ST Holders offered Cubs-Yankees tickets for New Yankee Stadium.

ST Holders offered Cubs-Yankees tickets for New Yankee Stadium.

Here is an email I just got from the Cubs. It's a nice "bone". I'm definitely in for 6. Wondering if other ST holders have success and how many tickets they get.

Dear Season Ticket Holder,

The Yankees have set aside a limited number of tickets for both games. The tickets will range in price from $20-$45. Due to the close proximity of this offer with the actual game dates, we will need to obtain your response, if interested, by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, March 16th.

Orders will be filled starting with the available $45 tickets. All tickets will be sold on a first come - first served basis. There will be a purchase limit of 6 tickets total per season ticket account. A $5 postage and handling charge will be added to all completed orders.

My dad got the same email.

Looks like we may be road-tripping to NYC for the games…

That's weird, it got centered.

I don’t think you can do a blockquote in a FanShot.

I’d love to go, but being in Arizona, I won’t be able to.

Yes, I'm begging....

Will you be starting a ticket exchange for this?

I could, if there's enough interest.

Since there are no guarantees that orders will be filled, that may be difficult

However, if a season ticket holder were to place a order for 4 tickets for me, I would guarantee payment via PayPal or cash.

Any season ticket holder willing to buy me a pair?

My daughter would be grateful and ecstatic to go. She already has a place to stay.

I forgot she would need a pair for the people with whom she’s staying.

I will purchase 3 tickets for April 3rd

Left out the cheap seats

Looks like the upper deck grandstand and bleacher seats (all expected to be under $2 each) will be available only from the Yankees ticket office whenever they get around to selling those. I’d rather get the $20 seats in order to get a better view of the new park, but I’ll take whatever I can scavenge.

I'm guessing that...

… once the Cubs submit their list to the Yankees after Monday, the Yankees will announce a date for selling them. Has to be pretty soon, as those games are only three weeks away.
