Yankee tickets

This may not be the appropriate forum for this, but I need some advice from TwinsNation. I will be in NYC on June 8 and I was hoping to take in the Yankee/Pirates game that evening. Much to my chagrin, the tickets are already sold out. What should my next move be? Try to buy them on the street that evening? Go through ticket brokers? Ebay?

Help a brother out. Anybody have any experience with this type situation? I am looking for two moderately priced tickets in a section that allows for the consumption of beer.

If nothing else, this gets your mind off the punchless wonders for a minute or two.

just buy them on the street before the game

I went to the Twins-Yankees series last September and got pretty sweet upper deck seats right behind the plate for only $5 above face value ($30 instead of $25, I think). It should be pretty easy to do, just wander away from the actual stadium a little bit.

Santana VS Yankees

One of my last two nights in NYC, before I moved back to Minnesota, the Twins were in town and Santana was pitching. It was obviously sold out but I tried to do the grab-a-ticket-at-the-last-second kind of thing, and nobody was budging on their ballooned ticket prices.

It won't hurt to try and get something at the last minute, reasonably priced...it just didn't happen for me.

Every

Every Yankee's game is sold out fro the start, but not a lot of people always show up. I'd try brokers in advance and then go to street guys if you have too, but that probably makes it even more expensive...

Baseball is great because you cant take a knee or kill the clock. You gotta put the ball over the plate and give the other guy his damn shot E Weaver abridged

Yeah you could...

try to buy tickets off the street to watch the reigning Cy Young champion head into the biggest city in North America. You could head down to Columbus Circle after the game and buy a steak dinner for $200 more than you should ever pay for dead cow. You could proceed to do an eight ball of coke off a hooker's body too if you want.

Or you could play it smart and head up to the Bronx during the day and watch the freaking Pirates. Maybe catch the scalpers on a buyers market. Then pat yourself on the back, pretend you're Billy Beane and hit happy hour before 7 o'clock and maybe you'll find a pitcher of Brooklyn for under $10 someplace.

Best of luck, and go Bucs.
