Just had to come on here and vent for a moment. As a resident of Alabama, MLB opened a lottery drawing for tickets to the Giants/Cardinals game at Rickwood Field on June 20th. I think the total capacity is about 10k. You can imagine my surprise when I received an email this morning when I check my email and see that I won the lottery and had a code to order up to 2 tickets. I was a little bit surprised to see they were $275-400 but I thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime deal. I went ahead to order 2 tickets. It didn’t matter which section I tried. It would keep telling me that seats matching my request were not available. I tried to just get one ticket, it opened up the number of available sections but it still wouldn’t let me add even one to my cart.
I know they were available because sections slowly disappearing from availability. I’m so aggravated that I went from pumped about being able to get tickets to having website problems and not being able to order.
Oh well, maybe I’ll be able to get tickets next time MLB comes to Alabama in about 40 years. I’m certainly not buying tickets on the second hand market.
