How early for bobblehead?

bnnguy · May 27, 2016

I have tix for this Sunday vs. Boston. How early do I need to be there to get one of the (special!) bobbleheads? Two hours before game time still enough, or not anymore? (especially for the most sought-after freebies?)

Usually people don't start camping out until Friday evening so you have a few hours.

??? Trying to be funny? If so pretty dumb, bud.

Tough crowd! As I said, I'm wondering if people know if its changed so far this season.

of course. We have a lot more season ticket holders and bandwagoners. Game is at 1:00, go early between 10 and 11.

edit:

actually, line up earlier, they just announced this:

Nvm, you asked that last season, fair question. Pendleton's post was still pretty damn funny though.

9 AM should do the trick. 11 is probably too late. 10 - 10:30 is cutting it close.

Don't you have an equation so he knows down to the minute or second?

Method #1 for ensuring a packed crowd at 81 home games:

Spend $150M+ on payroll and hope the 25 man roster remains competitive throughout the year.

Method #2 for ensuring a packed crowd at 81 home games:

Spend $40M in payroll on minimum wage scrubs and finish dead last, but give away 40K dolls every game that cost $5 to make AND guarantee there will be a long line up in front of the ball park hours before start time every game. That's $16M worth of dolls for a total of $56M.

It's well known Jeffrey Loria reads Bobblehead threads looking for this information.

Would most likely only work on weekend games. So cut out 66% of the home games, down to 27 bobblehead giveaways. Could do one for every player on the 25 man! Bump payroll up to $50-$60M so you can be somewhat competitive.

Step 3: Profit

That sounds like a great idea, lol.

Place would be jam packed for a Dustin McGowan bobblehead.

25 man current roster, but 600+ former players. I, for one, would not want to miss out on Dave McKay bobblehead day.

Johnny Mac bobblehead game would create lineups across the lake!

What would Junior Lake bobblehead day bring?

UKBlueJaysFan · May 27, 2016

We queued up at 9am for the Jose Reyes bobble head a couple of seasons ago. This one I'd be there at 8.

Should they retire Johnny Mac's number and put him on the level of excellence?

intrigid · May 27, 2016

I got the Edwin bobblehead in 2013 against the Yankees on a Sunday (nearly sold out crowd I think). Got there around 10:30 I believe and there were quite a few remaining. But that was 3 years ago so take it for what it's worth.

jays4life19 · May 29, 2016

Sooo i'm going to the game tomorrow and i give 0 f***s about a bobblehead. My question is if i show up like 15 mins before the game will the lines be clear and will i be able to get to my seat before first pitch? Or do i need to arrive sooner?

KingKat · May 29, 2016

I don't really understand this bobblehead. Why are Bautista, Delgado and Wells on the same one?

HERPDERP · May 29, 2016

probably celebrating Jays sluggers in club history

George Bell is hurt..

Best franchise hitters or something like that

Poor EE, never gets any credit and will probably be traded 1hr short of Wells

Statman · May 29, 2016

I got to the Skydome for the Donaldson bobblehead by 10 and my gate was already lined up to front street....didn't get one.

9 o'clock is the new 10.

jaysblue · May 29, 2016

What's the best gate to lineup at? Gate5 or 6?
