As demonstated by this young lady, if you sit out in the rockpile you don't even have to leave to take a piss. Just drop trow and let it flow..............

I still get a laugh everytime I see this.
I'm scouring CL first to see if I can score some for a decent price. There are SO many people asking way too much money right now- pretty soon they're going to realize that no one is going to pay that much for a shitty UD seat.

World Series tickets for games at Coors Field will go on sale Monday at 10 a.m., the Colorado Rockies announced this afternoon.
The Rockies can qualify for the World Series by beating the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League Championship Series, which begins Thursday night in Phoenix.
Tickets for three possible World Series games at Coors Field — scheduled for Oct. 27, 28 and 29 (if necessary) will be sold at the following locations:
Online at www.coloradorockies.com
In person at:
Coors Field
Rockies Dugout Stores
Telephone orders will not be accepted.
According to the Rockies' Web site, line lotteries will be used at Coors Field and Rockies Dugout Stores.
Overnight camping will not be permitted at Coors Field. Parking lot A will open at 8:30 a.m., where the lottery will take place prior to 10 a.m. A limit of four tickets per person will be in place at all sales locations.
Ticket prices will range from $65 for Rockpile tickets (Sections 401-403) to $250 for club level (Sections 214-247) and infield box (Sections 119-142).
I scalped tix for Saturday's game and it was tougher than I expected. Early on everyone was asking at east $100.
I thought i would wait until the first inning was over and get something cheap. Ended up getting in on a $40 rockpile ticket right before the first pitch. I had some friends try to wait it out a bit and got they got skunked. I have had really good luck getting tickets for Nuggets, Avs and Rockies games in the past-this was certainly slimmest pickings and most chaotic event to date.
I hear ya, but the same people go to opening day year after year, often with the same group of co-workers, friends, etc., so most of the tickets are sold and claimed well in advance. Plus it's basically a holiday in LoDo so tons of office workers take the afternoon off and try to go to the game at the last minute.Quote:

But it doesn't help that the Denver Donkeys are off this weekend, so that's gonna add a few thousand extra people with money to burn to the bandwagon.
Who knows? I still think single tickets will be out there on Sunday, it just might take a little time and $$ to find them.
Edit: Good info gorms, I didn't go down there on Sat., and I didn't know it was so tight. But IMHO, paying $40, or $100, wasn't bad deal for that game. Typical Colorado sports fans jumping on the bandwagon, at least Bronco's tickets will be cheap later this season when they're 2 and whatever.
I'm gonna head down on monday morning to try and score some WS tix. You gonna be there Nick? I might try to score a tic for sunday night since i'll be down there I guess.
This is how good the game was.Quote:

It doesn't look like there's any kind of lotto system online- at least not that I can tell from their website information.
Did you guys see the prices on those tickets though? Holy shit.
Purchase 4 per CC and flip all but 4 for x3 the cost.Quote:

That's why the lottery system in place makes little to no sense. There truly is no incentive to go there in person.Quote:

^^They already played april 1
I think part of the point of the lottery is to keep people from camping out. With a lottery there is no incentive to get to the window in much time before they go on sale. you could walk up to the window 15 minutes before sale time and get the first in line ticket number. I'd probably still get there maybe 30 minutes or so early just to see how the system is going to work and sort through the chaos that will be there, so you don't screw it up when they start lining people up, but any more than that is pointless. Sometimes they only give out so many tickets as well, so you want to make sure you get there early enough to get a ticket, but again, it doesn't have to be all that early.Quote:

There was an interesting story in the WSJ about what you're up against when trying to order tickets on-line:
Hannah Montana Battles the Bots
Ticketmaster Tries to Block Software
That Lets Resellers Grab Hot Concert Seats

If you go to Coors Field and draw a low number you might have a fighting chance to buy some tickets if you get to the window before they're all sold to the thousands of people trying to buy on-line.
Just an idea, but everybody in Denver who wants to go to a game or two should get together and try and buy tickets from multiple locations on monday. (Coors Field, Dugout stores, multiple computers on-line) One or two people will probably get lucky and be able to buy the max. number of tickets and then split them with the others in the group. It would require a little cooperation and trust, but it would increase everyone's chance of at least getting to go to a game.
I'd go in on it, but it looks like I'm going to be out of town during the home dates.
There's a bunch of tickets on Stubhub, starting at $65 for Sunday's game. Never used them, looks like the fees will add $20 or so, but still a pretty decent deal. Any caveats? thanks....
Fack it, pulled the trigger. Only live once, right? StubHub, Sec 129, lower level right behind the plate, ~$140 total w/fees, graft, gratuity, etc. Starting to sound like a good chance of spending 100 for a way upper seat, 40 more is just one night out forsaken. Done. Rationalized. Psyched. Go Wings!!!!!!!!!! Oops, I mean Rox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just checked stubhub ... prices have gone down significantly in the last couple of days.
I may have two good tickets available for a good price (~$125) if anyone's interested. The tickets are in the lower level.... assuming I can pick them up today.

Yep. PM me if anyone is interested- I'd be selling for what I pick them up for (hopefully not jinxing myself here).
I feel like an idiot, I was talking w/ my boss today about taking some time off Monday morning to buy WS tickets when she asked me if I wanted to wait a week to buy them. Sure enough, WS tickets for Rockies won't go on sale until the 22nd. At least by then we'll know for sure that the Rox are in the WS.
I have 3 extra tickets to Sunday's game - U318, Row 16 ... $60 each (face value). Let me know if interested.
Wow if I lived in Denver I would be all over this, and I don't even root for the Rockies! Although, I would like them to get to the WS over the Dbags.
wow, it was a decent upgrade for $15 more, section 113 row threeQuote:

If anyone's interested in the tickets, PM me. They are print at home, so I can email them to you or I will be in Denver this weekend, so I can meet you somewhere.
The seats are section 115, row 2, seats 1-4. I bought them right before going to the wildcard playoff. They were $315 or so with all the fees. It looks like you can get section 115 tickets on stubhub for 115 to 125 (with one pair for 500each), so I would like $400 for them. I'm guessing since they are row 2 I could probably ask more. I don't really want to split them up.
I'm really bummed about selling these, but I was pretty worthless the day after going to the wild card playoff, and I'd imagine I'd be even worse since this is an 8pm game (plus the drive back to Leadville puts me getting home no earlier than 2am).
EDIT: Tickets are tentatively sold.
Anybody have any for sale?
18 out of 19
7 more to go...
ROCKIES, FUCK YEAH!
man this shit is fun to watch!
Go Rocks!
1-0 bitches.
Pretty classy fans there in Phoenix... I didn't know old people could throw that far.
Go Rockies! Anyone have any for sale for Sunday?????
Wow. They seem like a train thats going to be impossible to derail.
Yessssss!!!!!!!!
