Why The Montforts Will Get Boo’d Again

October 22nd, 2007 · 5 Comments · 154 views

So it’s 12.30 pm and the site to buy tickets for the World Series is still running but giving the same message - all our servers are busy, please wait and the site will reload.

But here’s the rub of the situation in Denver…very few Coloradoans got through. The Denver Post is reporting that since the Rockies decided to sell the tickets via internet, Red Sox fans from all over the country got tickets, a very few minority of the IP addresses were from Colorado.

There was a simple solution for Colorado to keep their home-field advantage - sell tickets at the window, allow folks to camp out for them, don’t sell them on the internet where the average fan has virtually NO CHANCE at getting tickets.

THIS JUST IN: MLB is in the first year of a 5 year partnership with StubHub tickets…think that had anything to do with selling tickets online?

Go Rocks, anyway. The Red Sox are just the Yankees with different uni’s. Can’t wait to see Dice K with a bat in his hands.

UPDATE: Rockies just had a press conference, the servers crashed and most of the tickets have not been sold. So instead of selling them at the ticket window…they are going to try again.

Good night…they’ve just shut it down and there will be NO TICKET sales at Coors Field.

    Don’t give up! Keep trying. The Red Sox are not the Yankees

    Hope I did that code right. :-)

    I’ll allow the plug for the BoSox because I like you, Len. But don’t think for a minute that I won’t gloat like all get out when we sweep the Sox.

    A little Blog wager…if the Sox win, you can write a guest post on any subject you want.

    If the Rockies win…I don’t know…where purple for a week. think of something creative…

    If the bet is the Rockies Sweep, I’ll bet ANYTHING you want.

    But if it’s win just win the WS , I’ll do the guest blogger where you can pontificate about the wonders or the Rockies if they should slay the Red Sox.
