Phillies Tickets Purchased

Today was the long awaited day. I purchased tickets to a Phillies game today. Every year I try to make at least one game. It doesn’t always happen (2008, I am thinking of you), but I relish the opportunity. I guess technically you could say my dad bought the tickets, I just did the work of waiting for them to go on sale online and reserving them.

There was a little drama as usual. I usually purchase tickets before they go on sale to the general public through a customer loyalty program. I received the details of that promotion on Monday, but imagine my surprise when the game that we wanted to go to was only available in a 3-Game package.  I was more than a little annoyed. I called the Ticket Office and they said I wouldn’t need to purchase the package if I waited for Thursday and the official start of Individual Ticket sales.  So, a few days to wait, but we have 6 tickets to the Phillies/ Giants game on Saturday, July 21st at 4:05pm. We will be sitting in section 333.

It will be a little different for us this year. This year we (my dad, my mom, my husband and I) introduce Connor, my son, to the wonderful world of baseball. It will be his first regular season game. (He is attending a Spring Training game in March.) Tagging along for fun are my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. They are rabid Yankee fans, but wanted the opportunity to attend a game at Citizens Bank park and to be there when Connor hears the first crack of the bat. I wish my sister, Beth, and my brother, Matt, could be there. But you can’t have everything.

So excited for baseball season. I can’t wait.
