by the HR porch, or in the CF area, or simply catching the game from one of the baselines but by the concessions.

    Its so easy to watch the game from a variety of vantage points at MMP that you don't ever really need a seat. In many cases, those vantage points are better than the actual seat.

    Being a glutton and hating wearing a mask are not mutually exclusive.

    I think he's saying people who hate wearing a mask will just have a drink whether beer or water in their hand to avoid wearing it. Nothing to do with being a glutton.

    I think he's saying that some people eat/drink all game regardless of whether or not there's a mask mandate... this just gives them a further excuse to always have something at the ready.

    Have you had a meal and a couple of beers and then put a mask on?

    You learn real quick what your breath smells like.

    What age do kids need their own ticket? My son is 3 and he would probably just sit in my lap the entire time anyway

    Just say he's two when you enter the stadium as that is the age limit and tell them he will sit on your lap.
