The Official Unofficial Playoff Tickets Thread!

by Zonis on Sep 18, 2006 4:26 PM PDT

Tickets were mailed out last friday, and have arrived today, at least for those who ordered them quickly.

As few pointed out in the Daily Link Dump, they are waiting at your door!

And low and behold, I have mine in hand!

So now it is time to spill the Beane's, and tell us: where are you sitting?

Well, if individual game tickets are not available

you can still buy Playoff Strips if you buy their "Last Week of the Season" pack (which comes with Post Season Ticket Rights) or you can put a $50 buck deposit on 2007 season tickets (cheapest ticket package will cost around what? $190? $200?).

We discovered this year in those seats that the Minnesota bullpen is very touchy. Luckily the usher thought we were funny, and we didn't hit any "foul balls," so she refused to give in to their request to have us removed.

That's correct

Monday at 9AM PDT:

Individual tickets for potential American League Division Series games in Oakland will go sale Monday at 9 a.m. Tickets can be purchased at the McAfee Coliseum Box Office, on the web at www.oaklandathletics.com or by calling 1-877-493-BALL. Tickets are priced at $55 (MVP), $50 (field level), $45 (plaza level infield), $40 (plaza level), $30 (plaza outfield) and $20 (bleachers and plaza reserved). Game dates and times will be determined, and tickets purchased for any unplayed games are refundable. The A's plan on keeping the third deck tarped for all postseason home games, with capacity at 34,077.

If your playoff seat (all games) is in Section 138, Rows 32-36 (any seat), and would like to move closer to the action, let me know. I'll swap you my ticket for yours; I'm in Section 135, Row 31, Seat 10 (near the drummers).

I would like to sit in my original section. My possee's giving me a hard time for not sitting with them. :)

I would also consider section 137 if the seat is close to sec 138.
