My mother-in-law (insert mother-in-law jokes HERE) called me yesterday and told me that she may be able to get me some ASTROS tickets. At first I was like yea sure...no biggie, the ASTROS BITE but I have NOT been to too many games this year...why not...
Then she said the games were Friday SEPT 14th Pirates...or Tuesday SEPT
11th Cubbies...SO I said CUBS definatly I CANT STAND THE PIRATES.
Only bad thing is that it is a Tuesday night....BUT I figured it was SEPT 11th and the MLB always puts on a nice display and ceremony for that day. So I thought it would be great to go.
(I had tickets to the ASTROS -vs- GIANTS on SEPT 11th 2001, and obviously the game was cancelled so this is 6 years in the making)
ANYWAY..so she says I can get 2 to 6 tickets...HOW many do you want? I said 2 DEFIANTLY but IF you can get all 6 that would be great.
SHE CALLS ME BACK AND SAYS...ADAM...SIT DOWN!
DIAMOND CLUB SEATS BABY! (the red section RIGHT BEHIND HOME PLATE)
JUST to let you guys know HERE are the ticket prices for ASTROS GAMES
NO DIAMOND CLUB TICKETS ON THERE....most expensive seat is $50
DIAMOND CLUB IS $335 FACE VALUE!!!!!!!!!!
YES THAT IS PER TICKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!
and she got me ALL 6 TICKETS AND PARKING PASSES!!!!!!!!!
do the math 6 X $335 + 2 $40 parking passes (where the players park at the back of the stadium)
$2,090!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so I call the box office and ask about the tickets and they say
"You are sitting in the OWNERS BOX..(good ole boy DRAYTON and GEORGE AND BARBARA BUSH) and you will be able to enjoy the BUFFET in the DIAMOND CLUB along with food, beverages, etc."
(and I am sure the occasional pat down by the old presidents security team LOL)
VERY VERY VERY COOL! I AM FREAKING PUMPED! I WILL BE BRINGING THE CAMERA AND HAVING A FREAKING BLAST!!!
I WILL BE TAPING THAT GAME! AND I WILL BE WEARING A SPORTSCARDFREAKS.com T-SHIRT....(ordering is ASAP!!!!!!)
I USED TO LOOK AT THOSE SEATS AND THINK "WOW ONE DAY MAN I WILL SIT THERE"...........WELL ON SEPT 11th HERE I COME BABY!
