    I was just wondering .... If any of you guys won the drawing to purchase the Astros World Series Tickets and say the Astros advance.

    Would you GO - it could be a ONCE N LIFETIME experience or

    would you SELL - since they are going for $500-800 each on ebay.

    Let me see, 40 years without going to a world series... is a couple hundred bucks worth missing out on the event of a lifetime?

    I chose the option to sell the tickets, so you can sell them to me instead ;)

    We have NEVER been, you sell them and don't go, you will regret it.

    I've been to several World Series games (stupid Yankees). If you have the chance to go, YOU GO. Or perhaps you'd rather wait another 40 years for the chance? (Assuming, of course, the Astros can do it this year.)

    I wonder what the actual chances of being selected are. 1 in 3, 1 in 12, or 1 in 50? Anyone have a clue about that? As far as tickets, I'd at a minimum use 2 and sell 2, but I will probably cave in and use them all.

    Edit: btw, I'm guessing a few Clutchfans were in the same section for game 3 with the last minute ticket buy. Who was that Cardinals guy yelling MVP whenever Pujols was up?

    Can't imagine selling them. I was trying to figure out who I'd have to leave out if I got 4 tickets! Do I take my wife who doesn't like baseball? :D

    Has anyone gotten an e-mail from the Astros yet? If anyone has, please post on the board. Subsequently, if you do get an e-mail, please let the losers know so we can sit in awe of you :)
