**pappag** · 10-06-2007, 09:12 AM

Didn't notice the sprinting dude. Will have to take a look at the hi-res.

And for those going to the game and passing through downtown, this might be an option.

**moonjest** · 10-06-2007, 10:56 AM

I sent you a PM, and I might be interested in the BBQ too!

ROCKIES 2, PHILLIES 1

Listen. And understand. The Rockies are out there. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

GO ROCKIES....................wasted..........celebra te Colorado, we've earned it

**smmokan** · 10-07-2007, 12:13 AM

What a pitching performance by Jimmy tonight! That 21 yr old is going to be really good for a long time.

The stadium was absolutely nuts! FKNA ROX!

I know this is crazy talk, but if anyone has an extra ticket or two to any of the NLCS games, let me know- I'd be happy to buy them.

**nick > jesus** · 10-07-2007, 06:28 PM

PM me, i might have two extras, i though i bought two to the NLDS and two to the NLCS, but i showed up last night (having not looked at the tickets) and found out the bad news

its home game #1

**The Dude** · 10-08-2007, 10:00 AM

Rockies will oficially sell tickets for the World Series next Monday, the 15th, on a lottery based system at the ticket window, not sure how they will handle internet sales.

**smmokan** · 10-08-2007, 11:02 AM

^^^ Where was that info posted?

**Punkmouse** · 10-08-2007, 11:19 AM

best game i ever went too seeing what all happened... my friend sold my ticket because he couldn't find me (i lost my cell phone) then just when i was heading back to the train someone asked me if i wanted to go ... not only did i get in for free but i had the best seats i could have ever asked for ... club level 3rd base side right next to the press box 3rd row.... talk about luck that night ... must have been meant to go to that game!

**The Dude** · 10-08-2007, 12:01 PM

it was in the rocky mountain news: http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drm...717372,00.html

About 30 Rockies fans braved the cold of night in hopes of purchasing World Series tickets this morning, but at 8 a.m., someone from Coors Field came out and told them tickets won't go on sale until next Monday by lottery.

not sure what they're going to do for online sales, but it seems like I'll either need to be at Coors Field or Kings Soopers next Monday

**smmokan** · 10-08-2007, 01:04 PM

^^^ Saw that right after I posted my question.

I can't imagine they won't sell tickets online- I'm curious to see what they'll do with that.

**pappag** · 10-08-2007, 01:14 PM

Wait, so can anyone get tickets at Coors Field on Monday?

Not understanding this "lottery" jazz.

**The Dude** · 10-08-2007, 01:27 PM

I'm not understanding the lottery system either. at Ohio State we would go get a lottery ticket and the next morning they announced a number. The person holding that number was first, next person holding the next sequential number was 2nd, and so forth, ultimately reaching the end and then wrapping around. I can't see them enforcing a lottery though at kings soopers, so might have better luck lining up there instead of coors field.

I read somewhere else that when the rockies decide to sell tickets that they will provide plenty of notice as well as instructions as to how they are going to be sold. I wouldn't trust the interweb though for purchasing tickets since their site crashed last week when they started selling NLCS tickets.

**The Dude** · 10-08-2007, 01:28 PM

great pictures, definitely justifies my need to get a point and shoot cause I don't trust myself drinking and hauling around my xti

**smmokan** · 10-08-2007, 01:43 PM

I've seen "lotto" systems before where they gave everyone waiting in line a number randomly- that was your real spot in line, despite when you get there. I'm not sure if that's what they're going to do, but it kind of sounds like it.

**Chris Knight** · 10-08-2007, 02:05 PM

N.P.G. PRESENTS!

Great stuff Nick, thanks for the invite and the killer seats, and killer time.

I really thought the Gin was going put the kibosh on the post-game, but there was a surprise rally in the bottom of the 9th, and it went to extra innings.
At least, I think that's how it went. It was all a little blurry at that point.

Anyway, first row on the 2nd deck, right down the right field line, watching the Rox sweep...PRICELESS.

**cmsummit** · 10-08-2007, 02:16 PM

Taking a piss in the rockpile during the game = PRICELESS.

(No, I didn't take the photo. It's a x-post from another board.)

**pappag** · 10-08-2007, 02:18 PM

Extra innings continued into yoga? Actually, don't answer ... I think I already know ... and you're welcome ..... on both accounts.

classic...

**jon turner** · 10-08-2007, 04:25 PM

When I got White Sox world series tickets (and how the cubs sell regular season tickets for that matter), the online system set up a "virtual waiting room" a half hour before tickets go on sale. Then the computer randomly selects people out of the "waiting room" to buy tickets until all are sold. I'd guess this would likely be how online ticketing will work for Rockies World Series tickets. The lottery at the box office could go like either way mentioned. Show up ahead of time to get your ticket (doesn't have to be too early since it's random) then they'll announce who's first and line up right before the actual sale starts.
