Not a fan of the ticketing process
I know I’ll probably get a lot of hate for this but here goes.
I was in the lottery for two years before getting tickets. I’m not disabled but I have chronic health issues that make picking seats kind of a big deal for me. I don’t care about sections or how close I am to the diamond - it’s more about mobility (fewer stairs, closer to restrooms and shaded areas, that kind of thing).
I literally ended up with some of the worst seats for my needs. Furthest section from a restroom, in direct sun, and all the way at the bottom of a set of stairs. No available tickets in the marketplace that I might be able to trade with.
My health issues aside, the seats we got are $6 for a regular baseball game but $35 for banana ball. The farthest section before you get to the lawn. We’re paying the same price as folks with much better seats and that doesn’t feel right. Didn’t even have the opportunity to pick better sections - the $35 seats were all the was left when it was my turn to buy tickets.
At any rate, I’m glad they aren’t using Ticketmaster and they try to prevent scalping. Those are importnat things to do that all sports and entertainment should be doing. But I also think the process could definitely use some rethinking.
