Excellent news – we have been offered 25 games in the front and center seats!

This season it is $89 for the two best seats in the Coliseum and a VIP parking pass (the pass can also be used for general parking on other dates, and $9 is deducted on Free Parking Tuesdays).

The owner’s one big condition is that they only go to A’s fans at face value.

Beyond that, since this is the first time she’s ever sold a big block up front, at this point we can request no more than one game of any premium series and can’t monopolize any particular category of dates (bobbleheads, midweek days, whatever).

Post your requests in the comments and I’ll keep a running list here:

    An Indians game. Preferably Yoennis bobblehead, but the other weekend day would work too.

    Can I request 2? If so, I’d like 1&2 or 2&3 (not 1&3). If not, these are in order of preference.

    1. Sunday June 16, which is Balfour Gnome Day, so I completely understand if that’s not happening.
    2. One of Aug 2-4 series vs. Rangers, prefer Sunday Aug 4
    3. Friday June 14 or Sat June 15 vs. the Mariners

    Thanks for this. We’ll take the Angels on Tue 4/30, or if that’s not available 4/29.

    I’d like to get 2 sets. One on April 13 (fleece blanket day). I’d also like June 1 (Cespedes replica jersey). Let me know if we’re taking too many weekends, or if they aren’t possible.

    If we still have any left after everybody chooses, I may be interested in 1 more.

    Aargh, ptbnl I have to cancel my request. It turns out May 18th is Berkeley’s commencement and a friend of mine who’s walking is having a graduation party that night. Very sorry for any inconvenience.

    I’d like a couple. Looks like weekends are going fast.
    How about Sunday 4/28 Orioles, and Sunday 9/8 Astros?
    (Edit: If one of those isn’t available, I’m pretty flexible, with a preference for weekend day games.)

    I would love two dates if possible (though am OK to do just 1 if we are running out of the 25 available.)

    One of these:
    4/15 Monday Astros
    4/26 Friday Orioles

    and one of these:
    6/14 Friday Mariners
    7/26 Friday Angels
    7/29 Monday Blue Jays

    Again, only what works–thanks so much!!

  • avatar

    I’d take Sunday 9/22 vs Twins (or Saturday 9/21 vs Twins). Based on previous years, there is a 100% chance that whichever one I get will be the day we clinch the playoffs.

    I’d really like Friday 7/26 for my sister’s birthday, since that’s the only night game of that weekend and we are both sun-averse. But that date has already been llama-nabbed. Sal, since you included “or 7/28″ in your request, would you be willing to switch to that date and let me have the 26th?

    (Are there any conditions about monopolizing weekends in general? That is, can I ask for a Friday night of a weekend where someone else already has that Saturday or Sunday?)

    And I know I said “save me one slot,” but if it’s okay to monopolize a weekend, I’d also really like Friday 9/20…

    I think it’s OK to block out a weekend (and with 25 of 81 games its hard not to) as long as its not a premium series.

    If this is His will, He's a son of a bitch.
    avatar
      up

    I thought you said “save me one slut” which would mean something totes different.

    Since I’m a cranky bastard, I’d say no to the switch. But since I like you Poppy…OK. 7/26 is yours.

    avatar
      up

    Thank you! :)

    And I don’t think I’ll reserve any sluts this time… I’m trying to cut down.

    There's a wild thing in the woolshed and it's keeping me awake at night.
  • avatar

    I have a friend who is really interested in 1 day, but I’m not sure when yet. Would it be too greedy to reserve a third?

    avatar
      up

    Can we leave it open for other folks a little longer first, since we’re already at 24 now?

    Also this initial 25 doesn’t mean there won’t be more available later in the season.

    If this is His will, He's a son of a bitch.
    avatar
      up

    That’s completely fair.

  • avatar

    I’m not a part of this but am watching the draft with a little amusement. My observation is, you might bump into a problem with the Saturdays and Sundays as you’ve asked for 14 of 26 available at this point. batgirl took a couple of low-demand games but aside from that, you may be asked to mix in a few more Wednesday night Astros and Tuesday night Mariners.

    avatar
      up

    That’s true, and we’ll see what they think, but with 1/3 of the tickets its hard not to take a bunch of the weekends.

    If this is His will, He's a son of a bitch.
    avatar
      up

    Scanning the list, it looks like vignette, GM, oblique, and I have each asked for 2 Sat/Sun games. I think all our requests are reasonable given the very vague guidelines, but if we have too many of those as a group, then I would of course have no problem being limited to one per customer.

    Whatever you can do!

    And we’re at 25.

    Once I’ve got the final reserved spot nailed down to a date I’ll submit our list and we’ll iterate as necessary. We’re obviously a bit weekend-heavy but not outrageously so, and our firework/giveaway dates are proportionate.

    Remember that this doesn’t mean that the seats won’t be available again once the season starts, just that the owner didn’t want to commit more than 25 games initially.

    With many apologies for the delays we finally have a decision on our dates.

    The bad news is that 10 of the 25 are no-go, which is significantly more than I had expected.

    Incidentally, I just had a chance to speak with the season ticket holder, and she apologized again both for taking so long to sort these dates out and for the unavailable ones.

    She also explained that when requests collided she used seniority to determine where the seats went, so things can only get better for us in the future!

    He did, but it was $18 short (VIP parking passes are automatically included). Don’t worry about it now though – I’m happy to wait till next time I see you.

    All paid tickets are now ready to go into the mail tomorrow (JL’s aside – organized separately). Please confirm receipt.

    All’s well — in my meager defense, I start from the assumption that I am a visitor to the tech era, while you are a naturalized netizen and Lily a native. So I read the lede and poked around on your FKg ID and tried other likely tactics in the hope of bringing up some manner of profile, with email linkage, that I bet everybody else already knows how to do. Then I decided I don’t really understand paypal. I finally concluded that this was yet another thing I was not intended to comprehend. The list grows.

    I remain concerned that this is information that will get me kidnapped, now that I have it. But just a little.

    Question: Can we use the season ticket holder entrance with these tickets, or do you need some other sort of indicia of STH status?

    Second question: Does using the STH entrance allow one to arrive later and still get a bobblehead?

    avatar
      up

    These are excellent questions.

    avatar
      up

    And ones to which I have no answers, though I seem to recall nevermoor chiming in on this before with respect to the FK package.

    If this is His will, He's a son of a bitch.
    avatar
      up

    I believe you are supposed to need the season ticket card to use that entrance, not just tickets that clearly go with a season account.

    No idea how this is enforced, since that entrance is not optimal for me since I am usually coming from BART. Might give it a try next time I drive though.

    "There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want"
    avatar
      up

    I used the STH entrance with these tickets on Saturday to get the blanket. Apparently to use the entrance last year, you needed credentials as well as the ticket. This year ticket only (or credential only) works.

    I was worried as the main entrance had a really long line 1.5 hrs before game time and they said they were running low on the blankets. However, the STH entrance still had 10 full boxes of blankets when I entered at 11:45 for the 1:00 game. So yes, you can use the ticket for STH entrance. Yes, it will help get a bobblehead, but I can’t say how much.

    The seats were as awesome as I remembered, even though the result of the game sucked. Thanks again, ptbnl!

    avatar

    You’re technically supposed to have your STH pass to get into the private entrance. In practice, if it’s not super crowded and you give them an excuse like you couldn’t find it but look, here’s my STH ID # on the ticket, they might let you through. And yes, it’s a good way to get a giveaway (I think we got calendars on Sunday after some of the other entrances were out), but if it’s a bobblehead day expect long lines so the excuse may not work.

    avatar
      up

    Good to know. Thanks.

    avatar
      up

    I’d also heard this year you need a season ticket or a credential but not both. Even last year when they were supposedly requiring both, I showed up with non-season tickets and my credential (and my season ticket holder lanyard and stadium bag from previous seasons) and sailed through. I’ve never seen anyone get turned away from that line. The club entrance, next to the STH entrance, is also likely to have shorter lines since most people don’t know it’s there or think you have to have suite tickets to go in there. But you don’t.

    Hooray for Coliseum hacks. I really want that Reggie bobblehead, but there’s no chance I can get to the park before 11:30.
