Biggest reasons are up front cost and the fact I don’t like sitting in the same place every time, the same reasons I don’t have season tickets now.

Plus, there’s no way I’d be able to get to all the games and I don’t want to deal with the hassle of splitting up tickets with others, putting them up for sale, etc.

I’m one of those un-renewed season ticket holders. I didn’t renew this year simply because a) I don’t know my schedule far enough in advance to be certain I can go, b) it’s so easy to walk up and get tickets for any and every game I want, and c) it’s hard to justify spending hundreds of dollars on tickets when my employer hasn’t given me a COLA increase, much less a raise, in years. The cost of everything else is going up, but my take home isn’t, so some things get cut out.

I still go to a number of games each season, just not as many as I used to….

Oh, and in Fremont? Nah, too far for me to drive, with no realistic BART options yet on the table….I’ll just stay home and watch on tv or listen to the radio.

So I couldn’t do season tickets any way. But I’m very excited about a new stadium. The Coliseum holds a lot of good memories for me, but the place has seen better days (like before Al Davis got his grubby little paws on it).

after i get my teaching credential and actual income, i’d love to get at least a big game pack. not to mention buying one of the condos and renting it out.

I mean, why not? If they’d take him for a full season ticket package. After all, he’s in his “terrible twos” and, besides, I’ve got a replacement on the way, although I haven’t yet determined what his VORC (value over replacement child) is.

Both my sister and I opened “ING” Orange savings account last year for just this reason. A pre-determined amount gets taken from my checking account on each payday (I can go online anytime and change the amount depending on my current financial situation). I’m not even sure how much I have in the account right now, but I’m hoping that it’s enough to buy a full season package when the time comes. I am disappointed that the new park will not have the bullpens on the field. I know this has been mandated by MLB, but I think it sucks. The tickets we have now are in the first row by the visitors bullpen. The interaction with the opposing players is usually the best part of my baseball experience on any given gameday.

1. I’m not going to spend that much.
2. My schedule is not sufficiently reliable.
3. I live in Sacramento.

didn’t buy them in Oakland and not gonna buy them in Fremont.

Suck on that, Lew!

if the A’s moved up to Sacto? Hmmm…….

the public transit access does not look reasonable for at least the near future, and I’m not going to deal with 880 down to Fremont, at least not for enough games to justify buying season tickets.

I will really miss seeing the games live…but the commute from Contra Costa is going to be too much for me. I hate driving in stressful situations and the public transportation to the games sounds like it’s going to suck bigtime. I am glad that the team will be staying in Norcal , though. I will go to all of the interleague games in SF between the A’s and Giants.

I went in on them in Sacramento for a couple years, but I won’t anymore, and I especially don’t plan to spend more money to drive further (emphasis on drive).

Season tickets! Only if the A’s can start winning again and actually spend money like our rivals the Angels!

I have tickets to Warriors & Raiders already, and I used to have the 20 game pack for the A’s, but ended this year because I knew they would screw up.

C’mon A’s, how do you expect to win fans over without forking over a little $$$. Use some money, to gain a lot more money!

I don’t think the Fremont experience will be fun like the bleachers are now. I’ll go to a couple of games and see how it goes, of course.

Right now, I’m an hour away from the Coliseum. I usually drive to Fremont bart with some friends and take that to McAfee. Now that its closer, I’ll be going more often, especially since I have some friends in Fremont who regularly go to games.

However, I’m just a college kid, the biggest thing stopping me from going to games is the cost. Not only the cost of a ticket, which I’ll end up paying about 20 bucks for, but its the transportation. With gas and bart, it easily adds up to 10 more bucks at least. I go to a few games each summer, definitely not as many as most of you guys go to. I do however go to the season openers, however much they cost me.

In the future however, I can see myself going to a lot of games. My dream is to one day be retired and have season tickets, then go to every game.

For those of you interested, it will be about 6 miles from the Fremont BART to the new stadium. Definately not walking distance. I’m sure there will be busses going from there though. That will be a pain in the ass. But Fremont is a relatively safe city, even at night. Fremont Amtrak to the new stadium is about 7 miles away. But Amtrak is too expensive to take regularly.

But for my 2 cents on the stadium, since capacity isn’t an issue, I think they should try to make it really nice. From what I hear it might look like this:

I dunno, thats not really unique, I want something that makes other clubs jealous, like what they have in SF. Have some cool structures, cut up the grass in a nice checkered shape, I would go to a lot of games…

But i do have a question or two because I see
