Title: How do you get descent seats for next year
Post by: Tralfaz on November 04, 2005, 12:04:11 pm: I'm looking over the schedule for next year and there are a couple of weekend series that I want to come down for. Last year I got tickets on-line for a couple of games the minute they went on sale. The sections were good, 110 for a Cubs game and 122 for a Pirates game, but the seats were at the very back of the section. For the Pirates game on the last row, so I had some kid standing behind me wacking his thunder sticks in my ear, until the littl ol' lady beside me beat him down.

Does anyone know of a better way than "best available" on Astros.com, without paying scalper prices?

Do what I did when they set those out for a couple of Texas games. Get there early and, without raising any suspicion, go around and cut a slit in as many sticks with your pocketknife as you can. Unless they hand them out at the gate, in which case you're screwed I guess.

If you plan ahead you can get good seats for near face value. There's usually quite a few available, especially for weekday games.
