Tales Of The Yankees Tickets Pre-Sale

SS

So as I have mentioned before, the Yankees wouldn't sell me tickets - but they did give me a pre-sale code today.  Here's a heads up for those who will be part of the general sale for single tickets.
 
10:00     right off the draw, I was in at 10:00.0001.   Went for opening day.  Tried standing room.  Nothing.
 
10:03    Opening Day "best available" Nothing.
 
10:08    Saturday Cubs Exhibition.  I threw back $225 tix.  No thanks Yankees.
 
10:10    Saturday Cubs Exhibition.  Nailed $1 tix!  Woo-hoo!  That's $5.25 for two tix including service charge.  The Yankees must have a much cheaper mailing service than the Mets.
 
10:16    Got grandstands for Sat 3/18!
 
10:18    Got grandstands for May 2.  Cap Day.  My "Make Your Own Package" is going well!
 
10:23    Got grandstands for May 5 vs Boston.  "Make Your Own" going really well.
 
10:26    Got grandstands for May 23 vs Phils.  Quite surprised at this.
 
10:27    Oh yeah, the Subway series.  Totally forgot.  (I like those on TV anyway, too many drunks at the games).  Nothing for all three.  Well by nothing I mean no grandstands.
 
Then I picked off the $5 Wednesday night tickets.   Sneaking in a couple of those keeps the prices down.
 
Took another run at opening day and threw back a $900 ticket.
 
Took shots at the Red Sox weekend series.  Nope.
 
Decided I had enough.  Wound up with two tickets to 8 games, all similar ish seats way out in right.  Averaged out to $20 per fanny in seat....not too shabby.
 
Good luck to everyone else!
 
April 3 at C-Field and April 4 at NYYS will be a fun weekend.

Shannon - I should have warned you that SRO tix are not on sale yet. The Yankees were dumb and didn't gray out that option on the drop-down menu. Those tickets will be sold subsequently, possibly as day of game sales (according to my ticket rep).
