Finding cheap baseball tickets can feel like hunting for buried treasure sometimes. I wanted to catch the Pirates vs Rockies game this month without emptying my wallet. Here’s exactly how I did it, step by step.
The Starting Point
First thing I did was just type “Pirates Rockies tickets” into my phone browser. The instant shocker? Those search results showed prices that’d make your eyes pop out – we’re talking $75+ for nosebleed seats. Nope. Not happening.
Getting Clever
I dug into settings on a few major ticket sites to toggle stuff like:
- Absolute cheapest seats possible
- No fancy upgrades or “convenience” junk fees
- Filtering for weekday games (way cheaper!)
Started checking seat maps constantly – noticed upper deck behind home plate had wild price drops if you hit midday on Tuesday.
The Waiting Game
Waited three days refreshing like a maniac. Saw third-base line seats suddenly drop from $60 to $28 at 11AM on a Wednesday. Snatched those faster than a stolen base! Total for two tickets? $61 with tax included. Felt like robbing the ticket scalpers blind.
Final Wisdom
Biggest lesson? Weekday day games are the golden ticket. Avoid weekends unless you enjoy burning cash. Keep your tabs open and refresh before lunchtime – that’s when desperate sellers slash prices. And never ever pay those BS “processing fees” – filter them out immediately.
Now I’m just counting days til game time. Got my Pirates cap ready and paid less than dinner for two. Mission accomplished.
