Does anyone know when they will start selling playoff tickets? Not meaning go on Stubhub and buy a season ticket holders anticipated tickets.

 

There is no specific date, you just have to keep your eyes/ears open when it gets announced. Doing a quick Google search, in 2005 playoff tickets went on sale Sept. 15, but obviously that team was in a different position. Tigers playoff tickets actually went on sale last Thursday, so it just depends on the team.

Face values for ALDS games (per my season ticket holder info):

 

Premium lower box and lower box: $60

Club level: $60

Lower reserved and bleacher: $55

Upper level box and premium upper box: $55

Upper level reserved: $42

 

Full season holders get a discount to about $5 lower for each.

 

ALCS prices face range from $75 to $120

WS tickets range from $110 to $250

 

Special seating areas like Scouts and Jim Beam seats aren't listed, but I am sure they are very high.

My guy just went to his presale and said the upper deck tix in the nosebleeds were $180. Is that possible? Sounds like BS to me.

 

Doesn't make sense unless he talking about four tickets.

He read it wrong. However, he has to pay for 4 games when he buys. The wildcard game, and all 3 ALDS. So, its going to be a big knock on his card. He is buying...I am going.

 

So the Sox are making you buy tickets to four games even though it's impossible to host both a WC game and 3 DS games? Sounds about right.

Today is strips. You buy one seat to every wildcard and division game. These are not individual game seats.

Yup. Today is pre-sales for strips of all four, up to 8 strips. Friday is the individual game tickets, first a pre-sale, then the public sale at noon.

It's technically not impossible. It won't happen...but it could.

 

And I'm in...Section 531 for the whole first round...Yay!

It actually is impossible. If you are a Wild Card and win the WC game, you then do not have home field advantage for the Division Series and thus can only play two home games. Only way to play three home games in Division Series is to be a division winner with one of the two best records, in which case you aren't playing in the WC game.

Your money is fully refunded back to your credit card so you are not out of pocket. The Sox are covering the basis to allow everyone to have the tickets they need when they need them.

Anyone have any idea how rare or hard it is to get tickets to the general public for the playoffs? My dad's birthday is on October 5th so I thought tickets would be a nice surprise. However, I'd rather not take it in the moon from stubhub if I can avoid it, and plus I'm always at my computer at noon at work.

 

Any experiences negative or positive would help.

I've never succeeded in getting Sox or Bears playoff tickets via online general sale.

That's what I thought. Plus I just found out about the weird ALDS scheduling for 2012 only. The lower seed plays games 1 and 2 at home...which doesn't help me because my dad is going to be out of town during first two ALDS games.

 

Might just have to bite the bullet on ALCS tickets and hope they make it.
