Athletics vs Red Sox

Ok, you are now reading a post from the least computer savvy college student in the US. If this does not work, forgive me, and I shall try again. I went to the last Athletics vs Red sox series in Fenway Park and sat just a few rows back from the visiting dugout and managed to get over 100 amaaaaazing (in my biased opinion) Athletics pictures! Here are a few of them..or so I hope.

I can't even imagine how much those seats cost...

I was thinking about going, and standing room tix were running about $80.

Lol

I actually got 2 tickets and spent $796. My older brother is a huge Red Sox fan and I am a huge Athletics fan so as a birthday present to the both of us I took us to the game. I guess I need to start saving now so I can go again next season ;)

can I have $10 $100?

There were a lot of stupid, long confusing words that I’m sure normal people don’t use. @('.')@

haha

you sound like everyone in my family. lol Next time I have $100 I don’t need I will be sure to let you know lol

See, RAFs! This is what it's like to live in New England!

:hates it:
Anyplace around here – Sox, Yankees, Mets – you have to sell your children for good seats.
It would probably be cheaper to buy plane tix to OAK and sit behind the dugout at the Coli.

Anyways. That is an awesome present! :) My birthday present was to see the A’s too, at NYY last month. I went all nuts with the camera, too :) Thanks for the pics!

Yup

I miss cheap baseball.

Seriously

I’m going to an Os game this week b/c I’ve never been to Camden. Of course, the NYY were in town and all the good seats were marked up 200% on stubhub.

Camden!

That sucks that the tix got jacked up, but have fun there – I’ve only been once, and I never wanted to leave. And they were even playing the Sawx that night! Even that couldn’t bother me.

i agree

It’s insane paying for baseball tickets around here. Insane!!! I wish I could fly out to see an A’s game though. I have to plan a vacation next year to do so. It’ll be easier next year. I work 6 days and I am in my last year of college sooooooo when I graduate I am taking a week off and I’ll fly out to see those A’s!
Ticket prices are absurd. If I had kid I WOULD sell them for tickets! I don’t usually mind sitting up higher in Yankee Stadium or in the Monster seats at Fenway buuuuut it was a present so I thought the seats should be good and I really really really wanted to see the Athletics up close. It was worth every penny to see them and I figure Ziggys autograph made it worth it too!

Glad you had an awesome birthday present too!

Nice Pics

Every time I see Ellis up close he seems so serious.

Yeah,

every Mark Ellis interview I’ve ever heard or read and everything I’ve ever heard other baseball professionals say about Mark Ellis indicates that he doesn’t care a bit about hitting.
