All,
I have confirmed the FKing suite day for 7/20 against Baltimore. Total cost is $210 for 18 seats, and we can add up to six more tickets at $35 each. Total cost per ticket will be the same for everyone, so it depends upon how many folks are bought in.
Step 1 is to figure out who wants tickets. Priority to FKing season ticket pool folks, but there may well be tickets for others too. At this point, just post what you want and we can let things develop from there.
Two for me.
I would like to go, even though I didn’t buy into the plan this year. However, last year I bought into the tickets but was not able to go to the suite day.
I would be in for 1-3 tickets depending on availability.
Just one for em as of now, may want +3 later if they are still available.
I am a solid 3
twss
the scale is 2
I am in for 2.
I would be in for 1
As of now the maximum requested is 16 (or I suck at counting). What’s a reasonable time frame for other FKing ST folks to respond? Are others on the fence?
I would like one. Or possibly three.
Three.
Just count me as one. Any late adds with me can get Plaza Rez tix and upgrade.
If available, I’d like two (plus a baby). It’s been nearly impossible for me to commit to anything, but hopefully this is far enough out that I can make it happen.
Sounds like 21 to me. I’m going to make an executive decision that everyone who has made a request so far is confirmed for their max amount. Sounds like a chance that FSU could use some if people drop down, and there are still up to three left.
Do any of the folks with a range have more information about what they’ll use?
So hearing deafining silence, and with ranges from a number of you, I’m trying to figure out how best to set ticket prices so I can start getting reimbursed. There’s still time for more people to hop on (first come, first served at this point), but I’m going to need to lock in a per-ticket price soon (which, of course, depends considerably on how many folks want in)
I’m staying with just one ticket. I’d suggest you set a drop-dead response date in the near future, divide per-ticket costs by the actual number you have at that point, and if others join later we charge them the same rate and use the proceeds to buy food and beer for the rest of us.
yeah, I am still with the 3.
July 20 is just two days before George Clinton’s birthday; I vote we make that our theme. Who’s good at hair wraps?
Good idea. Can you get to that?
Got the ticket confirmation.
I’m going to make the drop-dead date for new requests this Friday. At that point, we will split the cost evenly amongst all requests and any later requests (if there is room) will cost $38/ticket (i.e. not be subsidized by the discount suite deal).
To the extent you gave me a range of ticket count, please try to firm that up this week so I can do an accurate price.
I just found out I will be out of town for this. If you’re counting on my numbers, I’ll buy anyway and hope to resell.
I don’t think we’ll have a problem with that
(although we miss you)
I miss y’all too.

If PTBNL wants 3, that gets us to 16. I paid $210 all in for the 18 tickets, so that would be $13 (rounded down) a ticket. That said, if we can get two more takers (anyone, not just ST holders) it would drop to $12 (rounded up) a ticket. Worst case is PTBNL only wants one and we are at $15/ticket.
I’ll give the weekend for two things: (1) two more takers (or more, we can get up to 24 total tix); (2) PTBNL’s call on numbers. Then I’ll set the price.
one of my friends still wants time to decide. (no idea why). I’ll bug him again monday morning.
The wiseguy move is to buy now before the public money pours in closer to race day.
add an AV please?
Great!
Yes to 3 please.
Cool. Then we are at 17. 17/210 is $12 a ticket. For those of you listed in my comment above (and AV), please paypal that over when you get a chance (my screenname at gmail). Please do so as a gift (or some other way that means I get the intended amount without fees).
There’s one more ticket available at $12 (proceeds go to clearing out the stray coins from rounding down everyone else), then up to six available at $35 each. No idea how late the extras can be requested, but if you end up wanting one let me know.
sent.
Got it, thanks!
just sent mine as well
Me too
Got ’em. Thanks!
I sent mine last week, I assume it was received.
Indeed, thanks.
sent
Thanks.
Ill come in for an additional. You all can meet the gf.
Excellent, I look forward to seeing both of you.
Sweet. And received. Thanks.
Any tailgate plans for this? With a 1pm start I’m guessing not, but I’m open to persuasion.
I’d be up for such a thing.
Brunch tailgate … bloody marys and mimosas.
Unrelated to this post, but needs to be asked-any plans yet for FK day?
No, but we should definitely get on that (and do it a different day than this one)
I haven’t put any thought into this, but quickly overlaying my summer schedule with the A’s, a date which looks feasible is the Sat Aug 23 game vs LAA. It’s a 6:05 start so ideal for tailgating. It’s also a fireworks game, which has plusses and minuses.
Agreed that a Saturday evening start is ideal, which limits us to 8/9 (Twins) and 8/23 (Angels) now. Unfortunately I can’t do the latter.
AAAAHHHHHH!!!! It’s Sophie’s Choice!!!!
8/9 would most likely work for me, but it’s shortly after I return from a long (exhausting) vacation, which would cut into my preparation time a bit. But manageable most likely.
wont lie-8/9 would be sort of cool as I have the front row tix. while it means I cant hang as much during the game, I would be almost certain to attend.
I am a maybe for both nights.
I would vote for not fireworks since it would make a sell out and directed parking more likely.
I’ll try to get a post up sometime soon gauging the interest level for an August 9 FK Day. Someone else would have to handle any group ticket buys, though, as I will be out of town before hand.
i vote yes… i also now have a portable grill
Thanks, and go As.
its a lodge cast iron grill… i shall bring it… and give the highest of fives.

All,
I just noticed that these tickets have been added to my online account, which means I can just electronically transfer them. Seems easier than trying to coordinate in the parking lot (and these are the regular paper tickets anyway). Any objections to me doing that? Anyone who wants them sent somewhere other than their FK email address?
that is fine by me.
my account uses my yahoo account (that i am trying to phase out due to the over abundance of spam emails that get sent from there)
Feel free to email me a better one. My screen name at gmail.
that is the one associated with my “My A’s tickets”
the better email for me is sidawied at gmail little nicky com
Sorry if I’m being dense, but which should I use for these tix?
Sounds like he wants it at his name reversed at gmail.
I am not sure how we transfer, if we use the My A’s tickets, do we use the email associated with that? which is Yahoo.
or can you just send links in a regular email, which would be the gmail
either way, I have a month to figure it out
having learned earlier that you can have two different MLB accts with the same email login, i learned about acct numbers…
so just log into your MLB account and get the acct number. i believe NM can send to the acct# directly and you don’t have to worry about the email factor. i believe.
ok. I will
Nope. I just send via email.
ok, you can do that
And sent (to your My A’s tickets account). Let me know if there is a problem.
got em
also because seriously who uses yahoo?
lemme send you the email address i used for A’s/MLB.
Sent!
I’ll email you with a better contact email for ticket transfers, thanks.

My email for the plan works.

I just changed mine. Should be good now

Sure, because it’s American. If it were English your tickets would inevitably be disappointing.
But at least reliably, predictably so.
my email is in my profile and is sufficient

EM – Just checking in to see if you still want these.
Sorry I missed this whole thread until now. Yes. Will send $$ shortly.
No problem. Sending tickets now. Let me know when they come through.
They’re in my account. Thanks!
Hey nm, looks like I will be bringing two kids along with me after all. I can get Plaza Res tix on day of game and upgrade the kids into the suite, of course, but if there are any extra actual suite tix or cancellations I can take two off your hands. Lemme know.
All the tix are paid for / sent along / out of my hands. I could get two additional ones at $35 per, but I promise not to blow the whistle if you FSU ’em instead.
Lily is happy :-)
Not 100% sure yet on the kid roster. Could be my two, could be one of mine and one unrelated kid friend.
Looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday! I’m planning to get to the parking lot at maybe 11:00 or so, usual spot. Not bringing the full tailgate gear set up but I will have a small grill, condiments and plates, and beer. Mostly because I’d rather eat in advance and not have to spend game time in concession lines. Anyway, see you there!
Indeed, it should be fun!
My understanding is that everyone got their tickets electronically, so if I am delayed for baby-related reasons (which is unlikely but also a fact of life) no one will be stranded outside the stadium.
I certainly hope I can get there for some pre-game festivities.
i’ll be there 11ish. will use available firepower for a sausage or two.
woooooooo!
We’ll be there.
See y’all out there! W00t!
i just need to wash my hair
