Open Thread - Did You Get Your Tigers Tickets?

by Ian Casselberry on Mar 1, 2008 7:57 AM EST in News Comment 2 comments

With individual game tickets going on sale this morning at 10 a.m., I thought I'd post an Open Thread for people to commiserate and share our experiences. It's like we're all in line together at Comerica Park, rockin' our wristbands!

Did you get the seats for the games you wanted? Were there any games that you were hoping for (Yankees and Red Sox, for example), only to find out no more tickets were available?

Did you have a hard time getting through to the Tigers ticket office, via either the phone or internet?

I'm a bit worried that I'll be detained around the 10 a.m. hour and won't have a chance to call or log on for tickets. Am I going to be frozen out this season? Will brokers like StubHub or (ahem) any of the other vendors advertising on the BYB sidebar be my only option after this morning?

Will the Detroit Tigers sell out the 2008 season today?

Your 2008 Detroit Tigers schedule can be found here. The Tigers Ticket Information Center is here, and information about single game tickets is also available.

Good luck to all of you. We're all counting on you.

The pains of growing up...

What a long strange trip....ugh. I remember me and my friend driving up to Comerica on a whim, buying a 14 dollar ticket and then sitting about 8 rows from the field....how our times have changed. Luckily the special ladies mother works for a law firm and I am able to get pretty much any game that I want, but it definetly isn't the same when the team isn't doing as well. I guess it is a good problem, but still a pain.

Tickets

Things started off very poorly for the wife and I trying to get tickets. So poorly, in fact, that we said f--- it, let's get a 15-game package.

That looked like it was going to work at first as we got through the first step, but then we got bogged down when we tried to pick a section.

So we went back to the single game tickets and scooped up tickets to four games - all of which are pretty good seats. I think getting the four different games took about two or three hours, and the game you chose seemed to make a huge difference in the wait.

Once we gave up looking for Friday games and games against the most desirable teams, the availability - still not easy - seemed much higher.
