When the online sale occurs is it better to pick "Best Seats Available" or go for a specific seat location? Which one would give a person a better chance to get tickets?

If you go to "Best Available" you will have, I would think, at least a 99% chance (if you are online early) of getting tickets. However, the computer will start with the most expensive seats available, so it probably would offer you Legends.Originally Posted by Jeter_the_Leader
In the alternative, if you don't want Legends, you probably should choose by seating level, like "Field Level," "Terrace level," etc. If you narrow it down too much, such as by price category, you might be narrowing the availability too much and costing yourself precious time with each attempt.
That's my take on it, but someone else might offer another suggestion.

It all depends on how much money you have and how picky you are with seats.. The less picky you are, the greater a chance of getting seats, but the greater the chance of finding $1,000+ seats and not having enough time to try again. Of course, you can always buy those, put them on stubhub for a bit over face value and use the profit to buy decent seats on SH... again a risk if they don't sell.
If you don't have that much money to spend you can choose just to look for the Grandstand, but there is a chance you will get last row in the deep outfield. You can limit it to just the infield grandstand by choosing the more expensive price range in the grandstand, but then you can end up with nothing since ticketmaster will give you best available in the selected area.
It just comes down to how much you want to budget vs how much you want to go to the game. The higher the budget, the less of a risk of ending up with nothing.
I'm going in by price. I looked at the price chart to see which prices overlap the most sections, which would give me a better chance. The $206 and $156 tickets have the most overlapping sections. I believe a ton of folks are going to be chasing grandstands and bleachers. The $206 tickets are the first rows of fields from where legends end to the outfield, the back half of field just behind the last two legend sections, and main infield. The $156 tickets are main outfield and terrace infield.

I'm going for pricey, but not ridiculous, seats. This has given me success in the past.

Your strategies become less effective as more and more people read this thread and adopt your strategies. Or .... could it be that you are not going to use these stated strategies and are merely trying to dupe your fellow forumers???

I knew it!!
So ... what is your REAL strategy? Go for "best available" and try to corner the market on Legends seats?
I am going to have one firefox, safari, internet explorer, and opera browser open and will try to different methods for each browser to see what works. I don't want to click best available and get seats I can't afford. I'm going for bleachers, grandstand, terrace.
Got the same strategy... best available... others searching bleachers /grandstand...

Wait ... that works? I mean opening multiple windows, but each in a different browser, means they don't boot you off for multiple windows?
It's a brave new world.
