May i ask how much the world series tickets are supposed to start at range wise?

My upper box seats are $225 per ticket for the World Series. $110 for the ALCS, and $65 for the Wild Card series and ALDS.

During the regular season, the elite price was $37 per tickets (Opening Day and a couple others).

Ok. 

How long have you had your plan and what level is it?

They are doing 2 hour windows so it sounds like I got the first window and you got the second.

No it isn't. No real markup from 2016 either.

If you buy a flex plan, you get 15% or 20% off the list price for whatever seats you pick.   And there is NO service charge of any type for purchasing tickets.

I think some seats are excluded from purchase via the flex plan, usually seats that are on sale via some other "special" such as the $10 weeknight bleacher deal or something.

I bought the $1200 flex plan.   When I wanted to go to a game I logged into my birdland member account and bought tickets using that plan.   The seats were presented to me with the discounted price.   I just clicked on the seats I wanted and bought them.   They were delivered to my account and the $ was subtraced from my  $1200 balance.   When I finally hit the balance and went over by a few bucks, I had to put in credit card info to cover the overage from my last purchase (but I still got the discount).

You get your email ?

I guess I will grab tickets for all 3 Wild Card Series games just in case, but will prioritize the Division Series and the ALCS in that order. Hopefully won't have to use the Wild Card Series tickets.

Smart plan.

Yep, Wednesday at 10am.

I can get up to 4 tickets to ONE game in each series.   So I have to decide the game.   Which makes for some interesting decisions.

For the ALCS, for example:   we don't know if we will be the team home from games 1/2/6/7 or the team home for games 3/4/5.   So what will they do, put games A/B/C/D on Sale, and if we have home field advantage, A=1, B=2, C=6, D=7, while if we don't, A=3, B=4, C=5, D=refund ??   Is that how it will work?

If they do that I have to figure out by Wednesday which game I want to buy tickets for.   Well, I'm having a colonoscopy on October 20 which is when game 5 would be played, which would eliminate me from going to either game 4 or game 5 most likely, so I guess I would have to buy tickets to game A which would be game 3.   But then if we got home field advantage I would have tickets to game 1 which is Sunday the 15th, the day I am driving back from a weekend in Blacksburg.   As long as it's a late afternoon or night game I guess that's not a problem, I wouldn't want to have to drive 300 miles home for an early afternoon game.

Have to go through similar process for the ALDS, are we home for games 1/2/5, or games 3/4?   We won't know until the division is decided.

I already paid for my tickets. As a 29-game plan holder I got my seats for all of the playoff games at the prices I quoted. That package had to be purchased by September 15th, and the prices for the individual games were in the confirmation email.

Because I did the 50-50 payment plan, I also have presale access for 2 additional tickets per game.

Ok. Makes sense.

I had access in 14 to other playoff games as well in addition to one game per series. Seeing nothing on that at all.

It is listed as games 1-3 and 1-4. If you can only buy tickets to one, don't buy game 3 for the ALDS or game 3 or 4 for the ALCS, because there is no guarantee that they will happen.

If we have home field for the ALDS, games 1 and 2 will be games 1 and 2 and game 3 will be game 5, if not, they will be games 3 and 4 and game 3 will be refunded.

If we have home field for the ALCS, games 1 and 2 will be games 1 and 2 and games 3 and 4 will be games 6 and 7. If not Games 1, 2 and 3 will be games 3, 4 and 5 and game 4 will be refunded.

Thanks!   That's pretty much what I figured.

Yeah. Definitely some planning and guess work needed. There is only one game on schedule day of Game 1 of ALCS, the 15th. NLCS starts next day. I would be shocked if it’s not a night game. Assume 730/8 start time. Solid chance ALCS Game 2 is during day but no lock.  I am debating whether going for Game 6 or Game 1 of ALCS- assuming division title. 
 

Any game not played is a refund.
