Roll call for AT&T Park Games 1 & 2

i can’t justify paying the stubhub prices right now. the scalper prices close to game time will be better, probably not much better, but they will be better. i guess with stubhub you guarantee yourself getting in well prior to the event, which is nice, but still, it is beyond fing ridiculous right now.

I’m in San Diego, booked a southwest flight to SF last week for games 1 and 2 just in case (I can cancel and use the funds later if I don’t go). But I didn’t realize ticket prices would be THIS outta control…now I know haha. I was ready to pay $500 or so for a decent seat….but all the decent seats seem >$1000 right now. Not ready to fork that much over and $500 for a SRO doesn’t sound fun to me.

So we’ll see. I’m hoping they’ll drop but i doubt they’ll drop that much. When you add in airfare + hotel + seats at these prices, it’s pretty damn expensive. If i lived there it’d be a lot easier to craiglist / find scalpers the day of the game i think.

Family in dallas has tickets to game 5 though…so worst case i’ll fly in for that and try to hit up game 4 as well.

be spending $500 for a SRO ticket but I definitely don’t mind meeting up for the games.

I’ll be visiting friends in the Bay Area during games 3 & 4. I’d love to meet up if everyone hasn’t gone to Texas. Not sure yet if that will mean trying to convince them to join ( they’re Texans who are not that into sports but are into drinking, so there may be a match) or ditching them for a few hours.

Long time Rangers fan here…grew up in the Metroplex, been out in SF for about a year.

Read LSB almost daily for the last 3 to 4 years…and love the site. Thanks to Adam, GoET, and others for giving this moocher entertainment and insight for all this time. Thanks to Josey and Sharky for being douchey.

Anyway…there’s no way that I can afford these tickets in SF, but I’ve been rooting for Giants / Rangers since about July. It’ll be fun to watch these games at the bars here.

Would anyone like to designate a place for Game 3? I usually hang out in the Mission or SOMA near my work. Locals may be able to suggest a better place or I can start throwing stuff out there. In any case, it would be fun to watch the game with people that know baseball…especially RANGERS BASEBALL!

but don’t have a game ticket yet. I’m only planning on going if there is going to be a game 7—I’m hoping the Rangers will have won by then but I’ll gladly take it whenever it happens and would love to meet up with other Rangers fans either at the game or to (hopefully) celebrate afterwards before the return flight to Dallas the next morning if that’s how it happens. I am in the market for a game 7 ticket by the way…don’t want to totally break the bank, but i understand that i will have to pay market price.

I got the early flight tomorrow morning at 8:15am to SF. So I’ll be there basically all day walking around pissing off Giants fans with my new claws I cut off of a bear costume my buddy had. He’s an Angels fan so whatever.

I’m thinking about just trying to get hit by a car and exchange ticket $$$ for my not pressing charges against whatever knucklehead San Fran motorist I choose.

I’m heading up there by myself and would love to rally somewhere with some real fans. I don’t know SF that well but let’s pick a place to be!!!!

I was one of 5 rangers fans in the LF bleachers (but I was at the game alone). Most of the Giants fans were okay. A few young guys in front looked like they wanted to get kind of frisky towards the eighth but the giants fans immediately surrounding me told them to shut up and they did. Mostly I just had to not look like I was trying to hide my affiliation cause that would have just made things worse.

The Caltrain ride home was a bit of a beating. I started off in a jacket but it was 100 degrees in there so when the Rangers jersey appeared, I got jeered pretty bad. I was the only rangers fan on my particular car.

Game one was good for us because we were 4 rows behind Nolan, JD, and Chuck..plenty of police presence….I did not hide my colors at all….Actually talked to JD and Chuck, but you couldn’t get close to Nolan…Got pelted with beer on the way down to my seat during the meltdown in game 2, and some chick screamed at the top of her lungs in my ear(literally an inch from my ear) on the way down the ramps FUCK Texas repeatedly, which was very annoying. If it had been a dude, probably would have gotten really pissed…But most of the jeering was Fuck Texas, Texas Sucks, Go back to Texas, just normal stuff which was nothing…I definently won’t hesitate to jeer Giants fans in Texas, that’s for sure…I know that there was violence, saw some fans getting cuffed, and heard they pushed some Ranger fans down some stairs….
