All Star Game Tickets for Season Seat Holders

How hard will it be to get tickets for non-season seat holders?

• I’m going to Vegas with the HH crowd!

I use stubhub all the time to sell tickets, both to premium games (Yankees, Dodgers, Opening Day, etc.) and non-premium games (Royals, Orioles, etc.). I have 4 tickets and am going to be on my honeymoon during the ASG and am going to sell some of my seats to friends (at/near face) and some on stub hub. I agree that ticket prices will likely be expensive for the game, but they will get cheaper as time goes on. I’ve noticed that for premium games, the price tends to be very high at the beginning (currently, ASG on stubhub starts at $450, HR Derby at $300), and then as more people post tickets, they undercut eachother, and the price goes down, usually hitting it’s low around a week prior to the game (at usually 1.5-2.5 times face value), then the price goes up astronomically immediately prior to the game, often for 4-5 times face value.

Please don’t give me grief about the way I go about using my tickets, the intent of my post was to explain what I think the availability of tickets will be and the approximate pricing, albeit in a vague and speculative way.

Another note about stubhub, I am very mixed on using stubhub as a seller. I really enjoy the convenience, but I don’t like all the fees they take out (15% from the seller and they add 10% to the buyer for a total of 25%). When I have the time and effort and know I won’t be able to attend a game far in advance, I usually attempt to sell on Craigslist, where I can price them lower than what they sell for on Stub Hub and get more money overall for the tickets. It’s usually a win-win situation for both me and the buyer. The only issue with Craigslist is that some people can sell you bogus tickets or tickets that don’t scan, but I’m a firm believer in “What goes around comes around” for the dishonest folks.

“depends on how much ticket prices end up being?”

And I’ve been putting money aside for months for this.

if Obama throws out the first pitch

Can i NOT purchase anything and still have a good time near/at/around the stadium?

I can give a damn about going to the game. All I am hoping for is winning the lottery so I can take my two sons to the HR Derby.

Just not one you were likely to get anything out of because of the limited amount of seats they would make available.

Kind of like how I got into the lottery for the World Series last year (had we made it) and wasn’t able to get squat despite the fact that I logged in at 10:00:01 and sales started at 10:00:00.

I just hope there are some Halos playing in it
You can count Figgi out (as an Angel)

Once you have it, turn it over to WiHaloFan or Rev. Wi/Rev grabs his laptop/desktop with Photoshop and other graphic design programs and a scanner, then hops in the car. Wi/Rev drives down to my place in San Diego. I live far out of the jurisdiction of the Anaheim PD, OC Sheriff and Tony Reagins, but still close enough to be used as a safehouse. Wi/Rev then produces limitless copies of Sam’s press pass for use by the HH community. When we’re done, we return Sam’s pass in an unmarked envelope. Then, we all get to go to the All Star Game!!!

Who wants to volunteer?

For the TL;DR crowd
1) Bumrush Sam from the OCR and take his press pass.
2) ?
3) We’re all goin to ASG 2010!!!!!
