2008 Yankees season tix

[79CamaroDiva]

Me and Steve are getting the 20 game packs of season tickets, he wants to know if anyone else wants to go in with us. Tickets have only been on sale for season ticket holders for 2 days and a lot of the games are already sold out, individual games aren't even on sale yet.

If we can get a few people together we can work out something like 10 games each or whatever and save on ticket prices.

Yea, basically we can pick any 20 games we want. It's $240 per seat for 20 games, so that's half off each seat, plus we get games before individual games go on sale. Just for season tickets alone a lot of games are already sold out, so I want to have them ordered within the next three hours or so. What I used to do with friends is say 20 friends wanted tickets but didn't want all 20 games, we'd get 10 seats for 20 games and let people pick which ones they wanted, so they'd be buying 10 games for $120. Not bad at all. If anyone is interested, let me know by about 1 or 2am which is when I'll be ordering them. I'd wait another day or so, but the games are going real fast and there are a few I really don't want to miss out on.

[SteveR]

Also, if some of you guys only want to do like 4 or 5 games, that's cool too, if we can get three or four people that want to do that, I'll get an extra seat.

It's the last year of Yankee Stadium, so this is it!

i'd take a pair of seats to 10 games (or 5 if someone else shows major interest)

need to know though, how do you pick the games? because i would need pretty much all tues or weds night games and would like at least one to be against the rangers (i know im wierd, the girlfriend is the yankee fan)

and if i read your post correct 2 seats for 10 games would be 240 right?

[SteveR]

yup, 2 seats for 10 games would be 240. I have the schedule in front of me and they play Texas Monday June 30 - Wednesday July 2, so you can do that Tuesday and Wednesday and pick 8 more games. If you want 2 seats for 10 games, I'll get two more seats and I'll need to find people for those seats for the other 10 games. As it stands right now, the games I'm definitely picking are;

April 2- Wednesday- Blue Jays (second home game of the season, Opening Day is already sold out)
April 16- Wednesday- Red Sox (first Yanks/Sox game of the season)
April 29/30 May 1- Tuesday-Thursday- Tigers (not sure which game, but it'll be one of them)
May 16 or 17- Friday or Saturday- Mets
July 4- Friday- Fourth of July- Red Sox
August 2- Saturday- Old Timers Day- Angels
August 26/27/28- Tuesday-Thursday- Red Sox (not sure which day)
The final home games are 10 in a row starting on Friday September 12 against the Devil Rays, then Monday-Thursday against the White Sox, then the final weekend against the Orioles from the 19-21. I'll at least be getting Saturday the 20th, try for the 21st, and maybe a game against the White Sox and one against the Rays.

That leaves at least 10 games open for whenever, including the ones against Texas.

They play Boston those three times so you can get all three if you want. Even if you don't want to go to all three Sox games, you can sell the tickets for one of them and make more than what you'll spend on all the other games. I'll be getting a few for the last several home games like I listed above so you can get any or all of those if you want. As for weekday evenings, there are a lot to choose from, including the Texas games, Tigers, Twins, Padres, White Sox, Red Sox, Blue Jays, Indians, and Orioles. As for paying, just give it to Melissa the next time you see her as I'll be putting them on my card soon.

here is the final verdict...she wants one red sox game, one of the last weekend, rangers and the rest can be filled with any teams on either tuesdays or wednesdays and one interleague weekend day game...either mets or reds

cool, Im getting all the Sox games so you can pick which one. Ill be getting the Mets ones anyway and maybe the Reds too so you can basically pick whatever you want. As for weekday tues/weds games, Im getting the Tigers, Padres, Texas, Twins, and White Sox at the very least so you'll have a lot to choose from.
