Thanks for the article Nicole....I may email the reporter!

you totally should. They've completely screwed anyone who had a weekend plan. I'm sorry this is happening to you. Let me know if you end up needing tickets. We got our full seasons in the bleachers and probably won't be making too many weekend games with a 2 1/2 year old.

Re: I am one helluva burned Yankee fan right now

My dad spoke to someone at the ticket office today, and its just bad all around, alot of fans did not even end up getting tickets, they said anyone with a senority of 2001 or later didn't even get season seats.

There is nothing left, except for the 350 dollar seats and up wich are in the legends section, and you have to buy at least a 20 game package.
Which comes out to 14000

They took away a few thousand seats and they have all those luxury boxes on the field now which takes away seats.

It really really suck s and my dad put us on an upgrade waiting list and also they may be doing a presale of small packages, depending if the people who have them pay,

Payments are due by the 27th of this month, and then they will know exactly who is forfeiting the tickets and who is keeping them.

ugh Nicole, it's just unbelievable and it makes me sick. Thanks for the update though.

As I was driving home today, many fans were calling in to the Mike Francesa show. I heard one guy say that with the new seating, he decided to move to the bleachers - kept his Sunday plan- and COMPLAINED that he was paying $12 a seat. Come on, at least you got a Sunday package! Others are just flabbergasted by the whole StubHub situation- how so many tickets are available already.

Wow, thanks so much Debbie. We weren't expecting too much with our infant on the way in June...but we would've liked to have hit a few Saturday games before then! I may take you up on it. The great thing is, our Saturday bleacher friends will put us first on their list when they can't use their tickets. Maybe that is better for us in the long run anyway....

Re: I am one helluva burned Yankee fan right now - UPDATE!!!!!!!!

BUMP - good news update!

Re: I am one helluva burned Yankee fan right now - UPDATE!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I am SO excited for you guys!!!!! I'm really glad he took the chance for you, I would've been way too nervous!! Where are your seats? We're in Sect 203 (the equivalent of where 39 used to be). We should totally hook up at a game this year. I haven't really been to weekend games in years, but now that Jack's getting a little bigger, I want to bring him to a few and weeknights are out for him as bedtime is usually right after first pitch ;)

CONGRATS on the big payoff

Tara, I am glad that things worked out better than you originally thought, but that is such BS-with both your team and mine-it is all about squeezing the real fans for every dime! The Mets are not much better with building a smaller stadium so that they can jack up the prices

Re: I am one helluva burned Yankee fan right now - UPDATE!!!!!!!!

Yayeeeeeee Tara, I'm so happy that things worked out for you!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: I am one helluva burned Yankee fan right now - UPDATE!!!!!!!!

Thanks Cindy!
