If they don't make it there will be so much wailing and gnashing of teeth no one will talk about anything else then either...
No Way! Nippon Ham Fighters ROOOOOOOOLLL! Anyone up for some Japanese baseball hooliganism? Roight, me an' th' lads, we was quaffin a few points doon a' th' local, an this bloke, roight, 'e says t'me, e sez, "Where ya froom, mate?" I sez "Yokahama." Next fing I know, 'e grabs me an tries to nail me 'ead to th' toi-bul, whilst screamin at me "Yeh? Well this is Osaka, mate, an' doon you forget it!"
I thought drinking lots of watered down pilsners while watching cars make continuous left turns was America's pastime. Oh that and bombing Third World countries back to the stone age.
It's a game played with a brown oblong-shaped ball. You score by catching the ball and running all the way to the opponent's home base line. That's called a homerun and it's worth, I believe, seven points.
Thats laboring under the delusion that someone will actually pick up the phone. Normally it will ring around 15-18 times and then a AT&T computer voice will come on and say "We are sorry, the party you are trying to reach is ................." If you can actually get ahold of someone (anyone) who will sell you this, it is a fantastic deal.
Thanks everybody for the replies to my questions and to the few PMs I have received about the supporters groups. Did anybody else see the chat with Alexi Lalas last week? It looks like the Metros are giving you a free season ticket if you renew the tickets you already have. Here is a clip from that chat. ********************************************************* Jules from New York Can you give me the details on the 2006 ticket package you are calling Metrostars fans about? (editor's note: Renew now and get your free season ticket here ») Alexi Lalas Simply go on MetroStars.com and it will all be explained. In a nutshell, if you renew the exact same number of season tickets for 2005, we will give you one additional free season ticket for 2006. It's crazy, I know, but then again, so am I. ********************************************************* I guess this is one way they are trying to build their group of season ticket holders.
Actually it's now mostly Boston's pasttime. Everywhere else, it's football. You forgot the part about guys in helmets trying to grab you with their sticks and throw you on the ice, as you try and run to the home base line.
**********, and I here I thought the goal was sliding a 45 pound chunk of granite down a piece of ice trying not to hit a reed-thin woman in a tutu doing triple axles. The Magpie
Preaching to the Choir Given that response, rev-okE must be swimming in a whirlpool with Revos management. Rolling the ticket prices back to 1996 levels this season was great for those looking to resubscribe. But it didn't do anything toward improving attendences. Those are the facts. There is nothing wrong with preaching to the choir. Being able to increase the size of the choir is the real problem. We have no idea if this new deal will be able to do that, or just make the choir happy. The choir can rightly sing the praises of this deal for them. But if it doesn't increase the size of the choir, the franchise will continue to have a tenuous future. We'll have to wait and see what effect, if any, that it has on increasing numbers. Which should be the main point behind the whole scheme.
Re: Preaching to the Choir I think it will. I already know of a few people who plan on getting season tickets for the first time now.
Re: Preaching to the Choir Two famlies that I have been after to become season ticket holder but who have resisted in the past have now decided to sign up. The Free Parking was a deal maker Cat 1---$18 per match with free parking. No where in the USA can you get a better deal on a top division sports season ticket. It's up to us---every one of us---to go out and sign people up. BTW, Frank, have you called your ticket rep yet and signed up?
Ticket Reps I'm probably renewing, and I want to make sure I get good "terms"... ...so, any thoughts on who are the ticket reps with the best rep for "working with you" these days? I've not held season tix since 2001/2002, and no longer have a view to who are the best at accommodating the customer. Thanks in advance.
