Playoff tickets

[ashbury]

Does anyone here recall from past experience (2019, and on back) how easy it is to acquire Twins playoff tickets in advance? Me 'n' the boys are considering popping in for an impromptu visit to the Twin Cities, and wouldn't want to commit to airfare etc without pretty good confidence in having seats inside the ballpark.  Chances are we want just one game, which probably flies in the face of the team wanting to sell the full series?  Does the team do first-come-first-served or run a lottery?  With the rise of the online secondary market, are the prices consistently far higher than face, or does the "spot market" rise and then fall?  So many unknowns.  Would be fun but don't want to arrive and come away empty.

Good question, I already have flights but my brother lives in town.  Not sure about going yet but if I could find tickets easily it would certainly help.

I didn't have much trouble snagging a couple for game 3 in 2019. I can't remember which website I used to purchase the tix, but I remember a decent number were available.

Sure, you could get tickets like a normal person. Or, you could ask @wsnydeshow to watch the game from the crane off in the distance in LF…

Great view from up there.  The trouble is, depending on the wind direction, the view is obscured at times.  I still do a lot of watching on the radio.  But the radio reception is exceptional!

Good point about the wind direction… The cab is pretty cozy too. @ashburyif you want to go ahead and email the weight of your party ahead of time we’ll get you taken care of, no problem!

Shouldnt be much issue getting tickets when they release. Only hold up would be if they do try to force you into buying all 3 through the team, but even if thats the case there are so many secondary markets where its pretty easy to get tickets for a good price(relative to location and "face value" set by the team).

Twins and Wolves dont usually run too high. Even vikes premeire games are not too bad. Wild are the toughest

you wont have a problem early on.  season ticket holders are forced to buy the entire strip, so plenty of resale available on specific games
