Buy cheapest tickets you can find. Stand by Saint Arnold's bar behind left field for an inning or so. Walk down and find a seat down third base line when the ushers move.

Jesus, how poor are you? It's a freaking baseball game it costs peanuts to get mediocre seats to watch the game. I couldn't even fathom the embarrassment of having an usher ask me to leave or worse end up sitting in someone else's $20 seats.

Have you been to any games this season? Attendance has been weak. There's no reason he couldn't go find open seats after the first or second inning. Don't be such a fricking tryhard.


ETA: And too answer the OP, don't frick with the scalpers. They don't give a good deal until after the game is underway and you'll have no problem buying tickets online or at the window. Might be a little line at the box office for Sunday.

I've been to a ton of games, I know its not game 7 of the NBA finals and its not a sell out nor are the tickets expensive. Im just saying have a little self pride. If you can't afford $30-50 for some mediocre ticket, there are upper deck seats for as low as $15 on stubhub its really not that big a deal to buy a ticket and sit wherever your budget allows you to sit.

Particularly on weekends like today attendance has been pretty good definitely not "weak", but yeah unless hes with a big group should be able to find seats after an inning or two. With that said I havent been able to move around near as much as the past.

That's not possible peej bc Im a snob, I sit around on stubhub waiting for diamond club only seats to drop in price before first pitch and I only buy those. If I can't sit there I won't go. I even follow my boys on the road sometimes if Im in the same town....peej how could i possibly sneak into better seats than this? C'mon use that little old brain of yours sometime.

You seem like a blast to hang out with. BTW "lol" at you bragging about a pic of you behind home plate at fricking Marlins Park. They probably gave those seats away considering the attendance there is awful.

They didn't give them away but they are well below face value like $225 or so a night on stubhub not bad when you factor in all you can eat and drink being included along with parking.
