With the way tickets are still available online through different outlets, what do you guys think are the chances I can unload a couple SRO tickets before the game tomorrow?

If you do sell tickets outside the ballpark make sure that you are standing in the Yards Lot, as long as you are not on public property you should be fine.

jikes. tickets on sale for $15. remember all the fretting about prices? those damn scalpers...

The price crash finally hit, later than I suspected and at this point prices have fallen less than I suspected. If the game on Friday is played I'll be interested to see how prices fall, currently 17% of the seats in the park are listed for sale.

They go on sale at 9:00 AM, and I'm assuming here. For some reason the "buttons" to buy are not up yet.

Trying for two more tickets to NLCS home game 1...

The low price for the game today is very fluid, lots of buyers and lots of sellers discounting their prices.

Since the Nats came to town I can't remember ever seeing the quantity of seats for sale as what is now listed for Friday. I'd expect some real bargains to be available by that afternoon.

Actually, the moment Game 4 ends with the series tied, Game 5 prices will shoot up. A deciding game 5 during prime time Friday night? Good luck getting any bargains. People should buy now.

They've added a line feature so now you know when you're at the front of the line. Less miserable when you know where you stand I bet.

I got in very quickly but after pricing out the tickets I think we'll skip it and take our chances on the secondary market because of the amount I spent yesterday on car maintenance  :'(  That way we have money for World Series tickets if they advance.

The box means nothing. I was in box 2 when it let me into the site.

Got it and out already, sitting pretty in 112 for game 1 and 114 for game 2, a pair each.  Got a pair yesterday for the final game.  Will use Stubhub for the third home game, since I need 3 for it.

BTW, just discovered this site the other evening.  'sbeen a great help in navigating this ALCS situation.  Many thanks to all.

i dont expect a huge drop for friday. a do or die game on a friday night. that should sell well. $40 might be the floor. tomorrow could still fall a bit. probably a lot of pessimism setting in.
