Lookout Landing

Sorry, error

Blame Dave!

Jeff Sullivan - December 21, 2009 reply

I shall!

But seriously, the USSM linked worked, and I got tickets. Yay!

Yay!

Just bought two.

melenious - December 21, 2009 reply

Me and my dad again.

Wouldn’t want to miss this for anything. Thanks for working on the location upgrade, guys.

Omerta - December 21, 2009 reply

Bought two tickets.

Thanks Dave!

And Matthew!

(just read the USSM post)

Awesome quote

but for everything you get, there’s no sense in bitching. Pay it and shut up.

I love this. It applies to so well to so many things, and not just in baseball.

Hooray

now there’s a small possibility that the mobile commenters will be able to get something by the end of the day.

Someone should make sure those unfortunate souls get in either way.

JY - December 21, 2009 reply

Regarding "physical tickets"?

If, like me, you were so eager not to get shut out again that you neglected to choose this, as requested, it is possible to go back into your order and select "change shipping", to go from will-call to USPS.

I was just about to ask the same question, I'd like to print them but haven't used this service before.

I’d rather not start messing with it and screw something up at this point.

Kermit. - December 21, 2009 reply

I believe you can

Several people reporting doing exactly that in the thread over at USSM for the first version of the event — they were able to go back and change the delivery option (to either mail or print at home) after the fact.

BPT is also quite responsive by email if you have any questions.

Yes, I changed my shipping option when I originally selected the wrong option

ChristopherA - December 21, 2009 reply

No success, used the tracking number and pulled up my order. The option for changing shipping/printing/etc is not available.

Kermit. - December 21, 2009 reply

I clicked on the link that was in my confirmation email; down by the "order status" is a highlighted "change shipping"

Ok, just tried it that way and same situation.

Did you order tickets on the second round or the first? That’s the only difference I can think of, other than the amount of time that has elapsed since my order was placed. Not that big of a deal other than accommodating the request for no will call.

Kermit. - December 21, 2009 reply

Second go-round.

This time

I had my wife get a ticket. I cant do it from work OR my phone.

chrisisasavage - December 21, 2009 via mobile reply

I missed out and know for a fact that Taylor did too. What are the odds of being able to get a couple from people who can't go, later?

gregrabble - December 21, 2009 reply

I plan on gaining entrance by impersonating Graham

.Taylor - December 21, 2009 reply

I'm going to be dishing out hand jobs to get in.

Scruffy Lefty - December 21, 2009 reply

How soft are your hands?

Rumors are his nickname is "KY"

kentroyals5 - December 21, 2009 reply

You have to go, it's the only time I ever see you

Oh, I'm in, there's no doubt about that.

Just wondering if I should hold out for more from Scruffy or give my other ticket to my friend, as promised.

So you're saying you have a extra ticket?

Let me get the body oil.

Scruffy Lefty - December 21, 2009 reply

Jackpot

Robert - December 21, 2009 reply

Keep checking. There's been some refunds and a few more tickets made open

Matthew - December 21, 2009 reply

Seeing as how Benaroya is expensive, will the expenses be fully covered by ticket sales?

Or at least to the same extent as they were had the event been held at the library? If not, I would be more than willing to pay the difference between what I paid for my tickets and the higher price for the tickets that went on sale today.

Aaron Campeau - December 21, 2009 via mobile reply

We're good

Aw Fuck!

Scruffy Lefty - December 21, 2009 reply

WTF seriously?

Can we just move the damn thing to Safeco Field?

seattlecougar - December 21, 2009 reply

Their biggest reception room is smaller than 540 people

I heard they have bleachers though

seattlebruin - December 21, 2009 reply

In January

I'd tough it out

seattlecougar - December 21, 2009 reply

Fanfest

kentroyals5 - December 21, 2009 reply

I heard they have a big-ass retractable roof

seattlebruin - December 21, 2009 reply

It's cold enough in late September

September?

I’ve frozen my ass off sitting in the shade in day games in July.

I need to start checking LL during school so I don't miss things like this...

Slurvey - December 21, 2009 reply

Some people will have to drop out at the last minute so keep your eyes peeled for ticket opportunities

Jeff Sullivan - December 21, 2009 reply

I hope my funds will hold up in the bidding fallout that will ensue for the ticket.

Slurvey - December 21, 2009 reply

Would anyone be willing to wear a wire to this event?

Janic - December 21, 2009 reply

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that would be a big no-no,

The Mariners FO people are able to say interesting things for the express reason that it’s not going public.

redwolf75 - December 21, 2009 reply

for the express reason it's off the record*

redwolf75 - December 21, 2009 reply

Off-the-record between the front office and 540 of their biggest fans, some of which also happen to be bloggers

Janic - December 21, 2009 reply

In the past summaries have been posted by the USSM/LL crew

but exact transcripts/videos/etc are not ever an option because they want the FO to keep coming to these things, and the best way to do that is to have Z and co. trust that these things will not be liveblogged/transcripted. It’s a conversation, not a press conference.

pdb - December 21, 2009 reply

Obviously we're not going to frisk everyone coming through the door

Just remember, if you do something stupid, you jeopardize the chances of these events happening in the future.

Jeff Nye - December 21, 2009 reply

[cough]

pictures and a description of the room where it’s being held.

I've never been to the Benaroya Hall before. What is it, some kind of theater type setup?

Goose - December 21, 2009 reply

Here's some

redwolf75 - December 21, 2009 reply

Oh wow. Very nice.

Goose - December 21, 2009 reply

"Throw distance from control booth is 75’ "

Hmmm, not 60’6" but… I think we can manage.

I suspect it's the Illsley Ball Recital Hal.

Well dammit

I'd think so.

“Illsley Ball Nordstrom Recital Hall: Beautifully understated, warmly inviting. This 540-seat auditorium offers the best of all worlds. Flexible and affordable, it offers an intimate setting for everything from big bands to business meetings to chamber ensembles. Community groups find the Recital Hall an ideal choice for fundraisers and concerts. Corporations praise the auditorium’s flexibility and convenience. Everyone finds a unique home in the Recital Hall. "

Uh oh.

I forsee some pushing and shoving backstage.

“One star dressing room with sink and lighted mirror. Two large dressing rooms with sinks and lighted mirrors.”

DIVAFIGHT!!!!!!

pdb - December 21, 2009 reply

I wonder how much the 2,500 seat Taper Auditorium costs.

This will be needed after we win the World Series next year.

Note on USSM has appeared

Second update: We’re seeing occasional refunds on tickets sold, so tickets do open up from time to time. It’s worth checking to see if any have become available if you’re still looking to get in.

This is pretty much turned into our version of a Star Trek convention hasn't it?

Goose - December 21, 2009 reply

Great. So I suppose we've got Z slash fiction to look forward to.

Rawr!

Comicon

I hope Red is there with his Beltre sign while we have a few Jack Zduriencik and Tony Blegino look-alikes. Maybe that Ichiro look-alike will make an appearance.

LL Mod look a like contests!
