To keep it manageable, I’m consolidating the requests for the pair of front row seats in a single post.
So far the list is:
- andeux – June 17th PAID & RECEIVED
- JediLeroy – July 20th PAID & RECEIVED
- batgirl – July 30th PAID & RECEIVED
- vignette17 – August 5th PAID & RECEIVED
- poppy – August 18th & September 15th PAID & RECEIVED
- brian.only – September 16th PAID & RECEIVED
The cost is $85 for the two seats and a VIP parking pass, and the tickets are paper only unless that causes huge problems.
Once the ticket availability is confirmed in the comments the easiest thing for me would be if people could paypal the money to me (address in profile) along with their mailing address and I’ll send them out.
batgirl: July 30th is available.
Woo Hoo!!! Is your paypal address the same as your email in your profile?
Thanks so much–I’m super excited!
Yes it is – thanks.
Payment received – many thanks.
Woot!
vignette17: July 7th and 8th are both available – take your pick.
Update: now only the 8th available.
Of course now I realize that’s the day of the FK suite…I’ll still take the 8th if you’d feel weird cancelling, but otherwise I might prefer 8/5 or 8/6, although the 5th is better.
I’ll check.
August 5th is available.
I will take August 5 instead of July8 then. I’ll paypal you later tonight.
Received – thanks.
Would the 16th of Sept be available, or whichever date of that weekend poppy doesn’t want?
I have an A’s buddy w/ the same b-day as I, this would be a cool present!
16th requested – and yes it would!
You rock my ( as well as Patricks ) world, where are the seats btw?
Have to run unfortunately but will paypal you later tonight or tomorrow!
So excited, I think the closest I’ve sat is row 18!!!!
Section 117, row 13.
Front row, right behind home plate.
Fan-FKing-tastic experience.
SWOON
JL: any success brainstorming?
How about June 20th?
(I assume June 22nd is taken)
Both June 20th & 22nd are taken.
The current list of unavailable dates (as far as I know it) is:
5/21, 26, 27
6/4, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24
7/2, 3, 4, 8, 21, 22, 30
8/14 or 15
9/1, 2, 3, 16
July 20th?
Requested.
Thanks! :)
I doubt they’ll budge, as they are Friday night Yankees tix. Almost all the other ones that are available when I’m not traveling are taken for the next few months.
They shouldn’t have to budge – that’s not on the unavailable list at present.
Does “requested” mean “available”? If so, I’ll paypal you right away.
Requested means they’re not confirmed yet (in case someone else has asked for them between the last update of the unavailable list and my request).
It’s very likely they’ll be available though.
That’s what I thought–just didn’t want to leave you waiting for Paypal funds.
Thanks – I appreciate the thought.
Dial C for Concupiscence: June 16th is available.
Sigh, so I’m doing this for an NRAF who doesn’t get to see the A’s in person very often, but he’s had to change his travel plans. He’s not able to make it over the 16th/17th weekend after all, and will instead be up here sometime between June 2nd-6th. Ideally, I’d like to try to get the tickets for one of the Rangers games in that span and cancel my request for the 16th. I feel bad about cancelling, so if it isn’t possible to do so, I’ll figure out something for those tickets.
Are any of the Rangers game tickets available? I don’t want to ask for a particular game until my friend and I secure his plans a bit more, but I would like to see if that’s a possibility.
Sorry for the complications.
Apart from June 4th that span is not on the current “taken” list, but I’ll need to know which day pretty soon to be able to do the swap. When do you think you’ll know by?
I’m hoping tomorrow. If I don’t know by then, then don’t worry about it, and I’ll figure something else out, both with my friend and with a ticket request for later in the season, as I want to take advantage of these at least once.
The tricky thing is that they’ve already reserved this date for us. I’m comfortable swapping, but less so about simply canceling.
Ah, okay, I understand. If I can’t settle the early June dates soon enough, I’ll figure out a date that will work later in the season.
OK – thanks.
Mostly I want to maintain an excellent relationship with the holders for future years, because these really are the sweetest seats.
Yeah, I definitely understand. The seats are amazing. I’m sorry that I even have to swap dates, as that’s already putting a bit of a strain on you. I certainly won’t just cancel and leave you in an awkward spot.
Conversely, this has to be a pretty sweet group to help them with these tickets…
That the attitude towards us I’m hoping to cultivate.
They also have a scalper who wants to buy up all their remaining tickets, but they’d rather they went to fans at face value which is why they gave me a last-call opportunity.
That is really cool…
If you pick something that needs to be “cancelled,” I am sure between us we can fill the void.
Are either of the June giants games available (June 23 or 24 I think)? If either of those are, I can (and would like to) definitely do one of them
Ah never
Ind. I see that they’re all unavailable. I will figure out another date and get back to you
Nope – see here for most-but-not-very-up-to-date latest unavailable list.
At the moment what I’ve done is to ask them to swap your June 16th for JediLeroy’s July 20th (yet to be confirmed) just so I can close this whole set of transactions. I’ll keep you both posted.
Alright, how about June 15 instead? That one works.
That’s Bloomsday.
hi.
andeux: June 17th is available.
Awesome. Will paypal some time in the next couple of days.
Received – thanks!
poppy:
July 8thAugust 18th and September 15th are available.I’m assuming from our email conversation last night that you mean *August 18* and not July 8? (7/8 is the FKsuite game)
That’s what I said ;-)
FINE, edit your comment to make me look stupid! Because I don’t do a good enough job of looking stupid on my own…
Fixed.
brian.only: September 16th is available.
I’ll take em!
This is embarrassing, how do I view your profile for you email address so i can paypal ya?
I clicked your username but I just get directed to your recent posts, do I go to the old country?
I don’t know which parts of the back end who can see … http://freekraut.net/wp-admin/users.php has all the users listed.
That part should be editors only.
if you’d like add gmail to my user to send info.
Sent.
Volleyed, 15 All.
Sent last night did you receive payment?
No … nothing showed up.
Ooops, I messed up your email extension, sorry its been a tough week, already have 7 hrs OT…
Resent and thanks!
Received this time – thanks.
Is August 3 available still?
I will be picking up the tickets and mailing them out this week.
EM & Dial C: I’ll ask about availability later in the season in case the scalper leaves some, and the triplet should become available again in July. I need to close this set of transactions out now though.
Thanks so much again!
Excellent!
Okay, so June 15th was a no-go then?
Too much back-and-forth – the first tickets are for next week, so I need to close it out and get mailing!
awesome that you’re doing this.
All tickets now collected, paid for, and in their envelopes ready to mail out just as soon as I get some stamps!
I’ll be getting a list of any remaining seats some time in the next few weeks, and I’ll put up a new post with those dates and any news on the availability of the triplet then.
Went out in the mail today – hopefully you should all get your tickets early next week.
Woooo!!! Thanks :)
Received, thanks again!
Received, thanks :)
Rec’d
Me too–it’s like Christmas!!!
Saw tonight’s gem from them … FKing gold (and green).
Let me guess, you yelled “NO HITTER” going into the 8th.
More of a constant drone from the 3rd onwards.
just like vince
Kyli alert: Screen-caps of FKers sitting in these seats would be a great post-ASB scavenger hunt item.
