I guess perhaps I am showing how long it has been since I have been down there....but are The Flats dead for game watching or what? It used to be one of the hoppingest party areas in the nation. Has the Warehouse district taken over? Or is that too upscale. I rarely go out to bars to watch these games anyway. I am either home or at a friend's house. That is sort of the deal when you get to be mid-50ish.

hi folks -- i ended up with three extra tickets for the season opener. i wont be in the cleveland area till the weekend of the game, so i put them on ebay. auction ends tomorrow. currently they are at $80 a ticket. right now the cheapest tickets in this section are $140 on stubhub after all those fees and taxes. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...2#ht_500wt_1182 let me know if you have any questions

We have a Ticket forum here as well ... there were many opportunities to purchase season tickets at face value earlier in the off-season, even a $10 raffle ticket for an opportunity to win a pair of season tickets. You could have purchased/won those season tickets and been the beneficary of the 2x-3x profit making going on ebay & stubhub. But to answer your question, as you wished; wait until next week and see if they come down, depending on the quantity you are looking for, you might even want to go down to the game and pick one up from a scalper there. Wait until the game starts, and you might get one for free or below face. use the ticket forum though, that is what it is for, and then the next time you need a ticket to a specific game, maybe there willbe more traffic there and more turnover. Glad we could provide a forum for your needs.
