I find it very annoyed that better seats are now available than I was allowed to purchase as a plan holder.

I understand the feeling but as I mentioned earlier in this thread - as someone who can't reasonably buy a season plan I was frustrated that there were basically no tickets left for anyone else. It's a delicate balance, there is no way for them to please everyone...

For the same reason, I can't get down there on less than 24 hours notice, or I'd be snatching a pair of these right now.

I'm fine with them holding back seats for the public sale. I just wish they'd let me pick better seats and then sold whatever didn't get picked.

I just bought 2 tickets for game 2 left field upper reserve, $100 each.

I'm going to a game!

Whoa - I wouldn't have even checked for Game 2 if you hadn't said this. Saturday gives me enough time to plan on how I'm gonna get down there so....I scored a couple as well! Assuming I can work out the logistics I'll be in section 308!

Going to a playoff game for the first time since 1997! :2yay-thumb:

Orioles are starting to release seats for game 1 on line. Club box seats are currently available.

Thank you very much for the heads up. I was already planning on making the trip and keeping an eye on stub hub on the way. You saved me a lot of stress since I just snagged 4 in section 58.

I basically spent an extra hundred bucks this afternoon on eBay for seats very similar to a pair that I just got to pop up on the O's site. Grrrr... You never know when these will come up, though.

    • First, the had a jump in 23’ given how terrible they had been previously, which conditions many fans in the marketplace not to care. They simple weren’t relevant for years. So one very good regular season will not undue years of being bad/irrelevant and treating your customers terribly. Next, I think they missed an opportunity in the offseason by not doing enough by way of big/bold attention grabbing moves. Now I acknowledge that this was most likely due to the ownership flux/transition. I believe they got an attendance/marketplace engagement boost when they changed owners and when they traded for Burnes. However, I believe we would have seen more engagement attendance with say a big Gunnar extension and/or bringing in a big time FA.   IMO this would have created more buzz before the season (say around the time people make season tix decisions - IMO before Christmas is when some people make those bigger purchases). All of this is to say, that it will take time and effort on the organizations part because of how bad of a stain that the Angeloses left. I still have friends and colleagues who refuse to support the Orioles and attend games due to the damage that was done. Rubenstien & co are not going to be able to undo 30 years of awfulness overnight. But IMO it is not enough to simply call it “a new chapter”. They have to make new/different actions to distinguish themselves from who the Orioles were/used to be under the Angelos regime.
    • Just checking in on Gameday, Yankees looking incredibly vulnerable.  Should be the Os out there.  Super lame.  Whichever team wins this series I hope gets knocked out by CLE or DET.
    • If the franchise were better, the fan base would be too.  It’s been a rough 40 years.
    • It also means we don’t have to trade our prospect capital to acquire him 
    • Machado just hit a 2 run home run off of Yamamoto.  I hope the Orioles young players are taking notes.
    • Yeah it was priced initially the same as the ALDS games, same as last year. Nobody was rushing to pay those prices. And by the time the tickets reached appropriate levels, by the Orioles lowering their prices or the secondary market coming down in price, fans have like 24 hours to figure out their plans to attend a mid afternoon game. It’s just not worth getting upset about — we still had an awesome crowd and the only thing missing was an offense to ignite it.
