FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

I was partially doing it to see how it worked, $50 wasn't much.
and it booked up into R. Now it did NOT have an upgrade for purchase on the 2nd flight but I am on the list, so there is some trigger point for it offering, There are 3 seats and I am low on priority, I won't get an upgrade but the back of the bus got cleared out and I will look to have an entire row :)

So the $50 was only for the one segment? Very interesting. Was it at OLCI or at a kiosk?

BTW, when buying tix on stubhub make sure you check to see if they are wheelchair seats or not. Whoopsie. A quick call to the box office suggests that we'll be fine, but we won't make that mistake again.

I actually tend to enjoy the wheelchair seats more. As with everything in my life, I'm looking for more legroom and those seats have it. Of course, I never buy those tickets before the day of show/event because I don't want to take a disabled seat away from someone who is actually disabled.

Why does it seem that every sale or promo nowadays has a "Friends and Family" slogan wrapped around it :rolleyes:.

There is also the part where they say you are "subject to eviction from the stadium" if the seat is needed. That was what freaked us out upon getting the seats. Apparently there is a way to swap them out at the stadium and they don't really think it will be a problem, but it was annoying.

Back in February sbm12 did a little photo project that he called The many faces of photography . I thought this was a great idea and tried it out myself on my recent trips to London and Honolulu. Here are my Photos of People Taking Photos .

The new stadium is nice. Probably too nice, but the grime will return soon enough, I'm sure. Wheelchair seats turned out to not be a problem, so that's good. Beer is expensive, which is bad but not surprising.

BTW OLCI is what I did, the flight is tomorrow. I did it exactly on the minute to 24 hours out.

So about 12 minutes out of a 24 hour day they can put up the weather for random cities in the borders of the 16:9.

We're getting 27 more HD channels here on April 27. ^

On Long Beach Island tonight, I won by 11 strokes and shot 1 under for the mini-18. We redeemed a free game coupon from last year when I sunk a putt into one of those Plinko-like pegboards that spun a wheel which landed in the right place, and tonight we earned another free game as a result of my patience...we were stuck behind a sixsome of Kettles that did not comprehend dirty looks and tapping feet. It's just like on the real golf course: let faster players go thru. Apparently this group had never heard of that...but in retrospect, I can't complain. Another free round. The Mike and Sarah Summer Mini-Golf Series stands at Mike 1, Sarah 0, one tie. The next tour stop is TBD.

I would play big money to see PGA tour guys play on a random putt-putt course with clowns, windmills, etc.

Can you imagine Tiger with a neon green putter and a pink golf ball trying to get it into the clown's mouth?

How much? Doesn't surprise me too. They have to pay for that $1.5 billion stadium somehow. Plus, it is NYC where a lot of things are pretty expensive (compared to places I've lived and visited here in the US).
