2012 Postseason/2013 Fullseason invoice

[NYY_72]

So (from my previous post/question), does anyone have a view on what the total number of post-season games are (and should be) invoiced for pre-ALCS for a full season account?

I'm getting billed for 4 games, but with the invoices not providing a game by game breakdown this year, just trying to understand what that specifically covers. Unless I'm missing something (entirely possible), the only initial options are either hosting 3 ALDS or 2 ALDS plus a wildcard play-in game.

Being billed for 4 games, I'm guessing, also covers the possibility of a multi-team wildcard tie, and any associated round-robin possibilities to determine the final two wildcard teams. Otherwise, it's almost like being billed for printing all 4 possible game tickets - even though, short of the multi-team tie scenario, there can only be a maximum of 3 home games.

Hey NYY, the most information you'll find is on this page which lists all strip prices by location (non-premium only!), round, and plan type:

You can probably make a good estimate of your individual ticket pricing based on that. But your suites rep could tell you straight away over the phone

Right, that's exactly my point, from the info on the link you provided. Unless I'm somehow forgetting to carry a zero or something similar - I'm very explicitly getting charged for 4 tickets under the 2012 Wild Card Game and AL Division Series (three potential home games) heading on that pricing chart. Being invoiced that way across both groups of FS seats I have.

Unfortunately (my fault) been playing phone tag with my rep, but I figured there must be someone else floating around here who's facing a FS playoff invoice. So just wondering if others are also getting billed for 4 games for the first potential series, and if so - whether that seems weird to anyone.

It is weird, but it is possble. The most postseason games pre-ALCS that can be played is 4 (two wildcard single game eliminations and two ALDS best of 5)

Tiebreaker games are considered regular season and are billed to you card separately if necessary

Thanks, and yes - totally agreed on everything you said. And if there was some additional tie-breaker scenario before the up to 4 pre-ALCS games - they have 3 games worth of tie-breaker tickets within the full season ticket books. If any of those are used, think they are first billed against any playoff refunds, then from any account balance, and finally to your card if that's necessary.

So guess anyone else paying a full season strip invoice is also getting charged for 4 pre-ALCS games, and no one cares/notices? Kind of suprising, but whatever I suppose.

Wow. preliminary seat relocation event next week for STH only

sorry - realize the link doesn't have that detail. here is the guts of the email I recieved

Sound like "It is time to push the PANIC button" by the Yankees.

Panic. No. But people complained that the relo should be in September or October. So they obliged.

But what about all of the better seats that will open up after the payment deadline? Is it a choice between better weather or better selection?

[RatzoRizzo]

You'll get both, from what I hear...lots of people dropping full seasons since the 2ndary market has made even the Sox games affordable. Why pay $28 for an IFGS that you can get most games for $10-20 and the prime games between $30 and $50?

[specialedd2213]

I got in invite for the full season relocation but I only have a partial plan??

They are in panic mode which is why they WILL invite all partial - with hope that a couple partials will jump into a FULL season package.

Well, they better hurry and invite THIS partial before I jump into a StubHub package.

Call them and they would love to hear from you.


When you do call, ask for the new reps - they love nothing more than a new FULL season ticket holder request.

I have absolutely NO intention whatsoever to become a full season ticket holder. What I meant was if they want to retain me as a Partial I need to see something happen. If they don't care about me as a Partial then I don't care to stay one.

dont forget the discount vouchers also.

[NJRuss]

Don't forget folks, the Yankees are not the one's setting the prices for the playoff tickets.

MLB controls that along with a majority of the tickets once the Yankees give their season ticket holders their seats.

The charge for the one game playoff is very likely an MLB decision that they making plan holders off all potential playoff teams pay whether that particular team will need to play that game or not.

I know that they always say that postseason prices are controlled by MLB, but I question that. The Yanks have many different price points, just like the regular season. The phils have 2 price points per round for postseason even though they have many more different regular season prices (i.e., Phillies world series tickets are $150 and I think $225. That's it). If MLB controlled it, wouldn't there be more consistency?
