I’m so excited about the Yankees game tonight
I was really bummed for a long time about this series. The Yankees are in town for 3 days starting today through Thursday. I’ve wanted to go to these games since last year when they announced that they were coming to town. The Yankees haven’t been to Pittsburgh in 48 years so it’s a pretty big deal around town.
When tickets went on sale they sold out in 10 minutes and I wasn’t able to get tickets. At first I was upset about not being able to go. Then I got mad when I saw all of the tickets on Ebay, StubHub and a couple of other auction sites. I knew that the reason the seats went so fast was because scalpers had them and were selling them at outrageous prices. I mean a $9.00 cheap seat was going for almost $40. That’s just ridiculous but I guess people were willing to pay it. I was bummed because I wasn’t spending that much money. No way no how.
Then yesterday I went on the Pirates site just wishing and hoping. I saw that they had tickets available but I had a gift card that was at home. After work we went to WalMart and did some shopping. Once we got back home I mentioned to John that I had saw the tickets. He’s a Yankees hater so I didn’t think he would want to go. He told me to try and get seats. I went on and most seats were sold out but there was a 7 minute delay while people decided on the tickets that they had. After about 10 minutes, I got seats!
I can not wait until tonight! I just wish I had gotten a camera.
