Still looking for Yankees Postseason tickets ? Keep checking Ticketmaster & Stubhub for a bargain.

The Yankees have clinched a playoff birth and although with the way this team is playing, they may not have the same magical run as last season, you never know what will happen in October. This past week the Yanks released a few tickets to the general public for the ALDS and ALCS. Not many Yankees fans walked away with tickets, but a few were to be had in the Terreace and Field Levels.

So yesterday I was bored and happened to check if the Yankees had released any tickets, well sure enough they have for most of the ALDS and ALCS games. For the most part the tickets were wheelchair accessible, standing room only, cafe seating and even a few field level and main level seats for under $150. Not a bad deal to see a playoff game. The only issue that may come along is that for ALDS game 1 and 2 you can ONLY get print at home tickets, not hard tickets.

If you are someone who doesn't want to stand or is looking for a deal, keep checking Stubhub. So many people this year purchased ticket plans banking on losing a few bucks during the regular season but purchasing Postseason tickets and making a profit. Well as long as you have some knowledge of economics you would know that excess supply equals lower price if the demand is not their. Already prices for the ALDS are much cheaper then they were last season. If the weather is bad on the day of the game you may even be able to find tickets for below face.

If you already have your tickets as the Yankees race for # 28 then your all set. But many fans (who actually want to go to the game and not resell) do not have tickets, so keep checking Ticketmaster which is known to release tickets closer to the event and Stubhub for a chance to experience October baseball in the Bronx.

Yankee Stadium Experiences : 9/6/10 Baltimore Orioles come to town on Labor Day

Welcome back to another edition of Yankee Stadium experiences, this time it was the Yankees facing the Baltimore Orioles on Labor Day.

For most Yankee games I attend I go with someone who drives to the Bronx. This time I went via public transportation (go green!) so my morning started with taking the Long Island Rail Road to Penn Station. From Penn Station, I took the A train to Columbus Circle then I hopped on the D train. The subway was a lot quicker then I had remembered from the last time I went.

Once I got to the stadium, the crowd outside of gate 6 was huge, lots of people were mulling about all around on Babe Ruth plaza. Instead I went to gate 8, their was no line at all and the security workers were just standing around chatting. I may have mentioned this before but gate 8 is always the quickest way into the stadium (also the quickest way to monument park).

Once inside I wondered around and went to gate 2, to check out the kiddie cafe cart. But instead I was surprised to see a make shift team store in its place. The store is selling former player tees and other shirts relating to 2009 events for $10. They also had pins and lanyards for $ 1 and hats ( sized 7 7/8 - 8 only) for $10. I purchased a pair of lanyards that hold tickets.

I was sitting in my usual bleacher seats, this year most of the games in my plan had been night games, I had forgotten how hot the sun is out there. After the first inning my guest and I headed for shade, so we found a place to stand on the field level. We stayed down on field level from the second inning till about the sixth inning. The entire time their was an entire section of empty bleacher cafe seats, the entire time the security guard kicked people out who sat their or even put down their food. I can understand doing that early in the game, but by the fifth you have to realize nobody is coming. Just another bad job by the Yanks security.

The game was pretty exciting even though I saw A.J Burnett pitch for what felt like the 100th time. The Yankees came back from a two run deficit but Burnett couldn't keep the birds down and they would take the lead. The Yanks bats were silenced by star relievers Jim Johnson and Koji Uehara (sarcasm referring to star) and the bombers lost the game 4-3.

The season is coming to an end and since my college starts back up tomorrow so I have sold off most of my remaining games, but my final game before hopefully the playoffs is against the Boston Red Sox.
