Phillies Series Group Sunday 8/2 Free Pablo T-Shirt Day

by merkin on Jul 17, 2009 2:23 PM PDT Comment 44 comments

OK, posted this before... hope you don't mind the update.

I took the plunge

Just got a 25 pack of bleachers 138 row 14-16

Have 14 (maybe 18) so far

Need 7 (maybe 11) to round out the group

Giants Ticket office have a few more adjoining these seats if the group goes past 25 (that'd be a nice problem)

So far this is who we have

(from here, giantsboard, + real life)

…

UPDATE 07-24-09
August 2nd vs Phillies
OK, bought a group of 25 x $24
section 138 Row 14-16

Me + 1
Baron (maybe +1)
Sfromsf + 1
Accrostic ( maybe + 2)
Croix
Olddad
MH (maybe +1)
RA
JP +1

CH +1

So we are at 12-16
Need another 9-13 to make the group

Let me know if you are interested

I will be at the meetup on the 27th if you want to get tickets in person

Otherwise Will Call or Mail or Ticket Relay ($2 per ticket) all work

If I don't get all 25 filled, I will start dumping on Stubhub or CL

Will start dumping any extras on Stubhub Tuesday 7/28 Afternoon

And if you already have tix elsewhere, you are welcome to come by and chastise us

Let me know if you have any questions

HEY! TEACHER! LEAVE THEM KIDS ALONE!

I’ve got my own tickets but i’m thinking i’ll move down to the bleachers… they only had VRs left for the 4-pack deal. Maybe i’ll pop down if there’s space.

I printed that out.
I think it’s going to be too small (and too complicated to assemble) for your heads.
Just sayin’

could it be enlarged on a copy machine?
We’re going to that game but I haven’t printed the mask out yet.

If you want to go all school teachery on it, you could enlarge it, mount it on cardboard (cut out the eye holes), cover it with clear contac paper to add some resistance to beer spills, and staple a tongue depressor to the bottom for a handle (instead of stringing it for a mask).

i think it was designed for kids’ heads.
i like the plastic ones that i saw on TV the night of the no-hitter.
the furry head costume is a little too much though.

Hmmm if I’m counting right the 2nd will be a Zito start?
Somebody please tell me I’m doing it wrong!

If the rotation holds up, yes it is a Zeets start.

Man, if I knew I could get a ride out to the City, I would love to go. :/

Cupertino is lame.

If there’s still a ticket or two available tomorrow, how much are they again?

But if I can squeeze it I’ll let you know.

Fellow Cupertinoners cool.

If you can make the 10 min drive to the Sunnyvale Caltrain station, its pretty convenient.

Quick question

I haven’t been to a day game give-away in a really long time… how early would you say somebody should get there to be GUARANTEED to get one of the 20,000 Pablo t-shirts?

I already bought tickets, and only for the awesome shirt. Actually seeing the game is just gravy. So what time would you plan to get there to be sure you get a shirt?

by The Double Deuce on Jul 20, 2009 10:33 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs

Most promos we’ve been to, we get there 30 minutes or so before game time and they’re still handing stuff out.

Considering it’s Pablo, and they are promoting it like CRAZY, we’re planning on being there pretty early. “Gates open two hours before game time.” On the 2nd, we may be there that early.

Anybody going to that game interested in a Giants bar-b-q apron? Or a tie?

by Merope on Jul 20, 2009 10:41 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Yeah, we were gonna shoot for getting there around 11am, just to be safe. I heard the Lincecum bobblehead day was totally packed early, so hopefully this one won’t be so nuts and 11 will be early enough.

by The Double Deuce on Jul 20, 2009 10:44 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

I will likely have a couple extra shirts if you want to trade for the apron or tie.
Got a bunch of other stuff to trade as well…..

It depends. I typically get to the stadium parking lot about an hour early. Usually the promos are still around, although there was one game last year where they were all out.

Even for the Brian Wilson bobblehead (where there were a ton of people lined up early), the gate was giving them away at Noon.

That’s different, nobody actually wanted those.

by Merope on Jul 20, 2009 6:24 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

and they had a new system where you couldn’t enter/ exit from same gate
much organized and more fair a system
pretty sure thats only for bobbles though

Pablo shirts?
Hard to say, I would get there at 11AM just to be sure
Usually only bobbles run out quick, but I know Timmy Pins ran out quick this year
and Pablo is fairly popular
