The beer and hot dogs don't care.

Where are you planning on sitting? I'm not into bleachers.

Good seats? Sign us up for 2 tickets.

Hi Mike,

I have asked the A's to hold 10 seats in row 20 and 10 seats in row 19, any section between 123 and 111. Row 20 and row are the back rows in the MVP sections. http://oakland.athletics.mlb.com/oak...k/seats_3d.jsp

I expect to hear from them tomorrow. The MVP tickets normally are $48 but might be discounted for this game. Last year's fan appreciation day wasn't crowded at all but it did not have a game. I expect this one will be much more crowded as the regular season starts on the 5th.

Regards,

Keith

Man that sounds good keith but no way for me to make it. Charlie I'd join you if I could...you better go in undercover

Ok Keith,

We are still in line for tickets.

Did you get any response from the A's?

We prefer to go to SF and watch BB. Only because we can walk 4 blocks and get on CalTrain, get off the train and walk a long block to the stadium. Cheaper than driving and parking any day.

We Bart to SF and then Muni to the Giants. I like the Giants because of the stadium and food! We drive to the A's because it is less than 30 minutes and Bart is swamped after the game.

Ok - from the A's. No they won't hold a block unless we have 25 people. So far we have 8. I am going to hold until March 10 and buy a block of tickets. Every can PayPal me or pay at the game. I want to get MVP seating which is $48 + $6.50 (convenience fee for buying over the web).

If I get nervous I may pull the trigger before the 10th. I expect a very large crowd for the game.

So far we have 2 SMBs, 1 SMB Sprinter, and 1 Winnebago Sprinter (they will have to pay for 2 parking spots.

What do you all think?

Regards,

Keith

[charlie56]

We are still in.
