Dave,
Yes, foul poles can be a problem over there, but not always.
I once sat in Kaline’s corner, row 30, seat 1, and there was not a problem with the foul pole obstructing my view as I was in the middle of the row. Unfortunately, the people about ten seats down probably had a hard time. Hopefully you are one of the lucky ones.

I got a couple of obstructed views in right and left.
Anyone ever sat in Kaline’s corner?
Probably just the foul poles right?

I too logged on at five minutes to ten this morning and was met with the virtual waiting room bruhaha…I was starting to get worried 45 minutes into the ordeal but I wound up getting great seats to the 3 games I wanted (on top of the previously purchased 15 game package I already had) all in all not a bad experience but it was a little frustrating at the begining… A small price to pay for supporting our Kitties!!!!!

I got tickets this morning on Stub Hub very easily at about 11:15am. I got very good seats for under original sale price and I didn’t have to wait at all. I purchased two tickets in “section 117 row 5″ for $31 each ($32 is the Tigers price). I’m going to the game against Chicago on Sunday, April 6th at 8:05pm, and I think Verlander will be pitching! I’m VERY EXCITED if you can’t tell.

I just wish I saw those StubHub coupons before. Oh well.

Looks like one Dodgers blog got a hold of the Inge-to-LA rumor and HATES it:

Got in and grabbed 4 seat for 5/5 vs Red Sox in about 10 mins. Not too shabby.

Kyle – The obstructed view seats I had for the World Series in 06 had the foul poul in the way. Not that big of a deal depending what seat you are in.

If you have to use Stubhub, try using one of these codes. I’m pretty sure they work on all baseball games:

WEL03081 – $20 off – Expires 4/10/2008

WEL03082 – $20 off – Expires 4/17/2008

WEL04081 – $20 off – Expires 5/15/2008

WEL04082 – $20 off – Expires 5/22/2008

I think there’s other ones out there as well. MLB and Stubhub have a partnership, so I expect there to be deals like this throughout the season. You just have to search around for them.

Kyle, from my experience with “obstructed view” in the playoffs in ‘06, there’s no pole, but perhaps a railing around the stairs that may be in the way a bit.

I had to leave for my son’s basketball game and just left my virtual waiting room open. I swung by Hockeytown Authentics about noon and there were probably 50 people in line. I came home and my virtual waiting room had let me in. Got tickets for the other 2 games I wanted.

I heard Jim Price say on the radio that tickets are also available at select Detroit Area Meijer Stores

Just keep hitting the continue Greg. Best to go with “Best Available” seats.

And done. Maybe I need to move back to Detroit.

I’m in the window (not the 15 second thing), but it gives the message above, even when I try for one ticket.

This is terriby frustrating after 105 minutes of waiting.
