2010 Regular Season Ticket Pickups

[Ram Man]

I hope not. That bugged me, people with Staten Island Yankees getting first dibs before NY Yankee holders.

Shouldn't ALL Yankee season ticket holders, regardless of major/minor league level be treated the same?

[ThaKoolAidKid]

Shouldn't ALL Yankee season ticket holders, regardless of major/minor league level be treated the same?

Hey! Don't be taking my wordage out of contextary! I did mean all New York Yankee season holders should be equal, I said nothing of minor leaguers. But very nice turning it around on me.

[Yankee Bouge]

Shouldn't ALL Yankee season ticket holders, regardless of major/minor league level be treated the same?

Sure... the guy who paid $200 for his season tickets should definitely get the same privileges as the guy who paid $20,000 for his tickets. That seems fair...

[Ram Man]

But very nice turning it around on me.

You're welcome.

[Tommy1961]

Ticketmaster probably has it wrong...but here is what the page has:

Ticket Limit
THERE IS A FOUR (4) TICKET LIMIT PER PERSON FOR PREMIUM GAMES. PREMIUM GAMES CONSIST OF OPENING DAY, OLD TIMER'S DAY, AND ALL GAMES BETWEEN THE RED SOX, METS & PHILLIES.

ALL OTHER GAMES HAVE A NINETEEN (19) TICKET LIMIT.

You CAN ADD the Astros games to the list as prime games

[YankeeDJ7]

You CAN ADD the Astros games to the list as prime games

not sure I follow......but per the yankees link, the Astros are not considered a "premium" game and therefore 19 ticket limit not 4

[Mattdoc]

I think Arod is supposed to get #600 against Houston, if you believe all the projections.
Not sure if the Mariano give away makes it a premium.

[BronxYanks45]

Not sure if the Mariano give away makes it a premium.

I was trying to project when Mariano would get 500, fell short. its hard to predict

[Mattdoc]

I meant they are giving away a Mariano statuette on the Friday night game vs Houston.

So looks like it's 99.9% sure new accounts are not going to get a crack at tomorrow's pre-onsale, as passwords have not been loaded into new accounts. All other plan holders will jump into the ring at noon sharp tomorrow.

What are your top games to get tomorrow?

Mine are:
1) Opening Day 4/13 tue
2) Saturday Subway Series 6/19
3) Final Sunday Red Sox 9/26
4) Old Timer's Day 7/17 sat
5) Bat Day 5/16 sun

[StingrayJG]

I still never got an email for the presale, but I have my presale password in my account. Hopefully it'll be ok tomorrow.

I'm going to go for a pair for Opening Day and as long as they're not between the bases or otherwise outrageously priced, I'll take them.

Not expecting to get these all but this is the order I will be trying for tickets. Will be having computer, laptop, and blackberry going at once. Does anyone know if I can use my aol browswer and also internet explorer at the same time on a computer?

[BBombers85]

It's going to be a dog fight.

Do we know what dates the $5 games are yet?

[dadrumma]

Nope, Im just gonna try and go after them after I get the other games, unless someone does it before, then I go after them haha

[ThaKoolAidKid]

4 tickets to one of the Red Sox games, no preference.

I already got a good amount of games in my 20.2 plan. Not gonna go for broke like I did last year.

[JimmyA]

I avoid Boston games like the plague. Too many jerk Red Sox fans to deal with. I do, however, sell any Red Sox games in my plan at a sizeable profit to people around here who can't get tickets at Fenway.

(BTW, just in case any of you don't know this, for the average Red Sox fan, getting tickets at Fenway is like finding the Ark of the Covenant. I know high school and college-age kids who have never been there because of ticket availability and who hope to go there someday in their pitiful lives.)

It goes both ways really, if the Yankees are winning than the Yankees fan rides the Red Sox fan and vice versa. I enjoy them because normally they mean something, thats why Im going for the last game, it should be a huge series. And about getting tickets for Fenway, a friend of mine whos a red sox fan said that if you get there early or stay over near the ticket window, they release like 5,000 tickets or something like that every game

I used both Internet Explorer and Firefox on the same computer for Yankees/Mariners tickets through ticketmaster on Saturday and it worked.

[sorianoNY12]

does today feel like Christmas morning to anybody else? if you answer yes, i think we have serious issues

[BBombers85]

It's insane.
Christmas now, Funeral in a month when the bill comes.

By the way, the times have been changed to 12:43PM to 9:17PM today.

It was worth a shot, I was more taking a jab at the Yankees for their odd timing this year.

Maybe people complained about the 10 am, or maybe TM was having another big sale at 10 am and didn't want to jam the servers even more. I'm expecting a crapload of waiting time messages starting at about 10:02 am. If you don't have 2 games in hand by then it's going to be a long lunch break

Hmmm, you may be right. I'm so cynical I didn't even think that maybe TM or the Yankees did something to help the fans.

[sorianoNY12]

the 4 ticket limit for premium games, is that per game or spread across all of them?

[ThaKoolAidKid]

Four per game.

Is anyone sure running IE and FF at the same time won't lock you out? All I need is a 10 minute lockout for trying something different.

[RayG]

As for new plan holders, I don't THINK they get a crack. When I first bought my plan (2005/2006), I contacted the office when I didn't receive my pre-sale password. I was told that I was exempt because I was a newbie. But I WOULD have access to playoff pre-sales.

[Yankees51]

In 2007 I didn't have presale password either had to wait until postseason.

[Yankees51]

My blackberry doesn't seem to want to access anything. Does anyone know if aol and internet explorer run the same browser?

[kobak8]

I gotta ask - anybody have a password they don't plan on using?

[dadrumma]

I gotta ask - anybody have a password they don't plan on using?

even if they did, its probably not in the best interest to use it because the tickets will show up on that persons yankees ticket account and then they can do whatever they want with them. just a word of advice

[OctoberPride]

T-20 minutes....

This is the part I hate. The waiting.

[ThaKoolAidKid]

So yay or nay on using FF and IE on the same PC? Does anyone know if that will lock me out?

Think Tom Petty was on sale this morning at 10

[jlevin]

Not sure, I usually use FF. I just pray I get something for opening day.

[tpan413]

My guess is yay

[tpan413]

Opening Day is my birthday so if you can all hold off on buying tickets until I get mine it would be greatly appreciated. I will post here when I am done

[jlevin]

I'm actually also hoping the passwords work. I remember a couple years back the password I got didn't even work and I couldn't get through to the Yankees to figure out what went wrong. When they finally told me there was an error with the password and ticketmaster it was too late.

[ThaKoolAidKid]

<4 minutes. Good luck to everyone. Meet you back here at 12:15 to talk about how good we all made out.

[GordonGecko]

locked and loaded

[OctoberPride]

Panic time

[NYYStadiumInsider]

D'oh! Was a dumbass and got hard tix for opening day!

Scored two in section 409, row 7.

[BBombers85]

Geez..there's...nothing

[JohnnyOcho]

Got what I wanted - 2 GS for 6/18 (NYM) and 2GS for 9/24 (BOS).

[tpan413]

Had 122 Row 24 for opening day but turned them down. $300 each too much for me. Now nothing

[jlevin]

Scored OPENING DAY!

329, Row 9
