2021 Around MLB: Return of the Dead Ball Era

[Out of the Rafters at the Q]

I stand corrected. I wasn't aware there was this kind of flexibility.

Yep. You just got charged the difference. Say I moved from a weekday game to a Friday, and the tickets were 6 bucks more, I paid those 6 bucks in the app and it was done.

Seriously--the fan experience at Progressive Field, from food and drink, to the quality of the ballpark, to the way the organization makes things easy for the fans, is top notch.

I don't believe there were any split-admission double headers last year at all.

Fans weren’t allowed at games last year

As an Indians season ticket holder, I constantly moved my tickets around willy-nilly with no restrictions. They couldn't have made things more convenient for me.

At one point I consolidated my two tickets from like 12 different games into one game for a work outing.

Surely you can see your leap from "People aren't outraged over a double-header being reduced from 9 innings to 7" to "YOU DONT LIKE BASEBALL!" is nonsensical, right?

I have half season tickets to the local Orioles minor league team. They let me do the same thing, its fantastic. Honestly if they didnt i would seriously consider cutting back the number of tickets I purchase. But to know if its a really nice day and I really want to see a game, i can just call them up and move tickets around. That sort of flexibility is fantastic.

Even this year, they gave season ticket holders 2 weeks to make all the changes we wanted before they opened things up to single game tickets. For $10/ticket the value is through the roof'

edit: Do the indians do any sort of beverage/food package? The minor league team i mentioned has a "mug club" $2 24oz sodas, or $4 16 domestic beers.

I don't know what they run now, but for 2017, my Indians season tickets were 12.50 per ticket.

I really have a hard time wrapping my head around people who complain about Indians ticket prices.

I know the Indians used to do a district ticket. Standing room, like 17 bucks or so, and 4 bucks off your first beer?

They also allow you to bring in outside food and drinks.

Plus, this year, since my tickets don’t start until May, they put almost $300 worth of credits in my account for additional tickets/upgrades throughout the season.

How soon we....or rather, I...forget. Thanks for the (should have been unnecessary) reminder.

Anyone just see that awesome web gem by old friend Cristian Arroyo a few minutes ago saving the Red Sox bacon against the Twins? Instead of two on, no one out in a tie game late, there are two out and no one on. Game is being played in a constant blizzard, meaning it should be frosty in Chicago tonight.

Update:

Tough break for the Twins.

Tough break for the Twins.

Tough break, how exactly? Seems they probably needed to plan for this given the guy's obstinate attitude toward vaccinations.

Dodgers vs Padres is for real. October baseball 12 games into the season.

I was frankly happy to see the Dodgers smash them in the mouth in extras. And I don't like the Dodgers one bit. Corey Seager is a dude.

Nope - if Bauer wrote the outline it would be done much better. Ha Ha Ha

I thought last nights Dodger/Padre game had a playoff feel. But tonights drama even topped that.

The rest of the 19 games this season will definitely be must see TV.

Two more positive tests, game cancelled.
