Game 5, Baby!

Well, if you hadn't already read it on Scripting News, I managed to buy two tickets for bleacher seats in left-field for Game 5 of the World Series. Thanks to David Honea of Farmers Insurance for not gouging me too badly. Seriously, he could have gotten quite a bit more money for these tickets, and he was very nice. This Giants fan is grateful! There's a possibility that I'll also get to Game 3, but I don't know yet whether that will happen. (Anyone have Game 4 tickets they don't need?) There have been some posts on various weblogs saying that Anaheim will sweep the series. Ahem -- not likely. If anybody's going to sweep it will be the Giants, and I'll be rooting for them all the way even though it means I won't get to Game 5. Time to eat the rally-monkey for breakfast folks! And if there is a Game 5, any home runs from Anaheim that I happen to catch are going back on the field, thank you very much, but no thanks -- you can keep 'em. Oh, and I'll bet $20 per home run that balls hit out by the Giants in anaheim will go in fans' pockets. Any takers?... No?... I didn't think so. 23:03'24    comment []

Got World Series tickets? Help a blogger out. :-)

Ok, here's the deal... A bunch of friends of mine and I are trying to score tickets to the World Series, but we're trying to get through on the phone and we're not sure it will be possible. First, we're not sure we can get through at all. I tried calling some of the tickets.com numbers and they're already busy hours ahead of when the tickets go on sale. Second, there are only 7,000 tickets available. Chances are fairly good (or bad) that we'll get through only to find that the games are all sold out. So I have an offer -- and I'm good for it. If you can find tickets, or if you have tickets that you can't or don't want to use, I'll pay a substantial amount more than the "face-value" of the ticket price to go to these games. The more tickets the better. My goal is to get me and a few friends to all three games. I don't want to be too specific about money, but let's just say that rates are negotiable. ;-) Send me email at jake@userland.com. 01:26'14    comment []
