While I would have preferred the Phillies to end the World Series last night, I did get some benefit out of it. I’m a partial season ticket holder, and bought my playoff tickets season ticket holders get the opportunity of getting. You get whatever games they give you, and my game was game 3.

Turns out I had a prior commitment on October 25th, the night of game 3. Not being able to afford StubHub tickets, I resigned myself to not missing out on a World Series, something I had never attended.

When the game was announced that it was going to be resumed, I immediately hustled down to Citizens Bank Park. I found 4 people who were coming up from Atlanta and had to fly back down tonight. They weren’t going to be able to make the final 3.5 innings tomorrow (or Wednesday), and I got tickets on the cheap.

Sure, it’s not the full game, but it’s the most important part. Tomorrow (or whenever), the Phillies will have the opportunity of closing out Philadelphia’s first championship in 25 years at home. And if that happens, I’ll be there for the final pitch. And I got it for below face value.

I just hope it isn’t Wednesday, as I have tickets to Sixers opening night against the Raptors.
