It would have been physically impossible to get thru any faster then I did it and I still got shut out for opening day. Wasnt a complete loss since I got some tickets for Redsox games and one of the Mets games, but I really wanted opening day this year!

I have gotten screwed over as today is the season ticket holder pre-sale and I wanted to get tickets to opening day (my plan doesn't get opening day). I tried to sign on this morning here at work and ticketmaster.com is refusing my connection. WTF?!?!? It is working on my cell phone but try buying tickets on a Treo 700p - next to impossible. In any case, I am pretty annoyed right now. Yes, final game tickets are sold out.

I've been going to YS for 40+ years and i want to say my goodbyes, but i wont support the profiteering. Too bad they didnt hand out chips to the fans that came in 1972 or 1989 games, when they were drawing 18,000 to a weeknight game, chips that we could hand in now to get the tickets for the final games. i hope i get some tickets when they go on sale. i wont buy them unless i get them directly, i wont pay all that money, and i dont want to support this secondary ticket market that is preventing regular fans from attending games.
