Yep, I got my 4 tickets to go to the game.... problem is I just found out today my friend is visiting from Australia and he'd like to go..... Has anyone ever gone back to the ticket office and been able to exchange 4 tickets for 5 together (obviously paying for the extra ticket)? Or am I stuck with only the 4 tickets I've already purchased? I'd think it would make sense that they'd be happier to get 5 people to go rather than 4 but....... The tickets I got are $40 ones and I know it looks like if I can exchange them, I'd end up with third tier seats but I'd suck that up. Any experience with this?
Never tried before. But if you do end up purchasing additional tickets...there are people in this thread that might be able to work something out with you...like K.P. (who is looking for $25 seats) https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=19113&perpage=15&pagenumber=1
Wow...I'm feeling the love on the Rev's board...although now that they opened the upper deck, I think I'm set...sure, I'd love to be able to tell Taylor Twellman from Carlos Llamosa, but that's what binoculars are for...and the $15 I'll save can buy a lot of beer...which is good, because I don't have binoculars...so, um, go Revs?
Just set up a rotation where one of you is constantly in transit getting more Guinness and you'll have a fine time!
While we're on "ever do this" I did that print out your tickets deal from ticketbastard. Does this really work and is there a special entry or something I need to go to with the barcode scanner?
It works...as it is now, they don't rip regular tickets anymore, they just scan the bar code, so paper tickets are the same exact thing as long as the bar code is there. What also happens is that once that barcode is scanned, if someone tried to pass it out the fence to someone else, the scanner would not read it and the person would not be allowed in. Lots of places have switched to scanners, the Fleetcenter, Gillette Stadium and a minor league baseball stadium in Brockton, MA, that I know of. Joe D
Several times I have exchanged my season tickets for a given game, for a larger group of tickets for that same game somewhere else. I mail them in (with some extra cash/credit card) and then they mail out the new ones. So, that means there is some precedent for that sort of thing.
So I went down to the ticket office yesterday (again, not a soul in sight, so I really recommend going if you're close enough and want to get tickets): They wouldn't exchange my four tickets for five tickets in another section (actually the person behind the counter said that it said on the tickets they were "non-exchangeable" -not that it would have made a difference to me since I'd have still tried to exchange them anyway!). But... I did get another ticket for the same section (137) as just a single ticket. The idea is that some of us can stand behind the section some of the game anyway rather than let one poor individual sit 10 rows in front of us all on their own. So there you go -kind of success.
Well kind of success is better than no success I suppose. Glad you got another ticket - the more the merrier for this one
