I just got off the phone with the A's ticket office.  I wanted to have my playoff strips mailed to my work address, the better to casually flash them to the Giants fans in the office.  (I'll leave it to you witch doctors to offer penance to the Woofing Gods.)  But when I called, the Ticket Services guy told me they started mailing out the strips today.  I bought mine on that first Monday when they went on sale, even before the invoice arrived.  He checked and told me that our strips were in the group that was mailed today!  They should arrive on Monday.

Check in with your seat location when yours arrive.

Now that the strips are going out, can there be any rationale for not putting the magic number PROMINENTLY on the front page?  Heck, look at the voting.  YA GOTTA GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THE WANT!  Power to the People.  Free Huey!
