Default 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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?
