ptbnl’s front row seats 88

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:

  1. andeux – June 17th PAID & RECEIVED
  2. JediLeroy – July 20th PAID & RECEIVED
  3. batgirl – July 30th PAID & RECEIVED
  4. vignette17 – August 5th PAID & RECEIVED
  5. poppy – August 18th & September 15th PAID & RECEIVED
  6. 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.

      Woo Hoo!!! Is your paypal address the same as your email in your profile?

      Thanks so much–I’m super excited!

        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.

        • ptbnl May 21,2012 11:47 am || Up

          I’ll check.

    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!

    • ptbnl May 20,2012 11:21 pm || Up

      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.

        (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

                  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.

                  I doubt they’ll budge

                  They shouldn’t have to budge – that’s not on the unavailable list at present.

                • JediLeroy May 21,2012 8:08 pm || Up

                  Does “requested” mean “available”? If so, I’ll paypal you right away.

                • ptbnl May 21,2012 8:11 pm || Up

                  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.

    Dial C for Concupiscence: June 16th is available.

    If this is His will, He's a son of a bitch.
    • Dial C for Concupiscence May 22,2012 5:54 pm || Up

      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.

      • ptbnl May 22,2012 6:50 pm || Up

        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?

        If this is His will, He's a son of a bitch.
        • Dial C for Concupiscence May 23,2012 4:08 pm || Up

          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.

          • ptbnl May 23,2012 4:36 pm || Up

            The tricky thing is that they’ve already reserved this date for us. I’m comfortable swapping, but less so about simply canceling.

            If this is His will, He's a son of a bitch.
            • Dial C for Concupiscence May 23,2012 4:39 pm || Up

              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.

              • ptbnl May 23,2012 4:41 pm || Up

                OK – thanks.

                Mostly I want to maintain an excellent relationship with the holders for future years, because these really are the sweetest seats.

                • Dial C for Concupiscence May 23,2012 4:44 pm || Up

                  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.

                • Leopold Bloom May 23,2012 7:13 pm || Up

                  Conversely, this has to be a pretty sweet group to help them with these tickets…

                • ptbnl May 23,2012 7:35 pm || Up

                  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.

                • Leopold Bloom May 23,2012 7:41 pm || Up

                  That is really cool…

                • Future Ed May 23,2012 7:48 pm || Up

                  If you pick something that needs to be “cancelled,” I am sure between us we can fill the void.

                  I have $5. No I don\'t.
                • Dial C for Concupiscence May 24,2012 9:19 pm || Up

                  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

                • Dial C for Concupiscence May 24,2012 9:26 pm || Up

                  Ah never
                  Ind. I see that they’re all unavailable. I will figure out another date and get back to you

                • ptbnl May 24,2012 9:30 pm || Up

                  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.

    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.
