Trading print-at-home tickets for souvenir hard tickets

[Bent Wookies]

I got print-at-home's for today's game. While it is a handsome looking 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper, I'd like a real version of the ticket to save.

I thought after I entered, I'd ask guest relations or somebody. But has anyone ever tried... asking them to print a hard version of a print at home ticket?

Seems like it would be no problem for them to do, especially if I was already in the park and the ticket had been scanned. Yet, it also sounds like something they'd say no to.

Guest relations won't have ticket stock to supply. You might have more success at a ticket window, or at contacting the ticket office after the fact. It might be a madhouse today.

For those of you scoring at home, the answer was no. There may be shenanigans, which are unknown to me, that they're trying to guard against.

 

I asked if I could mail it to them at a later date. He said they still wouldn't do it and then I wouldn't even have my printed at home ticket. Well I may have to get all Andy Dufrense about it, and send in a copy a week until they honor my request.

I don't think double murder will solve anything.

Do you think they are being obtuse?

I have a friend that won't buy through stubhub, because he wants his hard ticket. And, that is for everygame he goes to. He ends up paying more, but he doesn't care.

I bought tickets on stub hub. I did the print at home option and my son wanted a ticket /stub to put on display in his room. This might seem like a lame idea to some, but I actually Photoshopped a reasonable facsimile of his ticket. It's not perfect, but he's got something to put on his self, alongside the folded up sheet of paper that was his actual ticket.

That's look really nice 20fry. Good thinking.

 

If these baseball teams had any sense they would offer the option to buy a hard copy of the ticket after the game, say for $10.

 

I went to game 4 of the 2007 World Series, but you'll have to take my word for it because the I threw away the 8 1/2 X 11" sheet of copy paper that I used to print it out. It looked really dumb.

If you're desperate, you can find one on the ground, often. I get irritated when I don't have a hard copy of a ticket, too, so I'm not shy about picking one off the ground if it's in decent shape.

Tried posting a picture of my 1982 post season bleacher tickets this morning, but I have not been able to post a picture on this site for the last several months. Anyways, I thought people would find the prices interesting. $5 per ticket for the ALCS and $8 for the World Series. Pretty sweet huh?!

[Paul77]

Patrick, that is amazing. Can you imagine, attending every game of the postseason (home and away) for under $100??

[tristarscoop]

I was thinking about ticket prices for this postseason, especially with the discussions of price gouging going on in other topics. When I have told people that we bought the full postseason strip for each of us and that, with parking, it cost us about $1800, people have been shocked. The thing is, so much of that is wrapped up in World Series tickets.

 

There were tons of stories about folks buying tickets to the Badgers/Nebraska game for $100-$200 a ticket and no one seems to blink an eye for that. Let's split the difference and say my bf and I could have gone to the Badger game for $300. For one game.

 

If there are 3 NLDS games and 3 NLCS games in Milwaukee, we'll have paid $330. That's 6 postseason games for basically the same price as one regular-season Badger game.

 

I just think that's incredibly reasonable.

[Bent Wookies]

20fry, those are awesome.

 

Schlitz001, I agree that they're missing an opportunity to charge for a service that I think people want. I realize some people print-at-home because the service fee is cheaper - so I even offered to pay that to get a hard copy from them.

My mother has ticket stubs from game 7 of the 1958 World Series. Bleacher seats for $3.00. She says she'll leave them to me.
