South Jersey / Philly Area Lunch Get-together

[garyhoov]

I just checked phillies.com to see what seats were available. I put in 3 tickets and clicked "best available", the site gave me $18 seats in the 300 section.

Does that mean everything else is gone already? Should I snap them up?

I guess. I tried asking for other types of seats and they just gave me the same seats.

I'm getting the same thing. I'm going to make a command decision and buy them.

 

[garyhoov]

Okay, I just bought 3 tickets in section 309 which was the best they had left. It was $18 per ticket plus a $3 fee per ticket plus a $4 order charge for a total of $67, so about $22 per ticket.

I guess if Aaron or anyone else wants to go, we can see if we can trade this block in for a new block, but at least I've got these for now. I told them to keep them at the "will call" window, so we don't have to worry about them getting lost in the mail.

Will you pick them up or do we each individually get them?

I'm not sure. I had trouble finding a phone number, but I'll look around now that I'm not in as much of a rush.

I don't see why I couldn't give them your name and tell them you're picking one up (though it might help if you send me a PM so I actually know what your last name is:lol: ).

I can check into that (or maybe Bonnie knows). If we can't do it that way, we could just meet you someplace at 12:30 or something.

 

[MerHearted]

My last name is the French word for "the".

Okaly dokaly.

I just called them and told them you'd be picking up your ticket. I told them "Vince Lee", so if that's not right, just pretend that's your name to get the tickets.

I'll PM you the account #. They said you'd also need that.

Cool! You added an extra e. :lookaroun

I'm so sorry I missed all this. THanks for doing that Gary. I"m shocked that that many tickets are sold already for a day game. Hmmmmmmm. Sorry I didn't react sooner. Aaron can't go........he works. I have to hurry now and get to school (for our last day) I still have tons to do in order to check out of my room. I've been going to school at 8, staying till 4:30, going home and napping, eat dinner, then head back till 11:30pm. I'M EXHAUSTED!!!!!!!!!
I know, I know..........boo hoo.

I'll be much better after today.

Gary, I probably need your phone # again..........but I can drive and pick you up. This will be so much fun! Can't wait until the game! Do you want your money now or at the game?

MAKE SURE I WEAR SUNSCREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's cool. My big concern was that Aaron would want to go and we'd be short a ticket.

Since it's just us, I can drive (unless you'd really rather), but if you can meet me at my house, it would save me that extra trip.

I'll PM you my phone numbers and address. You can find me on mapquest pretty easy, but let me know if you need better directions. What do you think about times? The games at 1:05 so if you're at my house around 11:30, that should be more than enough time, shouldn't it?

Since Vince should be able to get his ticket at will-call, we can just meet him in the stadium. I'll PM him my cell phone # in case he has any problems.

 

[garyhoov]

Oh, and since it's just the three of us, It'll be my treat. Neither of you need to worry about paying me back.

Awwwww! That deserves a huggle! :sohappy:

Vince, call him on his cell a few times. I'm sure a few people will want to hear "Copacabana." :lookaroun

No way! I can't let you Gary. That is VERY NICE but.......no. I'll pay. It's too expensive all together!!!!!!!!!!!!

The time sounds good. I'll call you closer to that day.
I PMed you back before I read this. ha ha!

 

[garyhoov]

Ha! Just try. I'll bet I weigh more than you and Vince combined.

 

[TiggerBW]

I'll find a way. Remember, I"m like Tigger! You may weigh more, but you can't catch me! I'll bounce ya! :lol:

YAY!!!!!! THURSDAY IS THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[garyhoov]

YAY!!!!!! THURSDAY IS THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THURSDAY!!:sohappy: :sohappy:

My mother-in-law is here now. I'm going to take her to the Constitution Center tomorrow. I've never been there. Anybody know much about it? Any suggestions? Any good places for lunch in the area?

 

[TAC]

Never been. But: http://www.constitutioncenter.org

There is a restaurant inside apparently: http://www.constitutioncenter.org/visiting/TheDelegatesRestaurant/index.shtml

If you are up for walking, I'd go to the Italian Market :slurp: Just walk 5 or so blocks West on Arch, and it's right there.

You could also check out: Yahoo.com click the LOCAL button, and type restaurants (in) Philadelphia, PA Then on the left side, you can refine your results.

Are you taking PATCO ?
