World Baseball Classic - tickets?

[Dutch Girl]

Hi guys!

I am planning to go to Puerto Rico to encourage the Dutch (& Cuban) team.

Does anybody know when the tickets are available & teamrosters are publiced?

I also understand that poule B is played in the USA (Florida & Arizona). If somebody knows the exact locaties of the games, I would like to hear that as well.

kind regards, Dutch girl

Dutch girl,

Originally, tickets for Puerto Rico were to go on sale December 10th, while the venues in the US proper started selling on the 12th.

As for venues, here is the latest information:

First Round

Pool A--Japan, Korea, Chinese Taipei, and China (March 3-5): Tokyo Dome, Tokyo, Japan

Pool B--U.S., Canada, Mexico and South Africa (March 7-10): Chase Field aka "the BOB", Phoenix, Arizona and Scottsdale Stadium, Scottsdale, Arizona

Pool C--Puerto Rico, Cuba, Netherlands, and Panama (March 7-10): Estadio Hiram Bithorn, San Juan, Puerto Rico

Pool D--Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Italy, and Australia (March 7-10): Cracker Jack® Stadium at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex, Lake Buena Vista, Florida

Second Round

Top two teams from A & B (March 12-16): Angel Stadium, Anaheim, California
Top two teams from C & D (March 12-15): Estadio Hiram Bithorn, San Juan, Puerto Rico

Semifinals and Final

Semifinals and Final (March 18-20): PETCO Park, San Diego, California

Of course, all of this is subject to change at the whim of Major League Baseball.

As for the rosters, the preliminary 60-man roster for each nation must be submitted by Jan. 17, (assuming the players consent to be drug tested under more rigorous standards). Each team's 30-man roster must be finalized 24 hours prior to the start of the tournament. It may be required that teams carry 13 pitchers. There may also be pitchcount restrictions imposed.

Here is to Dutch baseball played on hot Puerto Rican astroturf!

Hi,

It looks like tickets go on sale tomorrow for Puerto Rico and Monday for the rest of the games.

Anyone know what time the tickets will be on sale?

I am a UK baseball fan flying to Florida for the Pool D games and hoping to see some Spring Training games also while I'm there.

Cheers,

David

PR Tickets

It looks like tickets for PR will be sold in "strips" for all games. In other words, if you want to go to see only one game or a couple of games, you need to buy tickets for all of them.

"How to Purchase Tickets
Tickets will be sold in strips of tickets consisting of each game to be played at Hiram Bithorn Stadium. The strip will consist of 12 games which includes all 6 games in Round 1 and all 6 games in Round 2."

Anyone want to share a strip of 4 tickets? My interest is primarily second round. Is there anyone who is only interested in the first round? Dutch Girl or any other Dutch fans?

Welkom naar het bord, Nederlandse meisje.

Hi! We also want to see the second round even if the Netherlands will not proceed to the second round (which is most likely the case unfortunately!)...
Good luck!

Dank je wel!

Nederlands "meisje". What ever that means! I suppose: Go Netherlands!

[Cubano100%]

Welkom naar het bord, Nederlandse meisje. Let's rid baseball of the pestilence of the DH now and forever!

Yeah, sounds good! Haven't you notice that Roger Clements and Pedro Martinez are model citizen since joining the National League. They are not head hunters anymore. I wonder why.

Gotta call you on this one Cubano. Pedro Martinez got his head hunter "reputation" as a member of the Montreal Expos in the mid 1990s.

Yeah, But he had his encounters with Tampa Bay's Gerald Williams. Tampa Bay rocked him a couple of times and he decided to hit a few batters. They had a brawl. He also had his problems with the Yanks. Have you forgotten Don Zimmer?
