I'm going the "eBay" route. Should be about to get them for $400 each, bleacher seats.

I believe the All-Star game tickets are going to be offered randomly to season plan holders. Can anyone confirm that? It concerns me to see them on sale through other ticket outlets around the country.

I believe that A & B plans (full and half season) will get tickets and the rest of the plans will get a pre-sale crack at tickets. They may have a random drawing for the general public after that, but I haven't heard anything.

i have a season ticket plan, and it basically states that they will do their best to offer us tickets, no guarantees

A&B get a chance to buy their tickets but only if they have had tickets 2 seasons or more. You might not get your exact tickets but they will do their best to keep you close. A&B holders that just got tickets this year will get a password to put their names into a lottery to get a shot at buying their tickets. This is supposed to go for both the HR Derby and the game itself.

Thanks for the scoop!

Have you noticed that all these ticket agencies already have allstar tix that they are selling? How can that be? MLB should look into it.

I can understand that some ticket agencies either own their own season tickets are wired to season ticket holders that they access to. What puzzles me is that they seem to know what section, seat and row they will have - how the hell do they know that? I'm not even sure the tickets are even printed yet.

"MLB and the Yankees will use commercially reasonable business efforts to offer existing Full Season, A Plan and B Plan Ticket Licensees the opportunity to purchase a license for Tickets equal to the quantity of Ticket(s) in said Ticket Licensee's Ticket Account, not necessarily in the same seat locations (subject to availability), for the All-Star events scheduled to be held at the Stadium and the DHL All-Star FanFest."

Keystone Cops at the Yankees and MLB

Still no word on who is going to be able to get All-Star game tickets, by when, and for how much. I just called the Yankees again and the space cadet in the Bronx had this to say: "We don't have any information about tickets, we don't know anything, and we won't know when we'll know anything".

So basically this looks like it's going to be a last minute ticket sale. Apparently MLB is in charge and is deciding everything which makes me wonder how the Yankees can promise B-plan or better ticketholders from last year that they will get tickets.

I think a lot of people are going to get screwed, including those that have already bought tickets from eBay and StubHub. If you look at the eBay sales, the ones that have sold are listed in Tier 36 row V, that they will ship the game of the week, and that they reserve the right to substitute for better tickets. Basically those brokers have ticket plans and assume they're getting All-Star game tickets and selling them for cash right now expecting that they'll be granted tickets. If they aren't, then the buyers are out their tickets and any interest on the cash they used.

Anyways, I WANT MY ALL STAR GAME TICKETS, and I hope the Yankees push to get this thing organized soon because the clock is ticking

You'd probably be lucky to get this seat location...

Nothing official about that thread, you even have bad information about tickets being on sale.
