I saw the last game of the round robin for the Aguilas...against teh tigers of Licey in Santo Domingo...had front row seats...bought two tickets from scalpers who were fighting to sell me theri tickets..i walked in a looked at seats two times with different guys, each time rejecting the seats...the last set of tickets the guy went outside and negotiated from other to sell to me while me and my GF waited in the stands in the section behind the visitors dugout where we wanted out seats....he came back with A1- row f seat 5...the other ticket was seat 6...we negotiated to 2,500 pesos each....found out at game time..i didnt look closely at the second ticket very well...., while it was seat 6 it was a DIFFERENT row....the basstard sold 2 tickest 7 rows apart!!!!! not good.... and each seat was a solo, with people on either side...and they had friends, so it would be difficult to shuffle them around so we could sit together....just about the time I decided to let her sit up close and I go up to the last row....we saw 2 empty seats all the way down front....so we asked if any one had comein to sit there yet....nope...so we JUST SAT THERE!!! they never showed up....we were front row with our beers hanging on the dugout! 6 feet from all the players... the aguilas lost....
the next game three games we saw were in Santiago...I got tickets in the sections i wanted each game, but it took a lot of work...we waited in kline to buy tickets for 1 hour 45 minutes , only to have the line dissolve because that window wasnt going to sell tickets!...and i kept telling my GF..."HOW WILL EACH WINDOW KNOW WHAT THE OTHER WINDOW IS SELLING?.. they cant have one window sell have the stadium!!!!!!! they arent computerized i figured....well we waited till the first guy bought his tickets...he bought fout bleacher tickets for 600 pesos each...i said why did you wait so long to buy bleacher seats...he said thats all they were selling.. the rest were bought up before hand.!!!!!!!!!! before the tickets went on sale!! what DR BS!!!!!!!!!!
so we came back and fought with all the scalpers..they lie and lie and lie...they negotiate they can get the tickest you want..them come up with seast someplace else and say they are great anyway...I only wanted A1 A2 A3 or A4....I didnt want to be behind the sceen , behind the plate, or over behins the Licey team...I paid 2500 each for the first game , 2000 pesos each for teh second game we saw, and 2,200 each for the last game. all in sections i wanted....
The last game i saw the girl next to me brought the police down on us in almost pandmonium....seems some guy up behind us a bunch or rows was blowing his airhorn to the extend someone connected didnt like it...they were blowing them all over the stadium!!! well they brought in about 10 military uniformed guards and a few suits to confiscate his airhorns...we had a pair of ballzzz as well and he hyped up the crowd to heckle the parade of military guys.and it got kinda loud and ugly, and as the last guy reach the mezzaninie right behind us the girl threw something....and a suit was looking right at her when she did
well he cameat her with a vengaence, screaming, "you dont know who I am, be very careful", and then repeated his"you dont know who I am " a bunch of times .
funny thing was there was a row of police national right behind us the whole game.. and they didnt do nothing, and in fact were almost pushed on top of us as the other military guys tried to come in and get this girl...but the crowd just went balistic right around us..and they looked like they backed off...
anyway the games were a blast.....I am gonna miss the rest..my buddy said the season tickets for right behine home plate cost him 15,000 pesos...if thats right is a deal!
