San Francisco Giants World Series Tickets at AT&T Park
by Greg Cullen on Oct.21, 2010, under Sports News
San Francisco Giants tickets for their World Series games at AT&T Park are on sale now and the best time to buy your Giants World Series tickets may be before today’s game. If the Giants beat the Phillies today you can expect the price of tickets to jump just as they have every time the Giants moved up the playoff ladder.
But in past playoff games the Giants ticket prices have fluctuated a bit. That was until today’s game which could send the Giants to the World Series tonight and ticket prices soaring. The price of World Series tickets does not usually go down as the games get closer especially with today’s small baseball parks and the 41,900 AT&T Park will be a tough ticket.
If you buy San Francisco Giants World Series tickets today you may get a better deal than if you wait until they beat the Phillies. You can get a full refund if the game is not played as long as you buy your World Series tickets from a reliable ticket service.
And the game will not be over until after 7:30 so if you place an order tonight for World Series tickets you may not know if your order went through until the morning because most of the ticket companies will be closed at that time. So if you’re considering buying San Francisco Giants World Series tickets you better think fast, before prices are jacked up once again.

A few, and I do mean a few, World Series tickets went onsale today for the possible series games at Yankee Stadium should the Yankees take out the Texas Rangers.

Ticket prices for the New York Yankees game today have dropped to around $50 per ticket from a high of close to $100 each. This follows a trend with the other ball clubs and playoff ticket prices dropping a bit in the Championship series as opp0sed to the Division Series where ticket prices remained constant.
The Texas Rangers have also put possible World Series tickets on sale with a lottery system at Texas Ballpark to keep the sale of tickets fair. There is never a shortage of baseball fans for World Series tickets and if the San Francisco Giants get there with the New York Yankees expect the ticket prices for the World Series to be some of the highest yet.

Buying a Baseball Playoff Tickets Risky for Both Sides
by Greg Cullen on Oct.15, 2010, under Sports News
If you’re looking to buy a last minute ticket for baseball’s Championship Series this weekend you have to be very careful where you buy that ticket and the seller has to be careful as well that he doesn’t get scammed. And these are just the kind of sporting events that scams pop up at because of the high price of the ticket and the fans desire to get a deal. And it will get worse for the World Series where prices may start at over $1000 per ticket this year.
Most of the scams involving tickets will come from free listing sites such as Craigslist because there is no way to verify the identity of the ticket seller. Other scams can be found on the internet with websites that have no address and in some cases no phone number either. In most cases the fan won’t find out until they get to the event and find the tickets are no good.
Then you get the low price scams where you don’t see the true price of the ticket until you start entering your personal information and then the hidden fees pop up. Our company even gets customers calling and telling us they can buy our tickets cheaper on another website, until we point out the hidden fees.
For ticket brokers selling baseball playoff tickets the risk is even greater. In most cases if the buyer pays for their tickets by credit card and if they are scammed the credit card company takes the hit or passes it onto the ticket seller.
But the ticket broker must make sure of two things: That all of the tickets he buys and sells are legitimate, and the customer is really a customer and not someone with a stolen credit card. And to do this for last minute sale they may require a faxed copy of a sales agreement, credit card and driver’s license. Or they may just need to call you back at the phone number associated with the credit card to make sure you are who you say you are.
For the customers they say if the deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. For ticket brokers if the customer cares little about the price, where the seats are, and they want the tickets sent to a different address than the billing address for the credit card, the red flags come up.
