Free Yanks tix for those who braved the rain against the Orioles

Nice offer by the Yankees, for those who went to last nights 7-4 victory in favor of the Bronx bombers. Aside from getting to see a win, you can also get a free ticket to an upcoming game of your choice in the Terrace of Grandstand.

Not a bad deal considering it didn't look like it was raining that hard, and the game was never once delayed. But a part of me wonders if this was set up on purpose. Looking at the Yankees press release, it says you can either get a free ticket OR get 50% off non suite ticket. The Yankees are practically out of Grandstand seats for the remainder of the year, the Terrace likely has limited inventory. But the more expensive seats are available and you can now get them 50% off so your still giving the Yankees your money instead of Stubhub.

If you were able to get any of the free tickets, let me know cause I'm curious to hear.

Expect more cheap seats for this weeks series vs. O's

Oh, how I miss the old stadium.

Looking for more empty seats and cheap tickets? Well look no further then this weeks match up against the Orioles. A mid week game, against a boring opponent. No diss to the Orioles but they aren't a big draw, even if they have been playing good ball this season.

The NY Daily News is even running a special this week for 50% off the games at the stadium against the O's and the Yankees have discounted the upper tier for $5. But Stubhub prices are dirt cheap, and if the weather is so-so then expect either alot of no shows or unsold seats.

Current prices on Stubhub start at just $1, so if you want to attend a game, no is the time.

Yankee season tickets have arrived

The booklet they came in.

Just like last season the players are on the tickets

I like the tickets this year. Yes they are similar to last season, but still very nice. My biggest issue is that in past years they gave out $5 coupons for tickets, this year they gave out only 50% off coupons and only three of them.  A better marketing idea would have been two buy one get one coupons.... oh well

The Newest Place to Find Cheap Yankees Tickets: ScoreBig.com

With the start of the baseball season under a month away, it will be time to head back out to the ballpark for the great American pastime. But with an economy like this, and the growing expense of going to the ballpark, the best thing to do is save money on tickets. The newest site for cheap tickets is ScoreBig.com.

Unlike StubHub, on ScoreBig you are able to make an offer for how much you would like to pay for tickets, so if you feel that you only want to pay a certain amount, you can offer just that. The drawback is you can only put one offer in per price range every 24 hours, so if you put something ridiculously low then you wont be able to return and make an appropriate one for 24 hours.

What is good about it is they don't charge a service fee at all and they ship out the hard tickets, so their will be no Internet printouts (I hate those and they are easy to fake).

The one major issue I had with this is that you cant choose what exact section you want your seats. You will not know what row or section until you receive the tickets, instead what you have to choose from is what price and stadium level you want to sit on.

Currently their are just a few Yankees games listed, but the Mets, Devils,Islanders, Nets and Knicks all have tickets listed. You will need to be "invited" to join the site so if you click here, you can join.

Yankees Raise 2011 ticket prices

The cheapest non obstructed seat at Yankee Stadium will now be $15. With the poor economy, many teams are cutting ticket prices but the Yankees are not. Today it was announced that the Yankees will increase six categories, including the bleachers, main level and field level. It was first reported on the LoHud blog here , but then Lonn Trost confirmed it on Mike'D up. Trost claimed that the reason the Yankees increased the prices is because they studied the secondary market and realized many of the seats were being sold for an increase. The entire Trost interview can be heard here.  The Yankees have already changed the prices on the its website seating chart.

I will say that I still plan to renew my seats, and will actually attempt to upgrade my seats to a weekend plan. But it stinks that the Yanks have upped the bleacher seats, although the price is still fair and a great deal. I am befuddled as to why the Yanks would ever increase the seats on the lower level, as it is already the seats are empty and I don't care that Trost attempts to tell me that the seats have been sold, I don't believe that. I do believe that many fans do walk around and get out of their seats.

I will continue to follow the situation throughout the off season, and update my site as soon as any other ticket news it out.

Cheap tickets to see the Yankees play in a hurricane tomorrow

I was just scanning through Stubhub before and noticed that for tomorrows matinee against the Toronto Blue Jays tickets are selling for as cheap as $0.90 . Their are almost 6,000 tickets available for tomorrows game that are listed for $35 or less.

My first instinct was to call up someone and say lets go to the game but then I realized these tickets are only going for so cheap because of the hurricane that is suppose to hit this area tomorrow right when the game is going on. It's still a great deal if you are able to grab a cheap pair in the legends or champions sections of the stadium that normally run for $350 or more and you get all you can eat food. Another reason it cant hurt is because the Yankees most likely will make the game up some time this weekend as part of a double header. The weather looks great fro Saturday and Sunday so it might not be such a bad investment.

What I may never understand is why people would bother to sell their tickets for that cheap. I know I rather give them away to a friend or family member or just eat the tickets all together. The Yankees have a program that you can donate your tickets to charity or if you don't want to use them you can get a five dollar credit on them.

This season has been awful in general for reselling tickets. Many season ticket holders last year after the Yankees won the World Series bought extra plans they never planned on using to sell. They thought that they would be able to make a profit on the premium games and make a killing come the post season. Well this season many premium games could be had at face value, the postseason is still ahead so maybe they could still make some of their money back. Anyways that got off track, and I plan to write my own post about that soon enough.

So if you don't mind either sitting in the rain or going to a game later in the weekend, go ahead and grab a ticket to see the Yankees face the Blue Jays tomorrow. After all it wont hurt the wallet too much, something rarely said when talking about Yankee tickets.

Yankees push Field Level seats at 40% off this homestand

Looking to go to a Yankees game before school starts ? Are you a high roller who can afford to sit on field level ? Well the Yankees have a deal for you ! For the A's, Blue Jays and Orioles series' during this homestand you can get field level seats for 40% off along with other locations with the code : DKNYBTS. The reason I mention the field level over and over is because even though they mention other locations I wouldn't expect any other then maybe a few Jim Bean Suite tickets. I have talked about this a few times but I really hope the Yankees do the right thing next year and again lower the price on the tickets since the economy hasn't picked up much. It would be great publicity for the Yankees to lower the prices on the tickets again to make them more affordable instead of seeing empty seats.
