Yes, you are taking a risk with Craigslist. Thank you for pointing that out. I understood this and was worried, but thankfully, every purchase was legit for me. Once you know a legit seller, you can reliably go back to that person if they offer other tickets. I avoided the expensive tickets that sounded a bit too good to be true and stuck with people selling cheaper seats. It also helped that for one game, the generous person was giving away tickets to veterans.

Every single game so far this year, you could have gone to the ticket window at the game and purchased seats together, even on opening day. Opening Day, the stadium had many people attend, but there were still plenty of open seats. No game has been close to selling out yet.

I live 1.5 hours away from Target Field. This is my first year as a season ticket holder with the 40 game flex plan. Yes, it’s pricey. But I was going to take my hard core fan teen daughter anyway. It’s our bonding time. With gas prices skyrocketing, that alone has added huge costs to what I’ll pay over the season. But there are ways to help save money. I use park and ride on the Metro. As a vet, I ride free and my guests also ride free (fine print says only me, but police always allow my guests to ride free, too. Thank you!) This also means no parking costs. If I park near the stadium, I use ParkWhiz. It’s often cheaper even with my season ticket parking discount. If I plan far enough ahead, I can usually find $5 parking close enough. You are allowed to take bottled water and packaged snacks. This helps save money with crazy cost of food and drinks at Target Field. I use a single compartment draw string bag that complies with rules. It saves a ton of money at the game. Low attendance is actually good for the bargain hunter. Buy cheap seats and move up to better seats. Don’t buy tickets from resellers! They charge fees that can double the cost of cheap tickets. Buy directly from the Ballpark app. This year, there are no fees. Otherwise, buy at the ticket window. You still need Ballpark app, but again, no fees. Last year, I also got tickets from Craigslist. This is good for better seats as you can find OK to good deals. Again, no fees if buying from individuals (Resellers also use CL.) If you know you are going to attend a bunch of games, season tickets really do make sense. You pay face value. You can buy smaller packages. You can share a plan with other people. The Twins encourage this and provide the online space to do this. You can also pay monthly. I bought my tickets in November of 21 and so my monthly ended up being over 10 months. There is no interest and no fees with monthly plan. The perks are really fun and cool if you haven’t done this before. My daughter loves doing the extras. If you follow other teams, you also get free MLBtv and can watch live games outside of your local area. Twins also offer standing room only monthly plans. If you know you are going to attend a lot of games during a month, it comes out to around $5 a game, no fees. It’s standing room only, but right now, you can find lots of open seats, even good ones. Attendants rarely ever check your seats, especially after game starts. If you are a student, you can attend many games for $5 and get free Metro ride to games. There are many ways to save money and enjoy the Twins. These are what I’ve done or know about. Get out and support the Twins. They are good this year and could have a great season. I even think they have a great shot at making the playoffs. With my season tickets, I’m guaranteed tickets at face value.

Obviously, I have no way of knowing, but I’m thinking Buxton’s knee is still bothering him. He should be rested and allowed to fully heal. Gordon and Celestino may not be Buxton at this best, but they are holding CF down when Buxton doesn’t play. Royce Lewis is being moved around in the minors to gain experience at other positions. I say even let him play CF to allow Buxton to fully heal. The Twins have options and that is good.. Take advantage of it.

I’m a new Twins fan as of second half of last season. I got season tickets this year. I did the monthly plan over 10 months and there is no interest or fees. The extra perks have been a lot of fun for my daughter, who is the real hardcore Twins fan. Not going to say it’s cheap, but it’s doable. Twins also offer monthly standing room only plans for around $50 a month. The way the seats are empty so far, it’s super easy to find good open seats down below. Beer is not cheap, lol, but it’s a way to get to the games for half the price of cable per month, and you can choose what months you want it. You can also pool with others for season tickets and still get some of the perks. I also get free MLBTV with my season tickets. While it’s no good for Twins games with the blackouts, I’m also a Brewers fan and paid for MLBTV last year. With all these perks, and knowing I was going to take my daughter to the games anyway, it made a lot of sense. She loves all the extra perks.

I’ve never lived in the Twin Cities area. I live about an hour and a half away. But I have worked in the Cities for years with my former part-time job. Like you, I was aware of the riots after Floyd. But I never once felt like the Cities were any more dangerous after all that settled down. I either park and ride on the Metro to Twins games, or park in the Orpheum Theater lot. The Metro was getting really bad with the homeless selling drugs and even smoking in the cars. I think that has been addressed. It was much better a couple weeks ago. I’ll find out at tonight’s game. When we park at the lot, there are homeless around, but I never feel unsafe.

I agree with the crime. I do park and ride on the Metro. Earlier this season, the homeless were getting terrible on the Metro. I don’t care if they ride to escape the cold, but they were selling drugs and smoking in the cars. That was unacceptable. They would always hop off right before Target Field. I think it’s been addressed as last time, I noticed much less homeless and none of the illegal activities.
