I really hope they aren't that early especially the 12:30. Im going to both games and its just going to feel weird if its in the afternoon.

 

12:30 would only happen on Friday and I think the only way that would be a possibility would be if Twins sneak in.

 

Against LAA or Hous (west coast) teams they won't allow for that early of a start.

 

Against NYY they won't put such a high demand game that early.

Holy s***, I don't fly in until 1:00 on the Thursday. I sure hope game 1 isn't that early. :(

it wont be, the Thursday will only be ALDS games. Friday there will be a 12:30 game as all 4 series will play.

If they don't play the Yankees its probably the 12pm start tbh. The way I see it for Friday is:

 

Mets Dodgers get primetime slot given big TV markets.

 

If Yankees make it to ALDS they get 7pm start

 

If no Yankees, and cubs make it then Cards/Cubs get 7pm. If its Pirates/Cards then that possibly gets bumped to 3pm

 

So really its going to come down to having the KC or Jays series at the 12pm start. KC has the same timezone as Hou/Tex and they are at home so likely will be later.

They have tv's all over the place in there. You'll be able to see all the replays and everything shown on the jumbotron. It's not as good as baseline seats imo but I'd imagine the atmosphere and everything else will be great. And it's not like you'll need a telescope to see s***. You'll still see it easily. I'm a bit jealous, to be honest.

 

Also, you may catch a homerun ball.

Bandwagon fans who love heckling.

 

Sound like horrible degenerates. :)

 

LOL... We watched all the games over the last two years, so we did get on the bandwagon before now!

 

But yeah, the hecklers are the best part of coming to the games. We were at a couple of the big Yankee games and there was this anti A-ROD guy. Oh man the things he would say when A-ROD got on deck. Unspeakable things. Probably illegal things. It got to a point where these two drunken louts sitting next to us, basically garden variety "you suck!!" hecklers were just looking at this guy in awe, like "DUDE, did you really just say that??".

People gotta be careful, you can die heckling Arod.

FYI:

 

I just sold 2 of my tickets to ALDS game 2, section 505, row 7, no view of jumbotron. Got $175 US each on Stubhub.

 

I dropped my price this morning to undercut most 500 level tickets by 5 bucks and they sold within an hour

 

Thought this might be of interest to those selling

I will start accepting bids with b/o tomorrow on my field infield level tickets (well more like outfield but who gives a fawk). I'm hoping they will go from $300-$500 CDN :)
Posted
Anyone have tickets for game two? I have for game one. Flights just went up $300 too. Not sure if I'm going to make it unless I can find decent priced tickets for game two.
Posted
No, you can just post it here. How many tickets do you have and where exactly are they?

 

Section 113D, row 9, 2x tickets next to each other. I have tickets to game 1 and game 3 (if possible) for the ALDS. ALCS is undecided yet. I'll probably sell World Series tix too if we get there.

You lose 10% to Stubhub in service fees so I received $315 USD

 

Works out to 421.77 CAN right now

 

Not a bad ROI at all

I think people might be underestimating the jays in terms of media coverage come playoffs. First of all, if things stay as is and we get either the Angel, or the Yankees I think we have a very good chance of seeing the games played in the evening.

 

The jays fan base is 35 million, more than most states. We are loaded with players who hit the ever important "long ball" that TV ratings love. I'm not saying we take precedence over bigger market teams automatically, but I don't think the jays are surely to be shunned to the worse time slot.

if Jays play Hou/Tex and the other series has LA/NYY then we would be getting afternoon games.

Probably a 4pm start time... You're cutting it close!

I don't think american broadcasters make any money off Canadian viewers.

Flying in to Billy Bishop City airport at least. Phew. Very glad I booked it in to there or I'd be flipping out in the cab on the 401. :)

That's going to make all the difference. Walking distance to the stadium (once you get across on the ferry or swim of course).

Exactly. And staying at the Delta right nearby. VERY happy I booked thios trip the way I did. I was gambling a bit when I booked it all 2-3 weeks ago and it paid off. :)

Where are you coming from ?

Last Fri night at the game a fat guy in a "Carter" jersey was standing up and screaming "Long-oria" over and over 30 rows back. Just painful. EL finally acknowledged him and that made it worse. Made his day.

 

Then there is the new fan "the pitcher checking the runner at 1B" loud boo.

 

I love the new fans but that part I don't.

 

Man, at one of the Jays-Yanks games last week there was this guy a few rows behind me in centre field that was aggressively heckling Kevin Pillar for a couple of innings. Just screaming at him in the most annoying voice, saying the stupidest s***, even when Pillar was about to make a play. I finally turn around and see he was a f'n Jays fan!

 

I couldn't handle it anymore and yelled at him to shut the f*** up, and questioned why he was even at the game. That finally settled him down. I couldn't believe it though...some "fans" out there sure have issues.

They've opened the tunnel now. It makes it a lot faster...if you're carrying on, you can be in a taxi 10min after arriving at the gate.
