2011 Playoff Tickets? (Season ticket holders invoiced 8/15 for NLDS + NLCS)

[pretendastronaut]

From my 2008 experience, single seat tickets are a tougher sell, but they sell and I certainly didn't get a $143 return on them.

[RockCoCougars]

Wow. So much for trying to buy a scalped WS ticket. For that kind of cash, if the Brewers make the Series, they had better be resigning Prince.

[Paul77]

Anyone want to guess what the 2nd hand market will look like for post season tickets this year? I just went back to see what I paid for tickets in 2008, and I paid $147.50 for 2 tickets in row one, 423 (behind home plate).

[jeffy]

I'd assume prices will be all over the map, just like they were in 2008.

 

I think I paid $180 for 3 tickets in row 6 of section 322, might have been $200, but I don't think so. I do know I did not pay too much over face value and face was $55. This was for the second home game.

 

Since it's our favorite level, I'd be interested to know what the face value for club level is this year for NLDS, NLCS, and WS?

[razzzorsharp]

I know I had 8 tickets to the first game (Bush) and sold four of them (in the cheaper sections) for $500.

[Dragonbait]

Jeffy... this is from memory (so might not be accurate)

 

section 310

 

NLDS - $55 ($70 for non SSH)

NLCS - $75 ($90 for non SSH)

WS - $200

If you are looking for a decent price I think a Sunday game when football is on is your best bet. Game 2 on a Sunday against the Phillies in 2008 was much cheaper than game 1.

Bear in mind that the 'second home game' in 2008 was an "if necessary" game 4, and wasn't a sure thing until the Saturday game ended.

If the Brewers have home field advantage in a 2011 NLDS, they'll definitely play both Saturday and Sunday, as those are truly Games 1 and 2 in the series.

 

I realize that football makes a difference too, but I think the "if necessary" component - combined with the Brewers' losses in games 1 and 2 - also contributed to the relative value of that second home game.

[jeffy]

This year we are also likely to know that there will even be a game 1 much earlier than in 2008. There may be about 2 weeks available for selling tickets to both game 1 and game 2. I would guess that many season ticket holders will go to one game and sell the other...and I'd guess more are likely to choose to go Saturday and sell Sunday.

 

Another factor making Sunday cheaper might be school the next day, the time of the game will not be known (until the season ends?), so it could be a Sunday night game.

 

One more thing is that there will be more thoughts of making it to the NLCS this time, so that could hold back prices for the NLDS.

People already started listing there post season tickets at stubhub.com, fyi.

[jrodbrewcrew]

I emailed my ticket rep today and he said that 9-pack holders will receive their order form in the mail this week sometime for 1 game in the Divisional Series and 1 game in the NLCS.

[RightFieldCoder]

Reminder that the money is due today. Make sure you pay your rep. You can hand deliver the forms to the Brewers office if need be.

[LouisEly]

If anyone has any extra tickets that they plan on selling for games on 9/30, early game on 10/1 (going to UW-Nebraska that night), 10/3, or 10/4, please PM me. Willing to pay above face value/market rate. (Likely going to Packers-Broncos on 10/2.)

 

Hawing, didn't you say you had two you planned on selling...? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[cbustim]

Is there anywhere one can look to see what the timing of the games will be? Primarily, Game 1 of the NLDS. Would they open up with a day game? I really want to go to both Game 1 and WI vs Nebraska, but the Brewers get my #1 priority.

[Baldkin]

Game times won't be set until teams and home field locations are set.

[jrodbrewcrew]

Bump to the thread, but also, I ordered my tickets this morning from my 9-pack. Section 405 for Game 1 of the NLDS and 429 for Game 1 of the NLCS. Also, I got preferred parking passes for both games. Was that a good idea?

[RightFieldCoder]

Getting parking passes? Yes. Preferred over General? Your call.

 

I like General parking better, because I can fly out of the lot before anyone else. And I'm cheap. But some people like parking closer and not walking. If you did not buy any passes, you would not be allowed to park there on game day. There is no risk when buying parking. If they don't play those games, you get your money back for parking anyway (or you can automatically apply it to next year's tickets). Only the $25 one time fee for post season ticket shipping is non-refundable.

 

I was able to get two extra tix in 204 row 6. So I can take JaDerHeyski and sit in my seats, and my mom can take dad and sit a couple rows behind us. I was worried that lack of tix might cause hard feelings in the family.

[Baldkin]

I have had 15 different people, who never attended a game with me this season (Despite me asking, on multiple occasions) ask me if I had an extra playoff ticket for them (and/or their friends).

 

It astounds me, seriously.

[EinhornIsFinkle]

On the Postseason order form it says that if you do not buy advance parking passes it is unlikely that you will be able to park at Miller Park.

[Tailgat0r76]

On the Postseason order form it says that if you do not buy advance parking passes it is unlikely that you will be able to park at Miller Park.

Which I seem to remember being completely untrue in '08 (correct me if I'm wrong). As long as you were ~2 hours early you could get a spot in the lot. With that said, I got 3 parking passes for our crew just to be safe.

[Paul77]

Can you buy parking passes from the Brewers without buying tickets? i bought tickets on the secondary market, but I just thought about parking.

[Teatoe993]

Has anyone received their tickets yet? I sent my order in immediately when I got it but my account has not been charged yet except for parking. I'm hoping that nothing got overlooked.

[pretendastronaut]

They're scheduled to be mailed this week via FedEx according to the original mailing.

[Dragonbait]

We've been charged for the first two rounds... just not the WS yet... ( Think they gonna wait til after the NLDS like they did in '08)

 

Really looking forward to having the golden tickets in our hands soon....

[brwrsfan]

I remember last time I got them. It was awesome to open them, but then it became super depressing to see them when it seemed like we weren't going to make the playoffs and when we got eliminated. Still that feeling of opening it and seeing them all is pretty cool. Can't wait for them to get to my house!
