Unless if you are planning on Giants home game on a major holiday or championship games (which is end of the season in October) I will not spend $59 fee for somebody else to get a ticket.
It was $59 to get an unlimited amount of tickets (and we're looking at 4 or 5 games). But I've already procured the Giants game online and will not use the service.

The next game I'm looking at is Tigers v Giants in Osaka and tickets go on sale Tuesday morning. I will not use the service for this either....

However, if I were to have used the service for 5 games for two people the service fee would represent $6 per ticket which is not awful considering it would include delivery to the hotel and require aboslutely no work on our part.

BTW: The remainder of the games we'll pick up at the stadium that day.

Much thanks to gnaget for the link to the Giants' online purchase page.
