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

[bfishman]

they only let the first 50 people stand behind bleacher sections 236-238. they hand out wristbands to the first 50. so get to the game early for that view.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I stood for Game 1 of the NLCS, and I got a perfect spot right behind Section 231 at game time. There's tons of other places to stand besides behind the bleachers.

Any idea what it will cost (even for cheap seats) to get into World Series Games 1 or 2?

 

By comparison, for those that didn't get tickets directly from the Brewers (ST holders), what did it cost you on the open market to get 2 seats?

 

I'm willing to wait until the last minute, but is there any chance i'd be able to get 2/500 (WS) ??

[PrinceEatMeat]

Cheapest seats on stubhub right now are $389. Not sure if they'll go up or down. If you wait until last minute maybe less.

[SconnieKid]

Thats a lot. 2 years ago I sat ON the home dugout for the last game of the season (and got $32 tix free for the following year) against the Phillies for $60/. We had a glorious meal at the Metavante Club and with the best seats in the house it cost $125 for the pair. You are telling me SRO WS tix are going to cost me $300/? Ugh. I better find some tix for Sun then...

 

Is all the parking sold out beforehand? If I go Sun and get there as gates open will I be able to get in the Preferred lot? I see passes selling on eBay for silly amounts. I went opening day and it was a tranwreck.

Major League Baseball sets WS tickets. It costs the same at Miller Park bleachers as it does for Yankee stadium bleachers.

Bummer, apparently I'm a loser.

Well thats stupid. I s'pose if they can sell them so be it.

[carniesandrubes]

A few of the passwords for the WS tickets have sold on eBay for over $300 in the last day. Seems crazy, but if you are getting the max 4 tickets, it might be cheaper to buy password & face value tickets vs. paying crazy prices for tix on the secondary market.

[SconnieKid]

I don't think those prices will hold in Milw. I am sure people are scalping from all over the country. I just don't see it. By Sun morning tix were available for ~40 for the game last week.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Yes, but I think a lot of that had to do with the fact that there was short notice that a game would even be played that day coupled with the fact that it was a football Sunday. We all know WS tickets will sell well. No doubt about it. I have a feeling that tickets will only go up in price if we clinch the NLCS.

[SconnieKid]

I'm not suggesting they won't sell. I'm saying tickets people were paying $1 for dring the regular season are not going to sell for $400. Not during the week.

[tristarscoop]

SSH price for Terrace Reserved is $150 a ticket - for the cheapest seat in the house.

 

Food for thought...

[PrinceEatMeat]

There's no doubt in my mind that the cheapest ticket to be had will be about $400 the closer it gets to the WS.

[SconnieKid]

All the games would be mid week. Maybe you guys are talking about decent seats or something. I'm talking about getting into the stadium. I bet I can get in for <$200.

 

Of course, there is some work to be done first.

[SconnieKid]

On the positive side, last night drove down the cost of tomorrow's tickets. A LOT.

[Polish Falcons]

Does anybody know how much world series tickets would cost face value up in terrace or bleachers? My friend won the lottery.

I think face value in the terrace is $175. I don't know about the bleachers. Our seats in the loge are $225.

[jeffy]

Bleachers and Bernie's Terrace are $125, Terrace Reserved is $150

More likely, should they make it, is ticket prices dropping as the game gets closer, just as has happened with every playoff game so far. Of course, there are always some "gotta buy now" folks who vastly overpay, but I think many of those who have no interest in going to the games but win the lottery and think they will easily flip the tickets for a big profit may be disappointed.

[RockCoCougars]

Wow, the bottom has fallen out of the price level for tomorrow's game. Plenty of tickets to be had at or below face value on Stubhub. Has the bandwagon finally jumped the tracks or what?

[pebadger]

I think the story in the JS makes perfect sense of the falling prices: uncertainty as to game time. I guess TV has to rule all, but it seems to me that just fixing the time at 3:05 regardless of the ALCS result would have been the way to go. The TV audience isn't going to be appreciably different regardless of the time.

[Team Canada]

It may also be that a lot of people are just waiting til Game 7.

Now that would show confidence.

There's no doubt in my mind that World Series tickets could be had for around face value, especially for Game 2.

I don't think MLB really cares about ticket prices falling. Either way they'll have a sold out stadium and a packed house (because there still won't be too many no-shows, even with the game time changing). It would have been more convenient for a lot of us if they would've set the time at 3:05, but that's the least of their concerns.
