General 2016 Blue Jays discussion thread
jaysblue replied to G-Snarls's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I bet there are still so many Canadians who don't know they are being charged in USD when buying tickets on StubHub. Face value for ALCS ticket are already much higher then the ALDS, so it'll be tough to make a huge profit. Saw it happen last season, which is why I avoided buying ALCS tickets for Game 4 & 5 this season and avoided buying tickets to resell. Plus, like you said the fees StubHub hits you with to resell your tickets is pretty big as well. -

I could see the price plummeting before game time, especially if Toronto comes back down 2-0. Happened last year vs. the Royals, where ALCS tickets weren't selling for that much higher then face value on StubHub for Game 3, and they were selling below face value for Game 4 & 5. Plus, ALCS pricing is much more expensive in comparison to the ALDS. So tough to mark up a ticket that is pretty expensive as is to the average person/fan. If Game 4 & 5 are played in the afternoon, ticket prices will plummet big time. Likely will be able to get tickets for face, or even maybe a bit cheaper (if Toronto is losing). -

Afternoon game definitely had an effect. If the games started at 5PM EST here on television, they started at 2PM in LA. Plus its a huge stadium. -
Good thing I booked a room before Cleveland won Game 3 lol. The hotel I'm staying at still has availability but only suites left for like $563 CAD per night.
-
Yeah mostly for private rooms. If I was travelling solo, I'd definitely go that route. I mainly rent private rooms with AirBNB when I travel solo, since its cheaper. I'm not paying $400 per night for a room, thats ridiculous. I'm splitting the cost so it works out to $225 total for the two nights. I'd basically be paying the same thing if I were renting a private room on AirBNB. I like AirBNB though sometimes they can be as expensive or even more then hotels. And the service fee + cleaning fee (which the host charges) + taxes can sometimes be ridiculous on top of the nightly average rate. You have to do your research and see what works out to be cheaper and more practical. As well, if you plan on staying somewhere for a week, having your own apartment with a kitchen is a lot better then staying at a hotel. As for Uber & Lyft promos, tried redeeming them when in Portland and Seattle back in September, though they are only for new accounts only.
-
Those places aren't even available for those dates. Like I said, there isn't much of a selection available for this weekend.
-
There weren't many AirBNB's available in the downtown area and they were pretty much the same price as hotels (in the $200-$250 range per night) and many didn't have two beds, so if you're travelling with buddies it's kinda of tough. Unless you stay outside of the city.

Giants wanked big time.

I booked my hotel before the Tribe clinched last night because I knew stuff would get booked up quickly shortly afterwards. I'm staying at the Renaissance, which is 5 mins away from the ballpark. I'm going down with a buddy, so we're splitting the cost which isn't bad. Hotel taxes are what kills you. Total for two nights was $550, so paying $225 each. If I find anything else better beforehand, could always cancel. Not much of a selection for AirBNB's as well (probably not that big in Cleveland as it is in cities like San Fran, New York etc). Other options are staying outside the city around the airport, though you'd have to drive in for the games. If you just plan on going to the games, then that should be fine, though if you plan on going out for beers before & after the game, probably just best to stay downtown.
-
I think you're going to have to pay more then face value regardless. That's why, come up with a number you and your friends are comfortable with going over face value and then when you come across something decent on Friday, scoop them up. You can maybe wait until later that evening, though the worry is the selection might not be the greatest and that the best valued seats are all gone.

Giants are a difficult team to beat in a 7 game series. If Bumgarner is rested, they could throw him at you 2-3 times easily. Cueto has pitched well for them, and guys like Shark & Moore can pitch well at AT&T. The lineup is still pretty good (Span, Pence, Posey, Belt, Crawford). Gillaspie is having a Marco Scutaro type postseason for them. Giants would be a dangerous team, don't kid yourself.
-
If the Giants win this game, they will win Game 5 in Chicago.

Another site to use is Vivid Seats, which isn't bad. I'd recommend taking a look at how many tickets are available Thursday night and if there are still a lot, then check back Friday morning/early afternoon. Thing with waiting until 7-8PM is that the selection might not be the greatest if people start scooping up tickets earlier that day, plus then you'll be on the app or sitting in front of a computer refreshing for hours, which at the end of the day might not be worth spending all that time taking the chance to save an extra $10-20. Also, have an idea of what each price level costs face value, so when purchasing on StubHub, you know how much more you're paying for that seat. Set a number that you're comfortable with going over face value (e.g. $50-$75 more), and then if something good pops up and within the budget you set, then pick them up. Thing with StubHub is the fees will screw you over more then anything.
-
Call StubHub and ask, or maybe try and do a google/reddit search. Each ballpark is different, so sometimes there is a cutoff on Stubhub like 2-3 hrs before a game e.g. Seattle, Citi Field etc. from my experience. Also, check if they do allow scan in's from StubHub. Not every ballpark does.

Who even drives in NYC? lol.

Want to join me and Spanky for a beer?

Most of Toronto's main media outlets/personalties are pushing the PC/SJW agenda on this. I understand that some of these teams names are offensive, though I hope they make this series about baseball instead of focusing on the name of Cleveland's team.
-
There is no point in catching a foul ball because then you have to give it to a damn spoiled, privileged kid who doesn't even like baseball.
-
My advice, click on the price level instead of best available. And when you see a new one pop up, just click that one meaning likely some seats became available. I did that for Game 1 (Lower Box Front popped up randomly so I was always selecting that one, and I got in). Game 2, same thing for Field Box Middle.
-
Just got a pair in Sec 136, Row X for Game 1
-
Yeah can't believe it as well. Guess I just got lucky. Trying for Game 1, though hardly any price levels left to choose from.
-
Got a pair for Game 2, Sec 152, Row Y. Says view is limited because sitting behind a net, though I'm assuming that is the next behind the plate then.
