I'm a baseball fan.
When I first moved to San Francisco in 2002, the Giants were on a roll and wound up in the World Series. Thinking this might be something of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity--to see a World Series game and being able to almost walk to the stadium--my friend Scott and I tried to get tickets. The morning tickets went on sale, one of us would work the phone while the other would try online. Then we'd switch.
After a couple hours, as my memory recalls, we gave up.
Now, however, the Tampa Bay Rays are just a few wins away from the making it to the World Series--and bringing the Series to a stadium just a short drive down I-4 from where we live. Just yesterday the realization set in that I might have the opportunity to see a game.
Chances are probably better this time around, being that Tropicana Field is a fairly large stadium with few fans. Looks like sometime soon I might be hitting "Redial" to Ticketmaster again and again and again...

Man. It could happen...I remember when the Marlins won the World Series--We were living in Miami and they shut down the streets for a party in the middle of the day...No schools or govt. offices were open for 3 hours...Surreal.
It's on!!!!
The Rays are going to the series. Are you getting tix?
I checked on tickets this morning. They've got some new system for buying them, and apparently I would have needed to sign up several days ago in order to even have a shot at snagging some. Bummer. Now the cheap seats are going for $200+.
No, thanks!
Yep.
I actually went to the Rays website to reserve some...but, it was not guaranteed unless you had a deposit.
The deposit amount was more than the tickets...It was like $1000 for a $200 ticket. Crazy. Sorry, buddy. I'll dig around...
Those poor Red Sox's...sniff :(
