I can buy ticket to the WS if its in Cleveland
 

I just got notice from the lottery thing that I can buy tickets if Cleveland makes it. The tickets must be used at The Jake.

I have grown up and Indians fan. I remember turing on my radio as low as it could go when I was young, so I could listen to the games even though my parents said I need to go to bed.

I would LOVE to be there on the day they win (If they make it, and win) any other day wouldnt really mean much to me.

so, what would you do?

Re: I can buy ticket to the WS if its in Cleveland
 

Choice 1: If I do this, how much could I get?

Choice 2: Will gaurentee me a seat at the 2007 WS but will guarentee I wont see them win it.

Choice 3: I doubt the WS will go to 6 games this year. Whether Cleveland or Boston makes it, it will be over in 5. But if NOT then it definitely wont go to 7 games, so 6 would be the best bet to see them win it.

Choice 4: How much could I make doing this?

Choice 5: Again, I risk not even being able to sell these tickets because I dont see it going 6 games. But I could get a lot if I sold game 6 tickets and a LOT more if I sold game 7 tickets and it went into 7 games.

If you have to ask, you don't sound like a very big fan to me.

Re: I can buy ticket to the WS if its in Cleveland
 

Step 1: Hedge now
Step 2: Sell tickets if you get them
Step 3: Buy tickets at the game

So deciding whether to go to game 1,2,6 or 7 means Im not a real fan?

or

Staying at home and watching the same game with friends, PLUS making money and making someone else happy that really wants to see it live means Im not a real fan?

Re: I can buy ticket to the WS if its in Cleveland
 

The WS certainly can go 6 or 7 games this year.

Obv it can, but it probably wont.

if they make it, the energy in the stadium for game 1 would be ridiculous

What odds will you lay that the Rockies aren't eliminated by game 6?

Re: I can buy ticket to the WS if its in Cleveland
 

I can promise you this, if Dids is free and wants to take a vacation he should put on the Drew Carey glasses and show up at the ballpark in Cleveland.

Pretty sure he could get in for free. Plus even possibly end his no sex/dry spell.

The value of world series tickets on the scalping market isn't obscene. The best seats are going to go to season ticket holders and MLB sponsors/VIPs. What you buy will likely be in the upper deck and have a face value of $100 to $150. Thise seats might get you $400 apiece if you are lucky. Unless you are a broke student or something, the $600 bucks isn't even close to the value of a potential once in a lifetime experience.

I agree. Pretty obvious the Rockies finish the season on a 25-1 run.

Agreed with this.
In 03 when the Marlins beat the Yanks I was lucky enough to see game 6 live when Beckett dominated. Friends sisters boss got the tickets for her brother and I. We actually thought about selling them. They were 300 face value and were 2 rows back right behind home plate. A matter of fact we sat next to Penny Marshall and John MCenroe with a bunch of other so called Celebs around. Now im a Sox fan and I will never regret not selling those tix even tho my team wasnt involved.

Re: I can buy ticket to the WS if its in Cleveland
 

i had tix to games 6 and 7 in 2003
i had 5 pairs to game 6 and sold 4
when the cubs were up 3-1 on florida i sold 2 of the pairs for over 3500 each (upper deck behind the plate seats)
once the cubs blew it i was lucky to get 600 a pair

Re: I can buy ticket to the WS if its in Cleveland
 

If they make game 7 you might hate yourself, but I say go with game 1. There is nothing like the energy in a stadium during game 1 of the series.

Re: I can buy ticket to the WS if its in Cleveland
 

I went to WS games 1 & 2 in Boston in 2004. I kind of regretted going to game 2, b/c it cost me $250 and I could have made > $1,000, and I had already had the experience of game 1, and I had gone to ALCS Game 5 vs the Yankees (so it was my 3rd game in a row) AND I was a broke student at the time.

Re: I can buy ticket to the WS if its in Cleveland
 

I just bought a ticket in section 156 (3 rows behind home plate) for $275 for ALCS game 5. On Ebay

[X] Choice 6: I pay for both tix to whatever WS game you want to and you go with a total stranger. (ME!!!!)

And the home team will be celebrating victory in the streets after Game 5.

My suggestion to OP, is go to Games 1 and 2.

Re: I can buy ticket to the WS if its in Cleveland
 

Buy game 1 because (a) there will be a game 1 and (b) it is more valuable than game 2.

Unless you can get a significant premium on the tickets, go to the game. Most valuable part of going to the game: not having to listen to Buck and McCarver.

Oh -- and winning the lottery does not usually guarantee you seats. Ticketmaster (if that is who is doing it for the Indians) is being slammed hard this year by new ticket-broker software for many events in New York... lawsuit pending... not sure if that effects you in Cleveland.

Rockies over Tribe in 5.

Re: I can buy ticket to the WS if its in Cleveland
 

I can buy up to 4 tickets. I think I will try to buy the most expensive tickets, then sell 2 of them and keep two for myself.

I like the plan

BTW--amazed you can get 4

I've gotten many Cards WS tickets and it was always a 2 max per game

Re: I can buy ticket to the WS if its in Cleveland
 

Heres a link to ticket prices

http://indians.mlb.com/ticketing/pos...n.jsp?c_id=cle

If I buy 4, how much could I get selling two of them?

Im not sure which ones to buy yet, or which ones will be availablle.

But if I buy 4 (any level) and sell 2 of them, will that cover the cost of the two I am keeping?

I will be getting them for game 1 if possible.

Re: I can buy ticket to the WS if its in Cleveland
 

Just google the the big scalping operations and see what they are charging for a baseline.

I'd have to imagine that if you got 4 seats of the same value that you'd be able to get enough from selling 2 to pay for the other 2.

Re: I can buy ticket to the WS if its in Cleveland
 

Sell them...to me.

I offer $200 over face value for each ticket regardless of the game. PM me if interested.

Re: I can buy ticket to the WS if its in Cleveland
 

I got 4 tickets to game 6. Thats all I could find... GO ROCKIES! TAKE TWO!! LOL

I will probably be selling 2 of the tickets (But maybe not). I will put them on Ebay and PM anyone the link if they want it.

Too bad... Rockies will have wrapped up the series with a bow on it before Game 6...

The Rockies have been running over mediocre NL teams for the last month or so. They couldnt beat CLE, BOS, or NYY in a 7 game series.
