NorthSideSox72 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 19, 2012 -> 12:17 PM) 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. Sort of. For season ticket holders, the money goes to the 2013 deposit for that year's plan. So they do indeed get a long float on that money from their season ticket holders, both for their regular seats/tickets, and all these pre-sales. And if you don't buy the post-season seats, in advance, you lose your slot for 2013 and would have to start all over in terms of seniority and seat location.

tonyho7476 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 19, 2012 -> 11:25 AM) 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. Each scenario is possible...being a wildcard, or getting homefield. They are not possible, together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think you lose your seats for 2013 if yo udo nto buy playoff but i could be wrong. Anyway I just went back in and 3 lower deck reserved seats section 109. $840, covers next year's seven game plan already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, not only do all the paperwork we got scream that, when you purchase the tickets online (pre-sale, or just the regular seats post-season bill), you have to seperately check a box warning you that this is the case.

ewokpelts Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 QUOTE (SnB @ Sep 19, 2012 -> 10:02 AM) Sure looks like there's a ton of presales for everyone to gobble up the tix before the general public. I'm already expecting to pay a bit of a premium for the tix on stubhub anyway. Stubhub has uppers in the 60's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Unless the Sox make up 5 games to the Yankees and Orioles, the ALDS "Game 3" tickets are pointless, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I wonder if there will be anything left at all when the public sale starts at noon. I'm guessing they have a set number of tickets that were held back for that and not available for any of the presales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 yankees are up on sale if you have a mastercard. I was thinking Reds. If the Reds advance far enough to where they are selling WS tickets and you have access to pre-sale codes, I'd try to get tickets. I'd be interested in seeing them play in the WS, even if the Sox don't make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year, the team WITHOUT home field advantage plays the first two games at home, so the Sox are much more likely to be home for 1 and 2 than 3 and 4. Also, the tickets are good for the first two home games of the series, even if they do happen to be games 3 and 4. We're all just calling them games 1 and 2 because that's what they're most likely to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about if Detroit wins the division, I get that part. It looks like games 1 and 2 will be played in Yankee Stadium or Camden Yards by the standings and under 2 weeks to go. Not this year. ALDS home game 3 is the one not likely to be used. "For the 2012 Postseason only, the five-game Division Series will begin with two home games for lower seeds, followed by up to three home games for higher seeds. This one-year change, which eliminates a travel day prior to a decisive Game Five of the Division Series, was necessary because the 2012 regular season schedule was established before the agreement on the new Postseason format was reached. Next year, the Division Series will return to the 2-2-1 format used in previous years." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I think it's completely f***ed to give the team with the best record 2 games on the road to start a 5 game series to decide their fate after winning more games than their opponent over 162.

Paint it Black Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Anybody get so lucky to get tickets through general sale? I got UD at $45 a pop. Don't have anyone to go with me yet... Nothing left on ticketbastard for game 1. I could still get 2 OF seats for game 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
