So? The seats are $85 face value. I don't know about you, but my family and I aren't in position to hand out $85 to everyone. If you ever tried getting GOOD seats to a Giants game (ours are good seats in the lower deck) -- in a playoff year -- then you'd understand how mere access to face-value tickets is already a generous thing for me to offer. Otherwise, go enjoy a $300 nosebleed ticket from a scalper. Not much fun. Our friends who are real fans are thrilled about the chance for non-crappy, non-extortion tickets. Every year they come out of the woodwork to "remind" us that if we ever have extra, blah blah blah. I did a nice thing by offering some to you, and I'm not going to feel guilty if you think it wasn't nice enough.

Cause EK tries to make it sound like he's doing someone a favor by selling them the ticket at exactly what it cost. Im sure Phil, like others, thought he meant he could go with him to the game for free. That's like saying " Dude, you are more than welcome to come to my beach house. Just give me 1500 for rent for the week"
This reminds me of when EK got a FREE coupon in the mail for $500 off a new mazda and wanted to sell it for $250.

What the ticket costs my family, as season ticket owners, is completely different from what anyone else can get on the street, StubHub, etc. I'm not being subtle: good seats for this team, at face value, ARE a favor to most real fans. If you can't understand that .... well that's your problem.

well i don't know what really happened here but face value for desirable tickets can't be assumed to be valued at face value when the game come around. my wife and her mom own season tickets to the eagles and i can't understand them not selling every single one of them for a serious profit. that said, when they can't go they sell their tickets at face value to friends who are more than willing to pay just to be able to get good seats.

Baseball is on par with golf (pun intended) boring as ****! I have to admit the World Series is slightly more exciting than regular season, but its still just a bunch of damn spitting guys standing around hitting a ball with a bat. If they played the game with grenades instead of a baseball, and there were mines randomly placed in the field I could get into it. Otherwise I have to pry my eyes open to watch more than a few innings. I think my main issue is the spitting. People that spit all the time infuriate me. I used to work construction and 2 of my co workers used to chew and hey would all the ******* time spit big wads of that **** out of the skid loader I was about to have to take over operating, and when I would get in there would be spit all over everything in the cab... 
Even the players that don't chew spit just for the sake of spitting. I don't get it.
