Tickets, Tickets, Tickets...who knows what's going on?

One thing I love about the hangout is it's an easy tap into the O's Faithful Knowledge Base.

So what's the deal with tickets for the ALCS?

From what I can tell, the team has already sold ALCS tickets to current season ticket holders AND folks that bought-in on future season plans... correct?

Does anyone know what happens going forward? For the ALDS, the team issued a presale code and had a presale date. Then they had a general public sale a few days later. Will that be happening again? If so...when?

I'm pretty sure when I registered for the presales I checked all 3 boxes for the ALDS, ALCS and WS. Here is what the O's website says for the ALCS:

ALCS REGISTRATION PERIOD BEGINS: 12 p.m. ET, Tuesday, September 9, 2014

ALCS REGISTRATION PERIOD ENDS: 11:59 p.m. ET, Sunday, October 5, 2014

ALCS RANDOM DRAWING: On or around Tuesday, October 7, 2014

ALCS DRAWING WINNERS NOTIFIED VIA E-MAIL BY: By 11:59 p.m. ET, Wednesday, October 8, 2014

ALCS SALE FOR DRAWING WINNERS: Details will be communicated via e-mail notification.

Got it. Thanks for posting that. So, most likely, we'll see a ticket sale on October 9th...

As I stated in a prior thread, I'd assume a "lottery winner" sale will be 10am followed by the already announced pubic sale at noon on Thurs.

Judging by what has been said/announced, it looks something like this:

* Current and 2015 13-game plan holders will receive an email today with pre-sale information. 81 and 29 game plan holders have already had their pre-sales.

* It seems likely these pre-sales will be Tuesday at 10:00 AM (for current 13-game holders) and Tuesday at 2:00 PM (for 2015 13-game holders).

* Last chance to take place in the ALDS pre-sale by putting down a deposit on 2015 season tickets is today at noon.

* Public sale is Thursday at noon.

* Lottery pre-sale seems likely for Thursday at 10:00 AM or possibly Wednesday at 2:00 PM. Thursday at 10:00 AM would give 13-game holders a 48 hour pre-sale window which is normally how they operate with these things.

I've done this for games in the past. Curious what your results were...I assume it was for game 1 or 2 of ALDS?

For Game 1 I got 11th row in 368 for $90 a ticket. I was too slow and missed some better seats for less; I didn't even think I could go, cancelled some meetings...

Not bad at all. Did you print out tickets or use app like passbook?

Might be the only option for me this weekend...

    • Yes. That’s less than 25 million a season on average. Even though the years are a bit long. That’s the going rate for these type of superstar players.  Maybe you can go more AAV in exchange for say a 12 year deal? But at age 22, even at 14 years he’s here until he’s what 37/38? In 10 years 25 mill per won’t be the valued at nearly the same dollar amount in terms of “paying an older possibly declining player”. That contract length also ensures that he is an Oriole for life basically. If Rubenstien’s goal is to restore the franchise’s glory instead of simply making it a competitive franchise. You cannot minimize the value of having these type of franchise cornerstone players/homegrown superstars. We basically haven’t had one (and retained) since Ripken. (Yes I know Machado was one but we let him walk and basically the same with Mussina.)
    • I was looking at the O’s stat page and noticing how high all the OPS+ numbers are.  For example, Cedric Mullins has a .736 OPS but that’s good for a 116 OPS+ right now.  So, I looked around.  Right now, the MLB average OPS is .698.  That’s down from .734 last year, and (for those thinking of a “cold weather” explanation) from .726 last April.    The O’s, on the other hand, have a .780 OPS, compared to .742 last year.  That’s 3rd in MLB and good for an MLB-leading 130 OPS+, compared to 107 last year.    I’m not sure if the hot hitting will continue, but the team has had one heck of a start offensively, in a year where the league has been pretty cold.    
    • I didn’t see Angel Hernandez listed in any of the box scores from yesterday so he may have been the replay official. That would actually be hilarious. 
    • @Tony-OH   It’s early but is Forret possibly a better prospect than DeLeon?  A year younger.  Sounds like velo is similar.  Better control?
    • I wouldn’t hesitate to give him the Witt deal. I would like to get 3 FA years.  That’s my best case scenario and after that, the opt outs start.
    • At this point Gunnar is the most valuable asset in baseball right? I guess you could argue Witt Jr or De La Cruz. I sure as heck wouldn’t trade him for anybody.
    • @Tony-OHhave you had a chance to see or hear anything about Cam Weston yet? Is there real upside or is this an older guy who's maybe more advanced than his league?
