Mets v. Yanks--do I sell??
 

I have two tickets for game 5. My wife wants me to sell them for a nice profit and I want to go to the game. Do I strive for domestic harmony or do I sell my tickets to the highest bidder?? I am torn.

Well, silly you, do you want to enjoy the game or stay married? Any way you can inspire your wife to be interested?

trade the wife in for a player to be named later and take a buddy to the game.

Oh, that's easy. Sell her ticket and give her the money to buy whatever she wants. Problem solved.

Dear Jeff, <BR> <BR>Wake up and smell the coffee! Marriage is God's greatest gift to mankind. A wife, properly nurtured, can be your rock and your salvation, not to mentioned the source of lots of good eats. <BR> <BR>So to keep the peace, you should sell both tickets for face value. Then you should donate the proceeds to your wife's favorite charity. That should give you both a warm glow in your hearts as you settle down on the davenport to watch Game 5. As you can see, it is not too hard to gain marital bliss and save the world at the same time.

Dear Jeff - it is a non-problem -- there will be no game five -- yankees are going to win it in four

Jeff, I live in New York and would love to see the game. I tried to get tickets yesterday over the phone for 6 hours and was not able to get through. I am a big Yankees and it would be great to have the opportunity to see the game. <BR> <BR>If you are interested in selling the tickets, I would be interested. You can email [email protected] <BR> <BR>Thanks

<BR>Sell the anonomously, "as is", for big bucks, then hope the Yanks win in 4. You won't miss the game but still keep the cash.

What I would love to pay to see... <BR> <BR>"Ann Landers" and "GOL" at a dinner table talking about the virtues of life and the capitalist system. Fodors does bring out a disparity of opinions.

How can anyone take seriously advice given by someone who calls a couch a "davenport"???

Jeff: <BR>What this question has to do with travel?

Sells her's and give her the money! Go and have a good time -- even though you'll be by yourself. <BR> <BR>An understanding partner doesn't demand the other do something. Marriage is a great gift; demanding/guilting your partner isn't. <BR>

If you are a Yankees fan GO!!!! If you're a Mets fan..might as well sell..they are going to lose anyway!! What kind of a person would try to make you miss a game like this??? It's the World Series...FROGET ABOUT PROFIT..Go To The GAME!!!

Doesn't anybody see that Jeff never wanted any advice? He just wanted to advertise the fact that he had two tickets to scalp without being obvious, thus circumventing the list rules.

<BR>*(just for fun) <BR> <BR>HEY! Jeff. Puleeeease. Please don't use my *name* near, associated with, related to or affiliated with Ann Landers or any form of journalists / media. <BR> <BR>I agree with notasucker that the intent was to sell the tix. By the way, anyone know if the other "trap" posting yielded any travel agents ("calling all travel agents, please write me, I need help")?

GIVE them to ME!!!! Problem solved, wasn't that easy.

Thanks for all your advice. I think I am going (especially since my wife is finally getting into the series after Sunday's exciting almost comeback). <BR> <BR>As for Not A Sucker, I guess you don't live in NYC for otherwise you would realize that I would not need Fodors to sell the tickets. If you still have doubts, maybe Paul wouldn't mind if you or Fodors ask him if I responded to his e-mail.

<BR> <BR>Jeff: <BR> <BR>It's not too late! SELL! If what I've read is true, you're holding a minimum of $1500. Sell the tickets: take her to an early dinner, watch the game at the sports bar of your choice, buy your spouse a gift. You'll have enough left for twenty regular-season games next season. And think of the reward.

If there is a game five, go. I've lived and loved baseball for 50 plus years and have been out in the parks since I was a baby. Baseball and the World Series can be life long memories. Not replaceable by any other experience if you love the game. If you love it- GO! Nothing replaces being there to a true fan- and no one with YOUR best interests in their hearts would let you miss it. Wish I could be there.

It will not come down to game 5. It is obvious now that the Yankees are going to win in 4 and I am very disappointed <BR>because I really hate them!!! But the Mets team has no heart (as Piazza's incident clearly showed).

Mets have no heart? <BR>Piazza had class - he didn't stoop to Clemens' level of stupidity and temper. <BR> <BR>Sorry you don't see the obvious. <BR>And they will come back and win the World Series. Just wait and see. <BR> <BR>

mea culpa - there WILL be a game five

Uh excuse me - there will now be a game 5. :)

Dear Jeff, After you go to the game, would you please, please tell us what it was like. THANKS!

Really, guys, we on the WEst Coast don't really give a damn who wins the series Give it a rest.

To sum up how many of us in the rest of the country feel about this series: <BR> <BR>I don't care who wins the series as long as the fans of the winning team burn that city to the ground.

Hey-The price of those tickets just increased-Now there is a game 5! <BR> <BR>

<BR> <BR>seamsu: <BR> <BR>Please don't try to speak for all of us.

Final Decision--- <BR> <BR>I am (I mean we are)going tonight. <BR> <BR>Thank you all for your advice.

Well, Jeff, I'll bet you're glad you went!! <BR> <BR>... I hope you're a Yankee fan...

Sniff, Sniff, Sniff

Ran out of the stadium after the ninth so I wouldn't have to commute with the Yankee fans. <BR> <BR>NY fans are great though. Chicago fans overturn cars and start fires win or lose. For god sakes, even Canadian fans started a riot after the NY Rangers won in 1994. Nothing happened after Rocker came to NY. Is the media finally getting tired of predicting or hoping that NY fans act unruly. Give it up.
