Still waiting on individual game tickets

I’ve gotten a lot of emails lately asking when individual game tickets go on sale. The short answer is, I don’t know. The better answer is, probably not until the middle of March.
Last year, individual game tickets didn’t go on sale to the general public until March 24. Some individual tickets could be purchased one day earlier, on the 23rd, but only for fans who were selected through a random online drawing. Registration for that drawing didn’t begin until March 14.
When I checked with the Yankees about ticket sales for 2010, I was told that the team expects to follow a similar schedule, “but that’s not set in stone.”
Stay tuned. We’ll have something on the blog as soon as the team makes a ticket sales announcement.

i’m not buying tickets this year because the yankees chose randy winn over johnny damon.
Who’s johnny damon?
I’m sure someone else will buy that ticket.
I’m sure the yankees will sure miss your $5.00 ticket purchase. I might even cost the Yanks a chance at signing Lee and Crawford.
I’m guessing that was a joke. Lighten up, peeps.
If it is the same whatever that has been around here for the past couple weeks it probably is not a joke
Stephen,
Nope. “whatever” has not taken the Damon non-signing very well at all.
Also if anyone else is not buying tickets this year, can you please promise not to do so from StubHub either? That would be great, so there is less competition when I am trying to pick up some last minute tickets.
I’m with you “let’s go yankees”!
If I got my back up every time one of my boys was traded, I would ne permanently calcified.
My mantra is “seriously, trisha, the organization knows more than you do.” It helps chill me out.
It’s a shame that whatever has already decided that the 2010 team is not going to be competitive and entertaining. His loss will be someone else’s game.
While I don’t think the front office is somehow immune from making mistakes, I do agree with Trisha in that they have far more information about what’s going on that we’ll ever have. And through the years since free agency, you just get used to the comings and goings that happen with far too much frequency sometimes (and sometimes not quickly enough!). It’s why in spite of having favorite players, you learn to “root for the laundry.”
Any news release on what the Advance sale is?
Or someone else’s GAIN. But game works, too.
I love Damon and his leaving is a big blow… so yes I’m upset.
Great post last thread Ms. Tricia.
whatever -
It’s obviously up to you if you choose to no longer buy a ticket, but are you saying that Johnny Damon was the only player on the Yankees you would pay to see?
whatever, you have to process this in any way that works for you but let me tell you from history. All you do is punish yourself. I went through something similar when Wells was traded for Clemens. I was actually on firmer ground than you are because Wells wasn’t given a choice. And he was one hell of a pitcher with many good years left. His skills were not on the decline, like those of Damon (certainly defensive skills), and he didn’t have the opportunity to go back to the Yankees. What I found is that I remained annoyed for the entire next season and Wells was still gone. So I only ended up aggravating myself.
Why you would turn against the Yankees because your particular favorite is not returning doesn’t make sense to me – not that it has to. But there wasn’t universal opinion that Damon should be brought back. There were also people who weren’t unhappy to see him go.
Davud Wells, Jeff Nelson, Bobby Abreu, Melky Cabrera, Hideki Matsui, these are just some of players whose leaving really affected me. I learned after the Wells trade that what I thought didn’t really matter and that the Yankees were about trying to win, whether I agreed with their decisions or didn’t.
So I chose to remain a Yankee fan in good standing and display some semblance of intellingence as opposed to present myself as some sort of self-indulgent spoil sport (which is what I looked like, I am sure, when Wells was traded.)
Thanks, Bronx Born. It was soooo much fun. It allowed me one of my greatest joys – taking shots at the Red Suxers!!!
whatever, whatever.
“I learned after the Wells trade that what I thought didn’t really matter and that the Yankees were about trying to win”
if they were about trying to win then they wouldnt have choose winn over damon.
CLEMENS WAS BETTER THAN WELLS… Winn is not better than Damon.
Whatever — but Granderson is better than Johnny at this point in his career.
Thank goodness for StubHub, I can buy tickets during my 10 day break in between bootcamp and mos school.
Gotta love it, cheap tickets and great sections.
But whatever, if you read the piece the Rishi copied earlier today, it becomes fairly clear that Damon wanted no part of the Yankees except under his own terms. He was not negotiating in good faith. The Yankees made the overtures and were rebuffed several times, including a “last minute” effort to try and work something out. It seems to me the Yankees worked overtime to try and get something done with Damon (it cost them Matsui, likely), and Damon was not having any of it.
“Whatever — but Granderson is better than Johnny at this point in his career.”
when it comes to winning, I disagree.. when Granderson learns how to hit lefties and performs like Damon did in the post season, then we’ll talk.
Besides, they are different kind of players. I prefer players like Damon. Granderson is more like Cano, than Damon.
Doreen-
The muffins were a giant hit!! Thanks fot the imput. And the paper liners turned out fine. I actually removed them last night to roll them in the cinnamon sugar. I had sprayed them with Pam and sprinkled them with flour and nothing stuck.
“if they were about trying to win then they wouldnt have choose winn over damon.”
Uh no. They didn’t choose Winn over Damon. They chose Winn. Damon was no longer even in contention. What didn’t you understand about “The book was closed on Damon a long time ago.” That was a quote from Cashman.
Granderson is head and shoulders over Damon. You might not have noticed but the Yankees improved their defense in the OF and also got a player who can play every day – unlike Damon. You also may not have noticed that Damon is hardly an ever-day player, and even when he does play his two steps late getting to balls in the outfield. He’s a liability worse than ever at this point. And the Yankees just weren’t offense-weak enough to hang around and play his game. The guy is a few years away from 40 for God sake!
You know what – you have the right to do whatever you want to. I don’t spend my time indulging things that I consider as off base as I consider your argument to be.
I’m THRILLED with the 2010 Yankees and realize more than ever that if Damon was half the player you paint him out to be, teams would be lined up at his door.
I think the Yankee fan base will be fine without your support. Can I have your tickets?
Erica -
I’m so glad they turned out well!
If Granderson was more like Cano, I’d have no problems. As a matter of fact, if the Yankees had 9 starting players like Cano, that would start the offense at 225 homers, 27 triples, 438 doubles, 927 runs scored, 765 RBI, 1836 hits and a collective .320 average, and close to 9 Gold Gloves.
Granderson is one of the best, most productive center fielders in baseball. I’ll take the bat, legs, glove contract and age over Damon any day.
Well said Trisha!
Whatever, whatever.
Let’s go Yankees! WS #28!
In a down year for Granderson last year he put up a 3.4 WAR.
In arguably Damon’s best season last year he put up a 3.0 WAR.
Wait till Granderson is playing half his games in YS instead of Comerica and is hitting in the Yankees lineup.
As far as Damon being a winner, he didn’t win squat in his first 6 years, either. He didn’t win squat for the first 9 years, actually.
Seems like Reed Johnson and Melvin Mora are about to be off the table. If Cash is interested in a RH OF, then he’s down to Marcus Thames and Rocco Baldelli.
I think Oblivious and Whatever are the same person. Nobody’s ever seen them together.

Mora would have been my preference of the remaining FAs.
I think your observation is exactly correct GB. I have never seen them together either.
From MLB-Rumors-R-Us. Take it for what it’s worth.
•The Dodgers are among the teams that have reviewed Chien-Ming Wang’s medical records, according to a tweet from Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times. Recently, ESPN’s Jayson Stark pegged the Dodgers as a possible destination for the 29-year-old.
Would anyone consider Wily Mo Pena?

Like Clark Kent/Superman, Bruce Wayne/Batman or, Princess Diana/Diana Prince/Wonder Woman.
I’ll bet on the last. Come on Princess, click your magic bracelets and jump in your invisable plane.
“Granderson is more like Cano, than Damon.”
I loved Wonder Woman… She gets my vote.
Did you ever hear the joke about Wonder Woman and Superman? Well, Superman was flying his invisible plane, and saw Wonder Woman lounging on the beach…
Nah, can’t tell the rest here.
Individual game tickets like Chad said are probably a ways away. They have not yet begun dealing with upgrades for season ticket holders.

No kidding. Lynda Carter was one of the mosy beautiful women on TV back then. Right there with Barbara Eden.
Randy Winn will be the recipient of at least one cream pie for a walkoff / game winning hit at the Stadium in 2010.
The same applies for Curtis Granderson and Nick Johnson.
Correction:
Mosy = Most.
Speaking of mosy…I’m going to mosey over to the Barkley Ranch and peek in Audra’s window.
And what about Elizabeth Montgomery GB?
Lynda Carter was caliente!
And, er, that joke is widely available on the web, should anyone want to search for it, but this is a family friendly blog. Wouldn’t want Chad to ban me.
I’m sure it’s been said, but the ’10 Yankees are probably a 100+ win team, and I am tired of the crying that they cut ties with aging players that they replaced with younger quality players (everyone seems to be forgetting that Granderson is 26 and that Damon ended the WS on the bench because of yet another issue with his legs, or that Matsui, despite being MVP, couldn’t play in Phili because his knees would blow up like a balloon).
This team is at least as good as last year’s, especially since they start the season with the 1-4 in the rotation set with quality experienced arms, and with A-Rod at 3B. That’s a lot better than last year, not to even start with how Wang pitched….
They Yankees retooled nicely. The starting rotation is deep. The outfield has options upon options – flexibility abounds. The bullpen is ok, and should be ok come playoff time. Cervelli seems to be ok as backup to Posada.
Frankly the only area of ‘concern’ is if one of the infielders goes down with an extended injury, and there’s not much to do about that as their offensive production is not replaceable via utility backup, only their defensive contribution. But that’s manageable risk considering the offensive output from the infield as a whole.

Definately, when the show started, but, she didn’t age well as the show went on. On Petticoat Junction only Kate and Uncle Joe were less than stunning.
granderson will be 29 in march
KhanArtist-
I definitely agree, Jennings has done a wonderful job so far.

True GB.. but I could never watch that show, it annoyed me for some reason (Petticoat Junction).
In six months you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone here who will be not overwhelmed by the All-star caliber play of Curtis Granderson…..Much like Mark Texeria last season, as many here were pissing and moaning about him as they are about Curtis……All the skeptics will have disappeared like they did with Texeria

Granderson will be 29 before opening day, its still quite a bit younger than Damon though.

It was country eye candy, like the Beverly Hillbillies. Same as Green acres.
Speaking of “Green Acres”, I have a copy of Pinkard and Bowden doing “Green Acres” as it would be done by Jimi Hendrix. It’s hilarious.
I would love to hear that GB! Sounds great. I hear ya on the eye candy, but as ear candy it suffered. BH was another thing all together.
Hold on-Granderson’s good, but Texeira is better. I expect a good year from Grandy, 280 average, 360 OBP, 30 HR’s, but not like Tex.
Granderson’s best years will be in a Yankee Uniform…..Texeria is on track for Cooperstown
Jetes is on SNL right now ( its the sports special).

Agreed. Couldn’t change the channel fast enough when B.H. came on. Green Acres was OK though. Just OK. Couldn’t get into ‘country eye candy’ until Dukes of Hazard.
“Granderson will be 29 before opening day, its still quite a bit younger than Damon though.”
Huh, I thought that 26 sounded too young, but I could have sweared that I had read he was only 26. 28 makes more sense, and 29 by opening day still means he’s in his prime.
if ya gonna talk about ole time tee vee eye candy, then can I get a amen for Julie Newmar as Catwoman and Diana Rigg as Emma Peel.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Pat m,
Hoping that Granderson will have a KG or Gasol type of ripple effect.
Still can’t believe we “stole” one from the C’s today.
Limewire.com is a free music and movie download system. They have free downloads and sharing, they also have paid versions. It’s a good system and the companies/artists get their money. It’s available there.
Limewire is good. But be careful, it’ll hog your system resources. Make sure it’s not running when you don’t want it to.
m, great game today & Kobe’s fade away jumper just silenced the Boston ( something / or whatever it’s called nowadays ) Garden……
i actually watched a good part of the Lakers game today. Thought of you guys. Did LA ever even have the lead in the game until they won? (I didn’t see the beginning.)
Doreen,
Led all the way until 5 minutes left in the first half. Celtics led until 7 seconds left in the game. There was a 25 point swing from the Lakers to the Celtics.
Pat,
Did you notice that Pau was rushing? His passing was terrible today. Threw it right into the defenders hands point blank. Okay, I’ll stop complaining about Pau now.
Thanks,m.
It was a happy ending.
Doreen,
It was! Paul Allen, er, Ray Allen (?) had a chance at the buzzer, but his 3pt attempt clanged off the rim.
Can’t believe tom. is February 1st. Let the countdown begin.

http://roostershamblin.wordpress.com/ would you please spend a few minutes of your time and check out my new blog. I am a farmer who has been raising more than 50 breeds of chickens for forty years.
Rooster, That’s more info about eggs that I need to know….
That’s about the best chicken related blog I’ve encountered yet.
Thanks Rooster Shamblin!
Some pretty useful information there, Rooster Shamblin.
Rooster Shamblin? Chickens for pets? Seriously?
Sorry, but the only chicken I’m interested in comes off a grill. Nite, all.
Okay m and Doreen stop gloating over the Lakers beating the Celtics!!!
Just kidding. Celtics have not looked very good the last couple of weeks.
Can anyone recommend a blog about chickens> I’ve been looking four hours on the internets to no avail.
I can’t believe I just spent the last 15 mins. reading about chickens.

Anthopoulos GM Toronto spoke with Boras, who is asking for 7M for 1 year for Damon. The Blue Jays need a lead off hitter and left fielder, but the price is too steep. So they wait for his price to fall.
Question: If Damon signs anywhere for 7M, isn’t that what the Yankees offered x’s 2? Why, is Damon/Boras so stupid this offseason?
Where is the link for that info about Damon?
I’m one of the 55!
Believe it or not, I’ve heard chickens really do make good pets. That one’s no urban legend.

Toronto considering Damon and Delgado
Thanks, Salty!
Well, that’s only $1 million off of what Cash basically offered, but that’s a big million to Damon. He’s gone now and at this point, I don’t care where he goes.
http://www.Fanhouse.com sorry for the typo!
Loved looking at emma peel, even if she never did
Betsy
Why is Boras only asking for 1 yr? Might he think Damon will be trying to come back to the Yankees? Surely Cashman isn’t crazy!
Salty, because no team is going to give Damon 2. If any team gives him even 1 year at $7, they are stupid because they’d be likely bidding against themselves
I culod raed it so I gesus I hvae a gerat mnid!
Damon has burnt his bridges with the Yankees, his interview about Jeter not being asked nest yr to take a 45% paycut won’t go over well with the front office. If he keeps comparing himself to Jeter, he’ll keep coming up short.
Yankees have moved on, I don’t think the shell shock of that has allowed him to come back to earth!
Joba’s doing an interview on NBC right now. He looks good.
