Shhh: Buy Phillies Tix before Phillies Fans
By Matthew Cerrone - Feb 20, 2008 10:32 am

as usual, the Phillies sent fans a back-door link via e-mail to purchase single-game tickets in advance of tomorrow’s official sales date

To access the link, and purchase single-game tickets to Citizen’s Bank Park before the general public, click here.

thanks to CoreyNYC for the link, and god bless the blogosphere…

As noted in an earlier post to MetsBlog, according to their Facebook Group, more than 500 Phillies fans are planning a ‘Take Over’ of Shea Stadium during the Nationally-televised Phillies-Mets game on September 6, because they are ‘sick and tired of stupid Mets fans taking over Citizen’s Bank Park.’

For what it’s worth, the Mets travel to Philadelphia on Saturday, April 19 and Sunday, April 20, both of which are Nationally televised games.

Update10:40 am

…MetsBlog’s Brandon Eddy has already gathered 24 Mets fans to attend to the Saturday, April 19 game, which will air on FOX…they will be sitting in Section 421…

additionally, another reader of this site has organized 40 Mets fans to take a bus to the same game…

…so, if you’re thinking of buying tickets, go Saturday…maybe we can get a MetsBlog tailgate going

…this is going to be a crazy season, isn’t it…oh, man

Maybe I can help you with a math lesson so you can figure out why there will be tickets available at CitiField.

Do I hear a Metsblog.com Day at CBP?

I would have been there but 4/19 is the first night of Passover, so all the Jewish Mets fans can’t make it.

Just got tickets to the game on the 19th, bought the cheapest ones because the cool thing about CBP is you can stand on the lower level even though you bought the cheap seats. Last year stood right in back of the handicap section all game… Im in for a tailgate and a victory party at Show & Tell…

Here’s something else Met fans should do: demand that SNY do what the Red Sox network NESN is doing right now. They have live cameras, mics and reporters at spring training. I just watched David Ortiz take some swings and Josh Beckett throw off a mound with Theo Epstein watching dutifully. ALL LIVE! 2 hours every weekday morning. Come on SNY get your you know what together and give us die hard Met fans what we crave, LIVE MET COVERAGE!

I have 8 tickets to the July 4th and 5th games front row, left field loge section. Pat Burrell will not want to play another game after we’re through with him

Let them come to Shea. Nothing would make me happier than seeing their sad little faces when the Mets start beating the sh*t out of the Phillies on national TV none the less.

Any mets fans want to join us, contact rshay1@yahoo.com. He is selling pretty much that whole loge section at a reasonable price.

I got my tickets for 7/4 & 7/5 last night.

As an FYI…

For 7/4 I found the best seats still available to be in the Terrace (312-329) sections. I’ve sat in these before–it is the front rows of the Upper Deck hanging (equivalent to Upper Box at Shea, but somewhat closer to the field…more like being in the Mezz). I got seats around 1B here.

For 7/5, the choices are dwindling. You can sit in the 300’s in RF or the 400’s if you want to sit in the infield (this is what I chose). I think ScoreBoard Porch in LF is still available too (its in the 200’s and is not a horrible place to watch the game and includes $10 to spend on food/drink).

I got 4 tickets for section 307 row 12. At least it looks like those sections will be well represented.

They can say they will invade Shea on Sept 6th now, but when they are 20 games behind the Mets, Philadelphiaers will show their true colors and it will be eagle football time.

I got three seats for July 4, field level, third base side. Last year we sat in the first row of the scoreboard porch–they were pretty good seats and the $10 food coupon made it well worth the price. Hopefully we’ll get to a few more games at CPB this year.
