5pm and traffic are such lame ass excuses for a city of that size being unable to fill a baseball stadium. -
If I had known they would do this with the WS, I probably would have kept my SSH. My last year was 2021. Switched to the Bucks in '22 for a season. I had nearly stopped going to all the games by then; youth soccer wiped out a lot of availability that mostly limited to weekends. I also live an hour away, which made the games like 8-hour ordeals with traffic. I lost a good bit of money selling regular season games during that time. I miss being SSH, the Brewers do a wonderful job, but it just wasn't practical. If I lived in Milwaukee County I would likely still be one.

I would agree that this feels 50/50 even though I'm sure every site out there will say it's more like 75/25. Winning tonight puts me in 90/10 territory.
-
I want Miz to go tomorrow for this reason. You have to do everything you can to keep this from tying up.
-
There really isn't one, just that they might lose, the same as any other game. If I am limited to buying one game though, I want to try to make it a clinch game. That of course has the downside of never happening.
-
Monetarily it makes sense, but the whole point for me is being around all the Brewers fans.
-
I agree that getting one of these is ultimately what has to happen. But the flow feels significant too. If they have lost 2 straight, nobody is going to feel good. If they win Game 5, confidence will be high. Just sweep them, please. As bad as I want to witness a Game 6 from the park, it's not worth it.
-
Just did the same. I ended up getting 2 tickets for Game 6 through an SSH at $1377 per. Gross, but may not happen so I can live with it.
-
I am not, I did buy NLCS Game 6 and 7. My guess is that, or anyone who bought a ticket directly from the Brewers this season.
-
I did but I am not expecting much out of it. I'll take a peak, but if it's anything like what we're seeing I'm just not interested. Even if I had a choice I tend to roll the dice a bit and go for clinch games. That makes it personally easier to justify cost, and leaves open the chance you'll get it refunded. I'd probably have a sour look back on a Game 1 I spent a wad of cash on for a series we lost.

Forgot about hockey. Although a playoff power play is also just excellent TV.
-
Most everything is worse in person due to the space eaten by ads. When you see all the stopping in person, as well as what you've pointed out, most events are worse and rely on atmosphere, which I'd hope the WS would provide. Soccer is 100x better than on TV, but that's really the only one I can think of.
-
Uhhhh...weird take, but an incredibly inaccurate one. I take objection to your thesis that money spent = loyalty to team, literally equating spending money with how "diehard" someone is. I am sure there are lots of people who want to go, but are unable. Since you seem interested, trust that I am very far from that circumstance, but I wouldn't ever say someone who is, is less loyal to the team than you, me, or anyone else. You aren't offering a "different perspective." You are judging others, there's a difference.
-
I'm not sure how those two things are related. So if some guy who works at Wendy's isn't willing to put $1600 on his Chase card to see the Brewers in the terrace level, he is not a diehard fan by this logic. Lol.
-
I can't quite let myself get excited yet. That rotation is still what it is and it just doesn't feel all that difficult for them to string off 4 straight wins. At 3-0 I'd start to feel it, but 2-0 just doesn't feel like much especially with 3 on the road.
-
I am not sure you can equate diehard with how much you are willing to spend on a ticket. It is totally rational to love the Brewers and just have a line that you aren't going to pay $1600 to sit in a terrace because you don't view the in-person experience as that significant. A lot of diehards just don't like live events for any number of reasons. I guess I love the Packers, but I really wouldn't be interested in attending the Super Bowl at any price.
-
The gamedays truly just drag. I get up way too early and then the entire day is just painful.
-
The Brewers are not going to throw Woodruff in a World Series game because it makes them feel warm and fuzzy inside. If he plays, it's because they've worked him out and believe he is the best option available for that situation. I think it's very unlikely he plays, but if he does, equally unlikely he gets torched. They won't bother if he doesn't prove he's effective.
-
This would suggest MLB set these prices based on secondary market projections. If someone is going to get market value, it may as well be them, not someone who bought 4 tickets for $1600 total to sell for 4x. I'm kinda ambivalent on the whole thing. Hot ticket means big money, always has, always will. I'm unlikely to go, oh well, bigger tragedies aplenty. I'm not entitled to being in the stadium, I'm fine watching at home, going to bed after a couple Diet Cokes and waking up to rewatch the highlights...must be getting old.

Game 6 - Cowboys @ Packers - Sunday, Oct. 18th @ 7:20 PM
OldSchoolSnapper replied to CheezWizHed's topic in Other Sports
I can't find the words to explain this. The Packers have a realistic chance at 4-2, despite looking like the worst version of themselves in probably 8 or 9 years and that was because Aaron Rodgers was hurt. What's more mind-blowing is the two losses are a blowout at home to Atlanta and a game they choked away epically and absolutely should have won. I understand the wins are squeakers against the Jets and Bucs and two backup QBs. It just feels like every single week has had some asterisk on it. Just a bizarre season unfolding. I expect nothing serious from this team this year, but could Minnesota possibly have had a softer 5 games to open the season? -
Game 1 - Packers @ Vikings - Sunday, Sept. 13th @ 3:25 PM

@Sixtolezcano is this still super funny to you? -
It takes quite a while for interest to start accruing; statement has to close and then it doesn't accrue until it's past due on the next statement. I've never had that happen with these annoying ticket refunds. It's like 10 days.
-
Hard pass on $1k to sit in the terrace. Lol. I guess I'm not surprised. If I were still SSH, which I dropped a few years ago, it would be kind of annoying to know that other people just logged on the website mid October and got tickets for $250. It's a huge commitment to buy those strips, they're expensive as hell, you lose your shirt on the regular season, and you do that for years just on the chance that this might eventually happen despite feeling like it never would. When I could take my family to a resort for 5 days at the same price as one 3-hour game we might lose, I just can't justify that though. I think there's going to be another, more reasonable drop though. I could be wrong, but I don't think this is it.
-
If I'm the Brewers I start him Game 4 if the series is 2-1. Try to slam that door shut while giving him the extra day to rest for Game 7 if he's needed. If it's 3-0 don't need to start him at all until Game 6. But I don't think you can save him for Milwaukee unless it's 3-0, you need to maximize his appearances.
-
If the Brewers win the pennant, I personally will always think back to the Gary Sanchez drawn walk. If he gets one PA this playoffs, he made it a huge one.
