Quick Interleague question

by royhobbs on Dec 30, 2011 7:34 AM PST

I'll delete this post when I've gotten sufficient information, so I don't clog up your fanposts sections here.

So, I'm a baseball fan that loves to travel. That being said, as soon as 2011 ends, I'm already looking for trips in 2012. Roughly, as I'm slowly working my way through visiting every single MLB park, I've tentatively decided that the Bay Area will be my primary big road trip in 2012. I'm looking at a couple of weekends that fulfill a few criteria, and have limited my choices to 2-3. The one I'd like to go to first, is the one I have a question about, and would like to get the input of any of you locals who would be willing to help a traveler out.

How well do A's vs. Giants tickets sell, playing at AT&T? The scheduled rivalry series in May is what I'm looking at, and I'd like to know if I should be fervently setting calendar reminders for the date in which single tickets go on sale, or if I could casually stroll up to ticket windows on day-of, and still be able to snag a decent ticket. When it comes to rivalry games, I can never be too sure, and I can't assume that some games may or may not be novelty due to the fact that they're Interleague.

Any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The Giants sold out every game last season so tickets may be in demand no matter who they are playing. The A’s/Giants series typically sells out or comes close to a sellout. You should probably get your tickets as early as possible. Alternatively, you can try one of the secondary tickets sources closer to the game date.

Counterpoint:

Since the A’s have spent their offseason trading away EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEIR GOOD PLAYERS EXCEPT FOR KURT SUZUKI, you might be able to have a slightly easier time getting tickets for that series, since the A’s front office will probably be standing on King St. trying to sell their allocation of tickets for below face value.

and the only reason they haven’t traded Suzuki is because he really isn’t that good.

A's tickets are easier and cheaper...like Oakland girls.

But AT&T is where you want to go.

You’ll get a better deal asking on McC if anybody has tix than you will from stubhub, scalpers, and won’t have to worry about getting shutout at the window.

I would be willing to part with some.
