When we took Chandler on his birthday to tour the Diamondbacks facility we purchased season tickets to the games. It was an easy sale because Alvin did it for me and I obviously didn't discourage the purchase. Our thoughts were we would go to the games we wanted to and sell the rest on
Stub Hub. And, that was part of the sales pitch that Diamondbacks had partnered with Stub Hub to sale tickets. Well, that hasn't been so successful unfortunately. There are way too many tickets posted for sale so consequently we have only sold 4 sets of tickets. We also have listed them on Craigslist but those people want to pay very little. Our philosophy is if we get the chance to sell the tickets for a game we stay home that night. So, we have gone to alot of games so far.
Before Alvin's classes were over he taught on Tuesday and Wednesday night so we couldn't go. Since the middle of May we have missed very few games. You have the option of turning in unused tickets for other games that you will attend. So, one night we took Cody, Chelsea, Carter and Cash to a game. Another night we took Stephen, Chelsea, Chandler, Cooper, Tatum and Gretchen to a game.
The night the Snesko's went it was "Stars Wars Night". People were dressed in costumes and the players were portrayed as a character on the jumbo-tron when they came to bat. It was extra fun for the kids. Tatum was able to get Baxter's autograph on her DB shirt.
The night Cody's family went they had fireworks after the game.
For one game of choice we were able to upgrade our two tickets to four better seats up close. Now our own tickets are not bad, in fact we like them, but being really up close was very nice.
We were behind the backstop and seven rolls back.
The Diamondback organization have many things that you get to participate in when you are season ticket holders. Going to the games and doing other things have made the summer quite fun.
