Yeah , they seem to be sold out of the full issues, which were only $5.

If the Astros get to the World Series, what's the best guess for what aftermarket tickets (cheapest available) will go for? Does anyone remember from 2005 what they sold for then?


I remember some going for $1000-$1250.


Paid $675 for game 5 back in 2005.

No idea what the re-sell market was like, but here is some info on face value for 2005:


Quote:
There is a four-ticket purchase limit for each winner selected in the random drawing, subject to availability. Ticket prices for the World Series, as established by Major League Baseball, are $125-$185 per seat and $45 for standing room only. Ticket purchases must be made with a major credit card (American Express, VISA, Mastercard, Discover). Additional fees may apply.

Aww... no Booty Flakes. At least we know there won't be one pitcher giving up bombs coming out of the pen.

I'm giving Carlos a chance in October (especially vs RHP) given his 235 career postseason PA and 1.078 career postseason OPS...

They better be. With the indians playing the angels (who are chasing a wc spot), we have a chance to make up some lost ground.

That clip with Yuli is great. A year and a half ago he's in Cuba. Now he's celebrating a Division Championship in the land of the free by pouring blue Powerade on a red head.

'Murica.

Had a foul ball hit me right in the hand in the upper deck and dropped it.

Moncada continuing to be annoying. Single, SB and scores from second on a double.

It was bang-bang, and no reason for it to even be a close play.

Agreed, but I'm all the way out in center field, and I thought he made it back.

If Yuli's hurt, he doesn't need to be out there. If he's healthy, he needs to be a freaking professional and get his butt in gear.

He was out. Close but clearly out.

We look a little too loose out there. Somebody needs to wake up bats

McHugh was already to the 1B line when Springer caught that. That's what you call confidence.

He never did that with Gomez.

Lucas Giolito is one of the top pitching prospects in baseball. The White Sox may not have much in the bullpen or on offense (in comparison to the Astros), they don't lack in interesting young pitching (Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez, and Carlos Rodon, for example).

Hopefully the Astros have some better ABs the second and third time up against him.

Edit: If you like small sample stats, Giolito is running a 2.34 ERA as it stands right now.
