and bought tickets outside of the stadium? They have to be dirt cheap right? Stubhub wants almost face value for fieldbox seats for tonights game. F that.

You should find tickets. I know when I had extra tickets from work or a vendor I just gave them to people no charge. Probably plenty out there now.

I'm going to Minute Maid on Friday to watch my Brewers. It would be better to just get tickets over there, right?

Definitely. I went to a Cubs game last month and got tickets right behind the dugout for dirt cheap from a random guy.

I just find it hard to trust scalpers. How much did you pay

20 bucks a piece. The guy was with his six year old kid so I had a feeling they were legit tickets.

Do they sell tickets at the gate?


I feel like we can get cheap tickets and move closer.

KK's Guide to $7 Great Astro's Seats:

- go to the bar across the street and drink til the start of the game, get rather fricked up.
- then stumble on over and buy $7 standing room tickets only.
- walk into stadium, purchase large souviner cup, use flask, whiskey, and sprite to continue buzz.
- wait til, around the 5th or 6th.....errr, 1st or 2nd inning when Carlos Lee misses a couple of easy outfield plays, Berkman strikes out numerous times and the Stro's are down 5-6 runs.
- fans will leave quickly.
- you take your seat wherever you please, because the ushers don't give a shite at this point.
- refill souviner cup, sprite, flask, whiskey, rinse and repeat.







......cab home.

Awesome, thanks. I didn't know how aggressive the ushers are.

Can you get from the view deck to the box seats with ease?

The ushers are just as defeated as the fans.

Plus, more people in field boxes looks better on TV.

Went to a St. Louis/Astros game earlier. 20 bucks a ticket 8 rows directly behind home plate. Some random guy on the corner.

Hope they aren't more hostile to people wearing Brewers gear.

I wore my Cubs gear when I went and I think the Cubs fans outnumbered the Astros fans.

Not talking about the fans, just talking about the ushers. Not worried about Astros fans.
