I did finally find a "Beta" sight that after about twenty minutes let me buy two marginal seats for more than they should have cost, plus $6.50 per, plus a $10 parking pass and $2.50 for them to Email them to me.<br /><br />The strange thing is, most Braves game are at best 70% full. I can't figure out why they make it this hard.<br /><br />As an aside, back in the late 80's and early 90's my firm had season tickets, twenty rows up directly behind the plate. $17 per. The marginal seats I bought today were in the mid-sixties before the extras.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411527807049220749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34867261.post-4621296349201088722011-05-10T15:39:45.984-04:002011-05-10T15:39:45.984-04:00A far cry from when Bill Veeck owned the St. Louis...A far cry from when Bill Veeck owned the St. Louis Browns. Someone would call up and say, "What time is the game?" and Veeck would answer, "What time can you get here?"<br /><br />I know the Cubs set up their own ticket scalpers... er, <i>brokers</i> so they could squeeze even more money out of desperate ticket seekers. Do Los Bravos have a similar arrangement?The Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14723009641287783218noreply@blogger.com
