    tuesday 4/5 white sox
    thurs 6/30 giants (don’t expect it)
    tuesday 8/23 Clevelands

    can I request another one or 2 later?

    I have $5. No I don\'t.
  2. 5Aces Feb 12,2016 9:00 am

    6/29 Giants
    7/16 Blue Jays
    8/6 Cubs

    For now, just one of them. Order listed is the preferred order. And like Ed I may request more when/if job status gets cleared up.

    And thank you as always for the opportunity.

    I’m putting a bunch of dates in – let me know if they clash with anyone and I can moderate myself.

    Also let me know if any of your dates are special events (*) and I’ll put them on the priority list.

  5. Glorious Mundy Feb 12,2016 10:50 am

    I’d certainly love 4/4 if they are really offering it up!

    • ptbnl Feb 12,2016 11:41 am || Up

      We can but ask! Historically we’ve actually done surprisingly well with opening nights.

    • ptbnl Mar 27,2016 9:13 pm || Up

      Bingo!

      Pleas confirm you still want it ASAP though since it’s so close to the date.

  6. batgirl Feb 13,2016 8:13 am

    I’d love to get one Tuesday night game: options would be either 4/12, 5/17, or 6/19. Just one of those would be great–thanks!

    • Future Ed Feb 13,2016 10:12 am || Up

      the reason I like tuesdays is its easier for me to get there after afternoon court. monday and wednesdays are hard, and thurs is mostly day games

      I have $5. No I don\'t.
      • batgirl Feb 13,2016 10:57 am || Up

        The friend I usually go with has Mondays and Tuesdays off, so it works pretty well for us to go on Tuesdays plus free parking woooooo!

    • ptbnl Feb 13,2016 10:23 am || Up

      6/19 is a Sunday

      If this is His will, He's a son of a bitch.
      • batgirl Feb 13,2016 10:55 am || Up

        Whoops–I think I meant 6/21!

        • ptbnl Feb 13,2016 12:36 pm || Up

          I figured it was either that or 7/19, which is a Tuesday!

          If this is His will, He's a son of a bitch.
  7. sslinger Feb 13,2016 3:44 pm

    Two weekday day games please:

    4/13 – Angels
    9/21 – Astros

    As with others, I may ask for more later. Thanks!

    Where are the seats? Am planning to take the wife to the Astros series 4/29 – 5/1.

    • MikeV Feb 15,2016 12:16 am || Up

      Spring for them at least once. Very worth it.

      Also, hi!

      And I have to say: mikev is one of my favorite people on here -slusser.

      Thanks, and go As.

      • grover Feb 15,2016 5:00 pm || Up

        I shall take your advice… doubled!

        And hello, good sir.

        • MikeV Feb 15,2016 5:40 pm || Up

          Seen a few of your BookFace pics posted by the other half.

          Good lookin little one!

      what mike said

      117 row 13

      you see the people behind home plate? first row on the aisle above them.

      I have $5. No I don\'t.
      • batgirl Feb 15,2016 3:58 pm || Up

        But even better than those Diamond Level jags because you get to people watch the Diamond Level eat an insane amount of bad food and leave the ground looking like when Templeton went to the fair. Plus being up about 10 feet makes for an better view, IMO.

        • 5Aces Feb 15,2016 6:20 pm || Up

          If I had to give a negative I would say dont go in on an empty stomach. Otherwise that constant parade of food can make you rather upset.

      Whoa. My trip to Oakland is/might be around that time.

        woah.

        Thanks, and go As.

        • Jennifer Feb 15,2016 4:30 pm || Up

          I’ve had a sudden change in plans. I think I’m now going to Green Bay with two girls I met on Twitter.

          • MikeV Feb 15,2016 4:35 pm || Up

            probably a better idea.

            And I have to say: mikev is one of my favorite people on here -slusser.

            • Jennifer Feb 15,2016 4:36 pm || Up

              JJ Watt versus the Packers? Fuck yes.

              • grover Feb 15,2016 5:01 pm || Up

                Wait… you’d pick JJ Watt and Aaron Rodgers over me and the A’s?!?!

                I can respect that.

            • Jennifer Feb 15,2016 4:37 pm || Up

              You can come with.

              • MikeV Feb 15,2016 5:40 pm || Up

                K.

      • grover Feb 15,2016 4:58 pm || Up

        Nice! The realities of baby-sitting require a modification to my plans…

        I would be interested in 2 tickets for both Friday the 29th and Saturday the 30th. How may I go about providing appropriate compensation?

        • ptbnl Feb 15,2016 5:03 pm || Up

          I’ll put the request in; if they’re available on one or both of those dates then you can paypal me the money (or we’ll work out some other way if that doesn’t work).

  10. FreeSeatUpgrade Feb 17,2016 3:13 pm

    Hi and thanks for this great opportunity again this year. Four choices:

    Tues 5/3 vs M’s
    Fri 6/17 vs LAA
    Tues 6/21 vs Brewers
    Mon 7/18 vs Stros

    None are special occasions (Ed already took my special day).

    • batgirl Feb 17,2016 3:28 pm || Up

      **I requested 6/21, but honestly I don’t care what Tuesday I get tix, so put Upgrade first for that one. If neither of my other two Tuesdays pan out, I’ll go back to the drawing board.

      • ptbnl Feb 17,2016 5:55 pm || Up

        Despite the conversation, I’d still entered 7/19 as your 3rd!

        If this is His will, He's a son of a bitch.
        • batgirl Feb 17,2016 7:48 pm || Up

          Fabulous!

          • ptbnl Feb 17,2016 8:23 pm || Up

            Did you want it? I pulled it when I noticed.

            If this is His will, He's a son of a bitch.
            • batgirl Feb 17,2016 8:37 pm || Up

              I guess it wouldn’t hurt to throw that in as a third option!

      • FreeSeatUpgrade Feb 18,2016 10:10 am || Up

        Oh, sorry about that, I thought 6/21 was open. I am happy to defer on any of the dates in my request.

    • Future Ed Feb 17,2016 5:54 pm || Up

      do you want it? which day?

      I have $5. No I don\'t.
      • FreeSeatUpgrade Feb 18,2016 10:05 am || Up

        Nah, mostly just kidding. I actually dislike going to games vs the Giants.

    More requests if possible:

    One of: May 1st, August 11 or August 12
    One of: June 14 or June 15

  13. ptbnl Feb 23,2016 12:35 am

    First round of requests in.

    • vignette17 Mar 17,2016 10:40 am || Up

      Any updates in?

      • ptbnl Mar 17,2016 10:41 am || Up

        Not yet – I pinged again and it should be soon.

        If this is His will, He's a son of a bitch.
  14. ptbnl Mar 27,2016 9:03 pm

    So we finally got a response, marked up in the body of the post and summarized here:

    5aces – 6/29
    andeux – 5/29, 7/24, 9/10
    batgirl – 5/1, 5/17, 6/15
    FSU – 6/17, 6/21, 7/18
    Future Ed – 6/30
    Glorious Mundy – 4/4
    ptbnl – 5/19, 5/21, 9/2
    sslinger – 4/13, 9/21
    vignette17 – 8/7

    Sadly we did very poorly on special dates, and grover got totally hosed.

    For some of the either/or requests multiple dates were available. I think I’ve pulled them out by preference (please check) but that means 7/16, 8/6 and 8/12 are all still available if someone wants to add them to their mix.

    Also, I can no longer do Saturday’s exhibition game against the Gnats – anyone want it?

    • ptbnl Mar 27,2016 9:19 pm || Up

      8/6 gone.

      If this is His will, He's a son of a bitch.
    • Future Ed Mar 27,2016 9:25 pm || Up

      goodness, i will request 8/12 i guess.

      I have $5. No I don\'t.
    • ptbnl Mar 27,2016 9:47 pm || Up

      7/16 gone

      If this is His will, He's a son of a bitch.
    • Glorious Mundy Mar 27,2016 10:03 pm || Up

      Woo! I feel blessed.

      Paypal sent…will there be time to mail the tickets?

      • ptbnl Mar 27,2016 10:05 pm || Up

        It’s tight – we may need to have them transferred electronically. Do you have an A’s account?

        If this is His will, He's a son of a bitch.
        • Glorious Mundy Mar 28,2016 10:21 am || Up

          Yep. I just sent you an email from the address associated with the A’s account.

          • ptbnl Mar 28,2016 10:27 am || Up

            Great – if I get the tickets today (as I hope to) I’ll put them in the mail first thing tomorrow, otherwise we’ll try the electronic transfer.

            If this is His will, He's a son of a bitch.
          • ptbnl Mar 28,2016 11:03 pm || Up

            Picked up the tickets today – they’ll be in the mail first thing Tuesday.

                  Excellent – thanks.

        Received thanks.

        I need to pick up a tranche of requests early next week in order to get vignette17’s 4/17 seats out on time, so the earlier in the week you can add any dates the better.

            That’s your first game, right? So I can bring the tickets then?

                  Not a problem – I knew you were good for it, and wasn’t expecting it till Monday.

    Hey batgirl – there’s an A’s parking/transport advisory about a possible Warriors game on May 17th.

      Thanks! When we went on Sunday, I completely spaced that the Warriors game was at the same time. When we drove up, it said the lots were full, but they were directing people with passes towards the lots anyway. As we got closer there was another sign saying “CASH LOTS FULL” but people with passes could pull on through. They had saved tons of spaces for people with passes. Hopefully this system will hold!

        Related, today’s dual-event situation led them to cancel Free Parking Tuesday, which they presumably will also do on 5/17.

          I wonder whether Chevy gets some money back.

      I’ve been very lax on this, and now it’s fast approaching!

      I’ll try to pick the ticket up tomorrow and hand-deliver it over the weekend; I haven’t seen any payment yet though. Did I just miss it?
