Yes it is normal. A couple teams always get the shaft every year when the DSeries get kicked off midweek. Not always 12:30pm but there are instances of a ton of games before 3:00pm during the week. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/MIN/MIN200610030.shtml B2B starts before 3pm in 2010: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/TBA/TBA201010060.shtml http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/TBA/TBA201010070.shtml http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/TBA/TBA200810020.shtml

And with all that being said, I am easily going to purchase tickets for both games on the secondary market because f*** yeah, Blue Jays baseball in October!
-
I don't think you get my point. I understand buying tickets from the Blue Jays is a crapshoot, but if I knew that I missed out because 50k other Blue Jays fans were luckier then I was, then those are the breaks. As it stands right now, I'm searching for tickets through thousands of ads for people who could care less if the Blue Jays won or lost but want to make a profit (Example A: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-tickets/city-of-toronto/blue-jays-alds-playoff-games-1-and-2-no-fees-no-taxes/1108110452?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true), or through fans who want me to pay for their tickets. It's not about ensuring I get tickets, it's about ensuring people pay a fair price and that true Blue Jay fans who can't afford $200 for a 500 level ticket aren't left in the cold. That being said, I understand the other side of the coin and people who believe in letting the market dictate the true value of a ticket and that that price is the true 'fair' price. I also understand that this is the climate we live in so I'll stop here. I totally get what you are saying, I just respectfully disagree is all.

Funny, I cringe everytime I hear that argument... yeah, it's great that a regular person looking to go to a Tuesday night game in August can get a $15.00 ticket for $10.00; it also means that same regular person has to pay 3-4 times that amount to go to a high-demand game to cover the losses on those low-demand games. I'll take the primary box office prices where the team sets the price point over the secondary market where scalpers look to abuse high-profile games anyday. The discounts people see on the secondary markets for low-demand games rarely make up for the markups people have to pay for the games they really want to see.

I was pretty incensed when the public sale happened. I understand micro-economics and I get that I had poor luck but it was very frustrating to see thousands of tickets go on sale just a few hours after the public sale ended. While I feel for the big Jays fans that are being screwed with these start times, I am enjoying the StubHub price decline as people scramble to the new market level.
-
No one should be upset at the 3:30-4:00pm game time. This has been going on for the DS for more than a decade. The 12:30pm start sucks but even then... it's not new for mid-week games... http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/MIN/MIN200610030.shtml

NVM, they are gone.
-
Another 2 500 level ones for Game 2 at 99USD up...
-
I see those. Great deal for anyone who can afford them. ~$450 bucks for the pair.
-
I saw them as well. Anything under 100 USD is getting eaten up fast.
-
Haha - Have any Toronto fans watched the MLB postseason the past decade? This has been going on for a long time. They avoid game overlaps like the plague. Anyone expecting any differently for a Canadian team hasn't been paying attention. How many ESPN Sundays has Toronto got in the past five years? The US viewership just isn't there. (And yes, I agree that a two games at once model would work and also be better)
-
Absolutely awesome for people holding out for tickets. Thanks MLB.
-
Looks like waiting may have panned out. Really appreciate the help @jaysblue, but I'm going to try and hold off for some 500 level seats for 2x the cost. May have to pay a bit more but given I was willing to go $350 for 2 last week I'm feeling a bit better...

GDT: Jays @ Orioles - Hutchison vs Wilson 12:05PM EDT
Pulk_Pull replied to Governator's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
The idea that Price cares more about a single game contributing to his Cy Young chance than resting and being fully prepared for a deep postseason run is laughable. Even if he did, why the hell would the Blue Jays care about it? Price has thrown a ton of innings. Jays are guaranteed at least a 5 game set. Get everyone ready. -
Not really. Resting our ace to be able to pitch Game 4/5 if necessary for the ALDS is more important.
-
I could see a few under value tickets pop up if Thursday's game is an odd time.
-
Going to be interesting to see where the prices go from here. I'm still holding out hope that some will come down but doubt it given the hype. It will definitely be curious once the start times are announced.
-
I full on expect to see a ton of sunglasses on with no sun in sight.
-
Toronto fans, always something to complain about. Even after the team's first pennant in 23 f***ing years. Nurse that hangover boys, regroup and refocus on the big prize. It all starts Friday for home field.
-
Haha - Get these wet blankets out of here. You work your ass off for 150+ games with a few nights off, and they took home the pennant. Let them blow off some steam and regroup for the big prize. What a great day to be a Blue Jays fan.
-
Seems like the fans and media want Marky B to hit 200 more than he does himself. Also, NJH hit all the answers on the head. Nothing should be sacrificed for this, but if the opportunity is there with no possible blow-back, then they should make every attempt to try and get him there.
-
Stubhub probably has to fork over a handful of cash to the leagues/ticketmaster for allowing them to be an official reseller of tickets. But yes, they still rake. I'm definitely willing to buy someone's 500 level tickets at 2x the cost to ensure that person goes to another game for free. I'd really like to avoid the Stubhubs and Kijiji's of the world if possible. Anyone trying to cover the cost of 500 level tickets? (I can move this request to a Buy/Sell subforum if it's made!)

Shut The f*** Up

Not going to get into my philosophy around secondary market ticket selling but today was crushing. I've had a Fan Pass for 5+ years now and always debated trading it in for a Flex Pass because of the playoff ticket priority, but I couldn't give up the best ticket deal in town. So I hoped and prayed on a whim that I would get lucky with Ticketmaster (by the way, if I see a banana, orange, boat, street sign, or pizza in the next 30 minutes I will snap)... and didn't. I'm going to look into the secondary market but not sure I can afford 3-4x the asking price for 500s. Absolutely crushing after heading to over 20+ games this season to be shut out of the playoffs through official channels. Tis the risk I chose though.

The minority that were clamouring that he is an upgrade on Revere or Pillar is eerily quiet now.
