When folks get the email from the Nationals letting them know when they can buy single game tickets including opening day, can you please post that you received it? My season ticket representative assures me that I will get the email, but in the past, their communication has been spotty... I had to call them to get my 20 game plan assignment the night before they were available to the public (i.e. no deposit)...I never heard from them.

Eric: At one time I had a similar problem receiving emails for Season Ticket Holders--you might want to leave a comment at the season ticket holder email: stcomments@nationals.com and explain that you are not receiving emails from the team. When I had this problem before, an I.T. Person from The Nationals contacted me and everything has been fine since.

In the meantime,when the team sends out information about Single Game Purchases for Season Ticket Holders--I will let you know.

But, the information provided for this post--comes from the team's Official Release--it was not sent to Ticket Holders--just so you know.

Eric said...

Thanks SBF! I'll do that.

Jim H said...

Interesting. When I've been in club seats in other stadiums, there's been in seat wait service. I only see references here to the President's and Diamond club seats having that service.

Not in the Stars and Stripes club?

Screech's Best Friend said...

Jim h--I checked with The Nationals and was told that Stars & Stripes Club DOES NOT have "In Seat" Waiter Service.

SBF,

If the Stars & Stripes club level is sold out why would they publish single game prices for the club level?

Screech's Best Friend said...

theduude: The same holds true for some other sold out sections, but what they are doing is establishing a Price Level--for all seats--to cover whatever situation my rise--in years down the line. its a Business Sense move.

Brandon said...

Oh boy...I'm going to be on the phone early that morning to make sure I get some 3/30 tickets.

Also, kind of lackluster promotions, particularly on opening night...a lanyard? Bah.

And only one bobblehead all season? Bah.

Two bobbleheads. Dmitri Young on Thursday 5/1 and Ryan Zimmerman on Thursday 6/5.

hi

saw screech's best friend on tv this morning, found your site, and saw there is a promotional announcement about negro leagues day--may 3rd, and my gallery has (for this weekend, but through may 30th) a show of original art by an artist who created the first ever baseball cards for many of the negro league players (esp. homestead grays guys like ray brown, jud wilson, josh gibson, and willie wells) in 1990, they are watercolors and the show opens at ArtInsights in Reston Town Center on Saturday (the 29th of March) maybe some of your diehard friend/fans of Washington might want to come out. (www.artinsights.com has info) i've been going into washington and finding fans who used to go to grays games in the 40s when they played at griffin stadium.

so, love to see you at the gallery, (2-5 sat is the opening-but the show continues) and have an amazing time and fun at the new park on Sunday!
