Watch parties at Nats Park for away games (+ other watch party info)

[bluestreak]

Near the ballpark, I know Salt Line and Bullpen check IDs. Mission checks IDs late at night, but you might be able to get in early. Someone else can chime in.

Nearby restaurants include Big Stick, Willie's, El Bebe, and Gordon Biersch. None check IDs to my knowledge.

I would try BlueJacket.

Any Richmond or suburban Richmond spots that should have good atmospheres for these games?

[blue911]

thanks.  Guessing the only other options are to just hang out in a bar/restaurant near the park.   Any recommendations?

Check out Penny Lane Pub, I'd assume they'll have the game on their TVs.

Double check this: you have to click on the tiny green box surrounding the "T" for ticket. I thought for sure they were sold out yesterday (based on the red color), but they were not.

It's also possible I will have two extra for Wednesday. Assuming any of my tickets arrive in my ballpark app.

There are tickets available for Game 1, but not for Game 2 - the message is "Thank you for your interest in attending the World Series Watch Parties. The ticket system currently indicates that no seats are available for this event."  I was looking for 3 to take the wife and one of my kids.  Will check again tomorrow.

Yeah, it's a bad system.
Red is sold out but that only applies if the little box is Red.
The big rectangle area around the little box is Red which makes it look sold out but if the little box is green/brown then it is still available.
Only when the little box becomes red is it actually sold out.

At least the ballpark is now set up so that people can come down and still take in the atmosphere, like with the Caps last year

Both watch parties sold out

Did they only open up the lower/club level for this?  I would be shocked if the entire stadium (with a view of the big screen, over 30,000?) would be sold out.

I'll bet they will. I'll also bet people got extra tickets because tickets apparently don't get put in the ballpark app until the day of the event. So I have four. I need two.  I requested two new tickets because I didn't understand.

They only open the third base sideline. I really hope they consider adding some of the first baseline seating. I know they can't just open the door due to hospitality and public safety staffing needs, but even a bit more space would be nice.

yeah, and maybe charging $5 next time around too, simply because I imagine a lot of folks who claimed tickets won't show up.

Yes, and the app was messing up last night. Tickets were not showing up even with a confirmation email. Had I been going through website I would have likely reordered out of caution.

I think the rain will dissuade alot of people from going tonight.

Agreed. A light cover charge would have been tolerable.

Now, parking. The parking apps aren't showing crap.

Assuming there is enough parking. I guess I'll wing it.

My tickets showed up. You only have to know to look in our wallet.
