Opening Day/Boston Ticket Code Swap Discussion Thread

Print"I have a code I'm not using!"
"I need a code, can anyone help PLZZZZ"
"I have 1 extra ticket, does anybody want it?"
If any of the above statements describes your situation in regard to Opening Day/Boston ticket buying, then this is the thread for you.
Do not discuss financials or anything in here, just "I WILL TAKE THEM" or similar, and then conduct real business via email.
Pretty much if you were here for the postseason then just do it like that.

Dude, I'm sorry
I went ahead at 11 am for fear of not getting anything. You may have another shot later, or grab somebody’s code here. Sorry again.

If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there is a man on base.

Isn’t stub hub some sort of wing of Ticketmaster?

No worse than before I believe
$4 a ticket “convenience” charge has been pretty standard before. Or am I remembering wrong?

gotcha
Not a fan either. I bought symphony tickets thru them a couple of years back, and the charge was close to $8 a ticket. Ridiculous.

Yeah, it kind of looks like they took the Rockies “per order” charge and put it as a “per ticket” charge. Still, $5 per is better than the time I paid $78 on ticketmaster for two tickets that cost $25.

Got 4 seats to each game, Outfield Club level
I hate that getting “best available” at 11:03 meant I couldn’t get Infield Box.
Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave
I'm back!!
After missing my first home opener EVER last year, I did not miss this chance to buy.
Ready for a cold beer and Rockies championship baseball!
Ignorance of the American League is a sign of good moral character.
Look out Dodgers...Purple objects in mirror are closer than they appear.
I'll be the guy in a orange shirt EVERY Monday...Broncos are my team win or lose.
this is a disaster...
the new interface is terrible…you cant select certain price ranges like before…
unless i buy later, which i might, this will be the first opener i miss in 4 years.
I'm having the same issues
looks like all the reasonably priced seats for opening day were gone in a flash. All that’s left is the $100 seats, and I can’t really afford that…
SIGH
This would have been my first opening day, too…
Attention Whore.
if my mom craps out you can use our 4th OD ticket

Seriously though, thanks for the offer.
Attention Whore.
Always hard for me to tell this far out...
…but I may ultimately have a ticket(s) available to one to four of those games.
It’s possible work may make me unavailable.

though it was one of the most expensive moments of my life, 4 upper right field opening day two upper rightfields for games 2 and 3 each of the bosox. GOODBYE SAVINGS!

And I was looking around at the seating views of Target field, that looks like a pretty nice one.

Got my seats!
In 302 for OD and 305 for one of the Boston games.
Wasn’t going to get Red Sox tickets, but they’re the only team I’ve never seen in person. I’m giving the tickets to my brother for his birthday so we can go together.
The Colorado Rockies aren't a team, they're an armada.
Part of me wonders
if there is only a limited selection of seats available for this “pre-sale”. Meaning, they are steering everyone towards the $100.00 seats, plus a few extra in other sections. The rest would then be available when the rest of the tickets go on sale in a couple of weeks. Everyone that can’t afford the big guys should try back then. Opening Day hasn’t sold out on day one yet (in my experience).
Regardless, I got my seats where I wanted them, because it’s my friend and my one big splurge for the year. Opening Day is worth every penny to us.
Oh, and I have his extra code (we covered our bases)
I wouldn’t be able to email anyone that wanted it until I get home from work though (around 6 p.m.).
Well, it is a limited number
and remember that (I think) all partial season tix plan holders got to option these before today, which would limit the # of seats available.
But I don’t think everyone was steered to the $100 seats, because I was never even given an option of those even when selecting “best available”. Best I could get were the $60s. Which I’m not really complaining about, but I was hoping for most awesome seats, and not the left field corner of club level.

I kept at it, figuring that some people didn't want the expensive ones
And theirs would be thrown back into the pool. Eventually I hit on some in 140. Little farther back than I would like, but I won’t complain too much!

Club level actually works for me here, because the elevator will be helpful to my wife
My only regret is it’s sections 246 and 247, and not, say, 237 and 238…but really, there’s no “bad” seats there, just different degrees of heaven.

Currently sitting in
Section 145
Row 33
for Opening Day. Since I don’t know if I will be in town for the Boston series I didn’t buy tickets

anybody get rockpiles?
they weren’t available at all for any game so I’m guessing either those ALL went first or they’re not putting them out yet.

yeah thats the conclusion i came to
and that sucks dong.

Got 4 tickets
For opening day and 6/24. Section 311 for opening day, section 333 for 6/24. Not the greatest seats ever, but, I’m poor. Especially at this time of year.
Never done opening day before, so I’m super excited!
I'm going to Opening Day! Expensive, though.

Quick question for those who did the print at home option
Has anyone been able to print their tickets out yet? Or will we have to wait until the week of the game or so to print them out? When I go to the link from my email, it says “Ticket delivery for this event will be delayed and should be available within 24 hours.” Of course, it has said that for the last 3 days.
Anyways, just making sure I’m not the only one waiting to print em!
Caution: Colorado teams are better than they appear.
The confirmation page said
that you would not be able to print tickets until the 19th because they needed time to verify you didn’t buy more than the allowed four tickets. You should be able to print them tomorrow.
Ah thanks
I must’ve glossed over that part >.<

I just checked my tickets
It said ticket printing has been delayed and should be available within 24 hours. I’ll check again tomorrow I guess. But like ShadowPenguin said, I have two months before I need to print them.
Yeah, I think I’ll have to do the same. I tried to go to the site today and now I’m getting an Error Processing Request page.

Does anybody still have an extra code?
I’m late to the party, but just found out that I’ll likely be heading out there for opening weekend for the fourth straight season! I’ve paid tons of money on eBay for Opening Day tix in each of the past three seasons, so hopefully I can avoid going that route this time.

Well, as things stand, I'm very likely to have one extra hard ticket for opening day
It’s in the outfield club, section 246 or 247, I forget which.
No extra code, though.

I’ll probably have to consult eBay again…thanks, though.

I don't think the presale
sold out – you might check on it when all single game tickets go on sale.

I tried to buy fireworks game tickets today with the presale
