After the wonderful, amazing year of 2001, I decided that with both the means, and opportunity, I wanted to
get season tickets. The first year I went it alone. I tried to get friends of mine to come in with me,
(including a few of the people you'll meet on the following pages), but no-one wanted to sit in the section I wanted.
The second year, my relationship was growing stronger, and the lady wanted to go to a few games with me.
Luckily, we were able to buy about 20 games in the seat next to mine, and before the season was out, we
decided that we would like to get 2 full tickets for the next year (2004).
The problem, though, is that my ladyfriend was not an 81-game-a-year gal. So, this website was formed in my mind,
and I set out to build a group of friends to share that second seat with us.
Obstacles, deadlines, and crunches threatened to derail us, but we pulled it together, and got some pretty
awesome seats in the process.
Now, It's 2005, and there is no lady. I still have the tickets, but without my "bonus" from running a privately owned business,
Filling the second seat gets trickier and trickier. However, I have plenty of co-workers, friends, accquantances,
and others to fill 162 tickets worth of games.
At least, that's the theory. After a series of cancellations, my seat location has moved to pretty much where I wanted to sit in 2000. Go figure. Below are links to my version of the official Mariners
schedule. On these pages are notes as to which friends have tickets for what games. If there is a name
shown for a given day, at least one of the
tickets is being used (usually by myself).
If you would like to attend a game for which no-one has spoken for the seats,
send me an e-mail
. Trades are allowed and encouraged, and if you need two tickets
for a given day, I am always amenable to a move, as long as I have the
option to get into the ballpark somewhere in the lower bowl. Game times are as
current as possible: if there is to be a change, it will be noted.
Seat location is:
Section 109,
Row 28, Seats 15 and 16. These are in the middle of the row, with good
access to vendors, and home run balls both on the fly, and off the bounce. There are 20 seats in the row, and
the others may still be available for single
game purchase (Normal price $24). This is the fifth row up from the
wall. The seats are to the right of the foul pole, so sight lines to everything
are unobstructed.
Quickest entry and exit are through the Center Field and
Right Field gates, and the new onramp makes getting there a breeze. Parking
passes are available for specific games, but we've never had a problem getting good spaces in Pioneer Square.
When the forms for Postseason tickets arrive, that schedule
will be posted.
