I have read a few instances of that $59 web site where they split up the tickets..so the husband and wife are sitting in different sections of the park. Hardly ideal and not what one would expect when paying big bucks for the service. (and it is big bucks...anyone in Japan can buy tickets to baseball games from a convenience store machine for a mark up of 105 yen per ticket (using Lawson's as an example). Even with my very, very poor Japanese language skills I manged to figure out how to use a Loppi machine to buy tickets. Of course the courier adds some cost, but really they are playing on the fact more casual visitors won't want to figure out how to buy tickets in person or on line.

Luckily, the Giant's have their English website to buy tickets with no mark up (Ticketmaster, are you listening?).
