    Yeah, I'm looking for cheaper alternatives for trips this year - things that don't involve flying. A couple of my buddies did this fest before and volunteered. They said they just showed up and signed up. Ended up pouring beer the entire weekend while drinking for free, getting drunk and passing out in the middle of a field all weekend.

    I hear you, man. Definitely hit Cooperstown then. Camp out up there. Great time. I always thought about volunteering at it, but never did. Probably the way to go.

    i've already got my spot on the parade route locked up.

    You've had that spot locked up for the last 2 years, still waiting? Must be getting cold out there.

    locked in at the right time. :mrgreen: i'm expecting to get at least one other usage out of it in the next few years.

    haha, I hear you. Not an unreasonable expectation.

    On a side note, why do teams weigh contracts so heavily at the end? You would think they would want to get it out of the way in a players best years so they can possibly move them down the road if they have to. Lee's fucking option year is for $27.5 mil. That's a fucking lot.

    Best kept secret: Mifflin St. Not too packed, and right near the South Philly Tap Room. Maybe I'm missing the point of a parade, but I enjoyed actually being fairly close to the players when they went by.

    I agree. I usually try to get pain out of the way in my personal life, but I guess they don't think that way.

    I bet the seats suck though

    I was talking about it earlier...I would pull up 3 games with good seats but then the other 3 nose bleed

    There isn't a bad seat in that place. Well, there sorta is - the seats up top on the third base side (430-ish I guess) where they bend around. You can't see part of left field there and they really squeeze you in.

    Damn. Other than the individual tix they're holding onto, and possibly group tickets, that's a complete sell out for the year. Crazy.

    This is awesome. I am definitely not taking this team for granted - cherishing every god damn second of this. I can't believe the character that's on this team.... http://www.the700level.com/2010/12/quot ... .html#more

    Eerie, there will be single tix onsale later on. I think in February perhaps...I think. And there's always standing room that go onsale they day-of games - always a good choice. And there's Stub Hub that you can check out the day-of as well for almost face value.

    phantom....think i spoke too soon. :lol: just for the hell of it i put in the first 6 games on the pick'em package and that was the only one that popped up.

    they cap the season tickets at 28,000 though......so there will be somewhere around 15,000 for each game available once individual games go on sale.

    kinda miss the days where plenty of tickets were always available. oh well. i'm signing up for the '12 season ticket waiting list :lol::lol:
