Buying Season Tickets...HELP! (Success!)

[Jorge18]

New guy here, big Marlins fan since their inception.

I have the option of two sections: 309 Row C, or 310 Row D.

Which would you choose and why?

[Party]

310 is a half section with two aisles in/out. 309 is a full section with two aisles. Based on the renderings you'll have half as many people in one aisle compared to 309. If you are on the aisle you have less people to worry about. 310 is also right next to the press box and suites.

I'd go with 310 but the differences won't be that large.

You're right, I think 310 might be a better choice seeing as it's smaller. They, unfortunately, don't have any aisles seats anymore :rlymad

The website for the new ballpark has a cool feature where you can see the view from seats in different sections around the ballpark. The difference between the two is somewhat negligible with 310 having a bit of a better view due to it more towards the plate.

Yea, I've been using that to check out the different views, but just wanted some other people opinions on it.

Thanks!

If you sit in 310 make sure to stay away from those rails. The view on the website has homeplate partially obstructed.
--------------------
For $15 a game those are tremendous seats.

I was just about to post that, it looks like where I would be sitting it would be partially blocked.

Does anyone where the seat numbers start from? I.E from 309 inwards, or from the press box outward?

I would call the sales center in Little Havana. Sections are numbered left to right so I'm guessing seats are the same.

I will. I've already called my sales guy about 10 times so I feel bad lol I was hoping somebody on here would know.

Do you have season tickets?

I have a 15 game plan at JRS. Waiting for the partial plans to come out for the new ballpark. Probably will sit on the 3B near the Taste of Miami.

I spoke with Samson, and he told me the partial plans will be available in Sept/Oct. Although I've heard the prices will go up slightly.

[Party]

That is to be expected. I'm worried there won't be any good seats left in the lower bowl and the 15 game plan is retired.

[Bobbob1313]

I want to get a partial plan in the outfield. Probably should expect to pay something like 400 for a 20 game pack, or so?

[Party]

$400 is a good number. Likely to be closer to $300.

Im in Sec 310 Row G Seats 20-17; 20 is the aisle seat furthest from 309. Those seats are literally right next to the visiting GMs suite who will have a balcony seat as well. For future reference when the sections are increasing in number, as in going from 309 to 310, seat 1 in 310 will be the closest seat to section 309.

I got those seats last July. They didnt have row 1 available in sec 310 so I went with the last row in the bottom section, so no one is behind me, also seats 20 and 19 have no one in front of them. At $15 a seat I couldnt pass it up. Plus the view of the outfield skyline is going to be awesome.

310 is probably the best section available, but I'm just worried about that damn railing that's in the rendering.

Depends on the row you are trying to get. In my row the railing should not impact my view but lower in the section it might.

Here is a pic of sec 310 I took from down below and you can def see the railing.

Yea, it looks like it's going to be 309 for me then.

How are you guys getting these tours of the ballpark?

[Fish Tank Frenzy]

Someone posted on here that the Marlins were offering tours of the ball park and I called my tkt rep and told him I needed to get in on a tour.

That's awesome. I'm going to ask my rep and see what he says.

[Jorge18]

So, I'm officially a Marlins season ticket holder!! Can't f'ing wait till opening day. I ended up getting Section 309 Row E Seats 3 and 4.

The tickets seem to be flying off the shelves.

[dgriot]

Congrats, Jorge

[Jorge18]

Congrats, Jorge

Thanks! I just couldn't resist at the price point.

Does anyone know if they do any special events or anything for the season ticket holders?

[Fish Tank Frenzy]

As of right now they do not have anything concrete for the season ticket holders but my sales rep said that something is in the works. Congrats, Ill see you there next season!

[Party]

Congrats on the season tickets. 2012 will be a fun time to be at the ballpark on a nightly basis.

[kylekash]

Looking forward to the see what the partial plans will look like. I'd love to do a full season but no way I would be able to make it to that many games with work being in boca. Hopefull they have some of weekend deali-o

[tr305]

What do you guys think of "Baseline Reserved C" seems like they have seats midway up in section 6. I don't see how this isn't the best option there is right now at $20 a pop. Thoughts ?

[Fish Tank Frenzy]

That's a great seat for that price. Especially lower level down the line. Hope you get them!

[tr305]

Seems like all the low row's in the vista box level down the lines are gone, i.e 310, 309, etc.. behind the plate vista box low doesn't seem that attractive because it's much higher up. This board is very helpful, nice work...

[Fish Tank Frenzy]

Yeah, I am in Section 310 in the lower section of the Vista Box @ $15 a seat I couldnt pass it up!

[tr305]

Any advantage to dealing with the sales office directly ? I mean the new feature lets you see exactly what seat you are getting before you click submit.

[Fish Tank Frenzy]

I'm in a sales and I like the relationship aspect of having a "sales guy". If I have a question or need a certain accommodation I can call him and get an answer. I prefer to give the commission to the sales guys as opposed to no one getting credit.

[tr305]

gotcha. still trying to figure out if that section is best bang for the buck right now. aw, decisions decisions...
