Season ticket arrival?

billfer · #1 (**permalink**) 03-27-2007, 03:15 PM

Has anybody received their season tickets yet?

EppOnite · #2 (**permalink**) 03-27-2007, 03:19 PM

Nope. I'm checking everyday and I've called the Ball Park 3 times. Today they told me that they did the shipping later than usual this year. Don't worry, I gave them sh**.

Got mine a couple weeks ago, but I only ordered a 6-game package.

Oblong · #4 (**permalink**) 03-27-2007, 03:40 PM

I didn't get a tracking # but that could be because I switched email accounts and it may have went to my old account.

Did anyone else get a tracking #.

bleacherguy · #5 (**permalink**) 03-27-2007, 03:48 PM

Still waiting. I called last week and was told they'd ship Friday. Haven't had a chance to check today yet.

yupislyr · #6 (**permalink**) 03-27-2007, 03:59 PM

You'd think I'd get them faster if they're being shipped from Canada. Still no sign of 'em yet though.

Twehttam · #7 (**permalink**) 03-27-2007, 04:33 PM

Haven't received mine yet (27-gamer). This is cutting it too close, IMO. Only three mailing days left before OD (plus Saturday delivery, if they chose that service).

juiceman · #8 (**permalink**) 03-27-2007, 04:33 PM

I received an e-mail from the ticket office around the middle of last week. It stated that all season tickets & packages would be sent out starting March 23rd.

Oblong · #9 (**permalink**) 03-27-2007, 06:14 PM

If they dno't arrive by tomorrow then I'll be concerned.

Can you imagine if there's a breakdown and a bunch of people don't get their tickets for opening day? That'll be one heck of a line at Will Call.

Really? I ordered a 6-game package as well, but still haven't received mine. I expect they will show up by Thursday.

yupislyr · #11 (**permalink**) 03-27-2007, 07:15 PM

Well, it looks like they finally have their "My Tiger Tickets" service up at least. I'll print them out myself for opening day if I have to. Things will be enough of a circus without having to wait in line at will call.

Edit: Although now that I look through the site further, I'm not sure that printing tickets is even an option for ticket transfers. Bah

Oblong · #12 (**permalink**) 03-27-2007, 07:26 PM

I've been waitingon that. I got 333 for opeing day.

Simple Simon · #13 (**permalink**) 03-27-2007, 08:03 PM

Mine has been somewhat of a fiasco so far. They waited until Monday to tell me they ran out of seats in my section and therefore "upgraded" my opening day seats and I owed a balance. I had to pay via phone and they would mail the tickets after that...

Hopefully someone gets in touch with me...I got my 15 game pack in the mail today, minus opening day

I'll get on the phone tomorrow to deal with it, but I'll fight tooth and nail if they are reneging on opening day...I bought the package back in December! Has anyone else run into these problems?

bleacherguy · #15 (**permalink**) 03-27-2007, 08:24 PM

Nothing today, either.

mckibbka · #16 (**permalink**) 03-27-2007, 08:32 PM

contacted my rep. yesterday...wrote back saying he just got his first set of tracking numbers and i wasn't on there...heard that everyone's should arrive by friday...sounds a little too close for my liking

billfer · #17 (**permalink**) 03-27-2007, 08:57 PM

Yeah, this is kind of frustrating. Early on I tried to beat the demand and bought 4 tickets from stubhub. This was back in January. It'll be tough for my seller to ship what he doesn't have.

Oblong · #18 (**permalink**) 03-27-2007, 09:07 PM

I haven't gotten that far into the My Ticket Account, but can you print the tickets on there without penalty or fee?

This has the makings of a PR disaster for the Tigers.

That's the exact reason for the delivery so close to Opening Day, to try and curb scalping. I've had tickets for 8 years and they've always delivered in mid-March, except now there is incredible demand for Opening Day. Even the 15 game packages that printed and shipped directly from the Tigers/tickets.com did not include the tickets for OD. The idea is to send the "hot" ticket so close to the event that there isn't enough time to mail them to a secondary buyer.

I was poking around it today and it looks like you can print without a charge. If you want to forward your tickets to someone else you can install 3 people for the season for which there will be no charge and if you transfer to anyone besides the 3 designated people it is $2.00 per ticket.

My girlfriend and I bought tickets for the 5th from one of the brokers here on Motowntickets. We contacted them over the weekend, asking when we could expect to see them, and they responded saying they would have the tickets by the 27th, and then we'd get them by the 30th.

It will probably be a little bit of a different timeframe for you, since it's a different seller you've bought from, but hopefully things will work out in time for you.

Yeah. I hope so. I know it's a risk, and with stubhub I know that the worst case scenario is I don't get tickets and get my money back. Of course I'd just prefer to get the ticket.

My girlfriend's Dad got his on Friday, but I've yet to receive mine.

Ig's Icers · #24 (**permalink**) 03-28-2007, 03:43 PM

Just got mine an hour ago. They are full season tickets and were delivered by UPS.

Do they look sweet? Mine arrived but noone was there so i'll have to go pick them up.

Twehttam · #26 (**permalink**) 03-28-2007, 04:56 PM

Mine are scheduled to arrive tomorrow, but no one will be home so it'll be a cluster having to pick them up on Friday while UPS is still open. I'm still amazed why they waited so long to mail these out.

dadair6 · #27 (**permalink**) 03-28-2007, 05:13 PM

Nothing today. I figured there'd be a "sorry we missed you" note left on my door, but nothing.

From wxyz.com:

Season Ticket Holders Roar, Tigers Answer

The Detroit Tigers swear they've fixed a glitch that has delayed the shipment of some season tickets, and sparked anxiety for fans awaiting Opening Day.
In a message obtained by WXYZ.com, the Tigers' Vice President of Communications Rob Matwick admits tickets went out "about a week later than expected" and he apologizes for the inconvenience.

"We anticipate the last shipment of season tickets will be delivered to fans on Thursday or at the latest on Friday," Matwick said in the statement. "We are going to have extended hours at our box office and in our season ticket sales office to handle any issues that arise."

Ticket office hours will be 9 a.m. - 9 p.m. on Thursday and Friday and 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Fans with questions can call 313-471-2255.

Update: Tickets arrived just now. UPS driver knew what they were and is waiting for his too! :)

Lbh24 · #30 (**permalink**) 03-28-2007, 06:02 PM

It's on Channel 7 right now.

Rock & Rye · #31 (**permalink**) 03-28-2007, 07:15 PM

Mine will be in tomorrow (27 game plan) It could be worse, due to a "glitch" D.C. Nationals fans might not get thier tickets until after opening day. Here's the full story.

mckibbka · #32 (**permalink**) 03-28-2007, 11:09 PM

Got mine today...picked up at the UPS station and said i HAD to have them today..so i went and got them as they came off the truck pretty much. They're pretty cool looking..nothing spectacular though...player pictures on them in the form of a TOPPS baseball card. The cover is cool with 5 or 6 players standing in a line for the national anthem at the world series

dreg2003 · #33 (**permalink**) 03-29-2007, 12:19 AM

I freaking missed mine, I didnt get home from school untill around 7 and there was a little ups sticker on my door saying they missed me. I guess they are going to try again on thursday

DET Mr Malefic · #34 (**permalink**) 03-29-2007, 02:24 AM

Got mine today. I'm happy.

Oblong · #35 (**permalink**) 03-29-2007, 02:30 PM

mine have arrived.

dadair6 · #36 (**permalink**) 03-29-2007, 04:33 PM

Mine arrived. I got home from work and there wasn't a missed delivery notice so I was pretty hot, but the UPS man left them in the side door. I thought they had to be signed for, but I bet UPS was told to leave them because there isn't enough time to try again.

billfer · #37 (**permalink**) 03-29-2007, 05:59 PM

My StubHub seller got his today, so I'm in the clear.

Oblong · #38 (**permalink**) 03-29-2007, 06:13 PM

due to the situations with brokers getting their tickets so late I bet there's going to be a lot available on Monday.

Wow, it definitely looks that way.

According to ups.com, my tix arrived at 5:20, and I've been home from work since like 4pm. Nice of them to NOT even ring the doorbell. I just found out they were in my mailbox 10 mins ago. Hah. Oh well... glad they're here though

Oblong · #40 (**permalink**) 03-29-2007, 08:12 PM

They put them in your mailbox? It's sort of against the law to put anything other than US Mail in the mailbox.
