Got 6 as a season ticket holder.  Logged in right at 10a.  There was 1k ahead of me in the queue.  
 

With seating being first come, first serve, I’d recommend getting to the stadium early

This game is at Highmark. 70,000 will show up for this. 

 

 

Nah, they limit seating to a portion of the lower deck.

 

It's a weird experience.........the crowd is VERY local-heavy because it's not a big event to travel to........so people show up and then flee.

 

A couple years ago we walked out and traffic was jammed up like after a game so we decided to walk down the block and eat at Big Tree thinking it would be packed and there was one person at the bar and one couple seated waiting to be served food and that was it.

Makes sense. At first, I thought it would be at TC in which case I could see a sellout but a packed house at Highmark for this no way.

Didn’t bother since I know non-SHs have no chance. Yeah, I am bitter. 

It's kinda bull#### though. People just gobbling up 6 at a time and you know damn well a bunch will go unused.

 

In the meantime I can't get two so I can take my kid. Yeah I'm sorta bitter about greedy people myself.

I got in queue when it opened to public at 1:00 and got tix

I went on right at 1 and once in the queue there was something like 11,000 ahead of me. Maybe within ten minutes I got on and snagged four.

 

I have never been.. it’s is worth the drive up to see? I have two boys who have not yet been to the stadium. Thought it might be fun, not sure how close you can get to the field.

 

If we decide not to go I’m happy to give them up freely to a family.

Exactly. It would be a dream to take my two young boys to a single pre-season or TC activity. Like one time even.

Yeah, you want to take loved ones to the stadium but so do season ticket holders who have groups of family and friends who otherwise can't attend in-season because they can't afford tickets or work weekends or because their parents don't want them around the adult environment in-season etc..    That's why the ST holders get priority for this extravaganza.     If you don't like it.......there is a preseason game there 8 days later you can get into for REALLY cheap.  

 

Next time you are irritated about "greedy" people getting priority to free things then sign yourself up as a season ticket holder and get in line for all the perks.   Next year you will even get a chance to pay full price for TWO preseason games.  ;)

FWIW, if anyone has clubs there are still plenty of available. I forgot about it and just logged in and was able to get 4 of them. They give parking and free food / non-alcoholic drinks. I don’t know if I’m going to go or not. I’m at camp the day before and find that to be a lot more interesting. If not, I’m happy to donate.
