DIRECTLY Behind Home Plate

Listing Name:: DIRECTLY Behind Home Plate
Season Plan:: Full Season (2024)
(80 total games)
Seats Per Game:: 2
Price Level:: Home Field Box
Section / Row / Seat:: 150 / 23 / 9
150 / 23 / 10
Games Available:: 40
Price Per Ticket:: $75.00
Payment Method:: Venmo
Delivery Method:: My Cardinals Tickets
Offer Minimum:: 10 games

Section 150, Row 23, Seats 9/10. Our 2 seats actually split the stadium's centerline...so you are looking at the field DIRECTLY behind home plate. Seat 9 is slightly on 1st base side of home plate, seat 10 is slightly on 3rd base side.

Row 23 is also the very first full row of seats beneath the luxury box overhang, so no sunburn for day games, and no worries about rain. Seats are padded and in the very center of the row. It's hard to imagine any other seats in the stadium that have all these benefits, so we don't want to give them up. But our company is small, so we can't go to many games. Hence our listing.

We are looking for serious PARTNERS who want amazing seats for 10, 20, or 40 of the season's games. Your per ticket cost will be exactly what we pay...no more. (Although this service does charge a service fee which I believe tops out at $40.) No upcharge nonsense for the more popular opponents. Everything we do will be about the most FAIR and EQUITABLE way to split the tickets. All partners earn the right to post-season games based upon seniority and share size (e.g., if you buy 1/4 of the regular season [20 games], you earn the right to 1/4 of the post-season games. Fair is fair.) If you want to sell the tickets to some of your games, you get the proceeds. I will show you a copy of our season ticket invoice so you KNOW exactly how much we paid. That's what PARTNERS means to us.

A 25% deposit is suggested upon agreement of terms, with the rest payable when tickets are delivered. Payment method (PayPal, Venmo, Cash, or Check) is flexible. Delivery method will be electronic via the "Ticket Forwarding" feature of My Cardinals Tickets. We suggest an in-person draft over beers where everyone identifies what days of the week and opponents they want most. If there are no objections, that's what you get. If 2 or more partners have the same preference, we can split 'em fairly, do a sequential draft, or whatever everyone agrees is best.

So if you are a serious buyer and want to get amazing seats and work with an honest partner who simply can't go to all 81 home games -- and hates the extra fees charged by StubHub and SeatGeek -- contact me.

How will my games get determined?

For this listing, you would offer to purchase a certain number of games and tickets from the Season Ticket Holder. The actual games and tickets you would get would be determined at a later date using the the following method:

In Person Draft
New partner will participate in an In Person Draft. Draft will be held at a time and date agreeable to the majority of partners. If a partner cannot attend a date, efforts shall be made to ensure partners picks are fairly selected (for example, ability to call in selection, or the option to send another person to make picks). Draft picks will be based on the number of games each partner is purchasing. Draft Order will be set fairly giving all partners a pick in the first round and the remaining picks will be fairly determined based on the proportion of games owned by each partner. The Draft Order shall NOT unfairly benefit or harm any partner(s). All games and tickets shall be included in the draft.

So I am a little confused on how many tickets are still available. I see that there are 30 games available 10 game min. but you read the post and it says split 1/4 or 1/2 season. Can you please clarify. Thanks in Advance and yes you do have some great seats...Thanks Adam

No problem. When the listing was composed, we were shooting for partners with a minimum of 20 games, hence 1/4 or 1/2 season references. But shortly after we posted the listing, we got multiple requests for just a 10-game minimum...so we changed to accepting 10 games. However, any edits to the body of the listing takes a long time for the Cardinals staff to review, during which the listing is not eligible to be online. So we haven't gone back to edit the main listing because of this. The crux of it is that we changed midstream to accommodate requests from potential partners, and we haven't updated the main listing yet to reflect the new policy of 10-game minimum buy-ins because doing so takes the listing offline for a week or more.

Are these green seats that are all inclusive?

on Jan 15 2023 @ 5:14 PM
No. The all-inclusive green seats are called Cardinals Club seats, and they are much more expensive. Our seats are in Row 23, so they are simply Home Box Seats. No food or drinks are included with these seats.

Hey there. I Love everything about your seats and your offer, but I’m only interested in ten games max. Let me know if you reconsider and open this up for less games. Thanks! Andy

on Jan 13 2023 @ 2:4 AM
Andy: Well, as it happens, I had another person also request only 10 games, so I think I can accommodate you. Previously I only ever did quarter shares, but in this case I think a 10 game minimum will work. I'm not sure if that revision to my listing will take a while, but I'm about to make it now...so watch for it! - Chris

I might be interested in joining your group for 1/4 of the season. How many partners are currently in the group? It sounds like you have the partnership set up very fair not to benefit any one particular person. I assume rights to post season include but playoffs and World Series? Please advise. Thanks, Tim

on Jan 17 2018 @ 7:14 PM
There are currently 2 Partners; we are seeking 2 more 1/4 season Partners or 1 additional 1/2 season Partner. Yes, rights to postseason games include all of them, including Wild Card play-in game, Division Series, League Championship Series, and World Series. Post-season games would be divided up based upon shares (a 1/2 season Partner would get access to twice as many postseason games as a 1/4 season Partner), availability, and most recent playoff access. So if Partner #1 went to Division Series Game 1, the other Partners would all have first shot at the next available playoff games before it came back to Partner #1 again. Yes, we are certainly striving to make it as fair for everyone as possible.

I am interested in at least the 20 and maybe more depending. I have split season tickets for the last 3 years w/a partner in Section 157 but, he has moved & selling his seats. Before that I split tickets in Section 156 for 3 years until they sold theirs. So I am a serious buyer. My only concern is in both situations I was able to choose my games. I am interested in certain promotional days. Another concern is I travel frequently. Do you think we can work around both those issues?

Hi, Verna. Unfortunately, allowing any one of the partners to have preferential selection of games is not fair to the other partners. As stated in the listing, when we get together to split up the season, each partner can clearly state their *preferred* games, and if those games are not also desired by the other partners, then those preferred games can be allocated to the partner who requested them. Otherwise, games will be divided up evenly among each partner either through consensus or use of a rotating draft. That prevents any one partner from monopolizing the more premium games (Cubs, Royals, Dodgers, etc.) and leaving only the lower value games (Padres, Marlins, etc.) for the rest.

I saw your listing and love where your seats are, but our grandson plays high school and American Legion Baseball, and we go to all of his games. If there is a time you would have way less than 60 games I would to purchase from you, unfortunately we couldn't attend that many! It's hard to find anyone to sell only 5-10 games or less! But, these will sell quickly I'm sure!

on Dec 14 2017 @ 3:33 PM
Hi, Mary. The minimum purchase for our listing is 20 games, or 1/4 of the home season. "60" was simply the total that we are looking to sell. We've already added 1 partner for 1/4 of the season, so that leaves 40 games, which we hope to sell to 2 other 1/4 season partners (or 1 ambitious 1/2 season partner).

Season Ticket Holder on Dec 14 2017 @ 8:47 PM
I just read through your description and can understand completely why you're looking for purchasers who can commit to at least a 1/4 season. Unfortunately, due to work and family commitments I can't get there but I love the location of your seats. If you ever get to the point of needing to sell 2 seats to a random game or even 2 seats for 3 to 6 games please get in touch. Thanks and good luck!

Understood, Bob. If anything changes, I'll update my listing and make individual games available. Also, just as an FYI (for any listing readers or potential partners), Season Ticket Holders don't receive our tickets in the mail until (typically) mid-February or so. So for any ticket delivery options such as "Meet In Person", that would be the earliest possible date to actually hand over the tickets. If buyers want to use the "My Cardinals Tickets" electronic ticketing system, however, I think those transfers can be performed as early as January (once we make our annual payment for the tickets).
