[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s what happened:

(1) The Nats wanted to sell more NLCS games so they advertised the opportunity to buy World Series tickets if you bought NLCS tickets.

(2) People figured out that the cost to buy a half season plan (which came with guaranteed WS tickets for all 3 games) was close to the cost of buying tickets to one WS game on Stubhub.

(3) The Nats sold one zillion season plans thereby depleting their entire inventory of WS tickets.

(4) Realizing that they probably violated the consumer protection act with their promotion, they put probably a handful of seats into this NLCS presale. 
(5) 99% of people did not get tickets. [/quote]

I actually somewhat considered doing #2 on Wednesday based on the calculation you just noted. Decided against it, but there were really very few season ticket seats available, like less than a dozen in the stadium under the half season plans. And no seats together of 4, only 2 or 3 (which then wouldn’t allow me to choose only two). I assumed then that they would wait and try to sell as many of those seats as possible before even opening the NLCS presale.[/quote]

I heard this from someone else too (tried to purchase 2020 season tickets but not much available). Does anyone know what percentage of the seats the Nats organization allows to become season ticket seats vs. left open for single game tickets?  [/quote]

It's never become an issuer.  They woudl sell all season tickets if thef the market existed.  [/quote]

Yeah DC is not like somewhere like Chicago.  The waiting list to get season tickets for the cubs is something like 100k long. And you pretty much have to get single game tickets on the secondary market. I don’t think that will ever happen here, even if the Nats win the World Series. I could see a big bump next year, and you might have to like, buy tickets more than a day in advance, but then it will die back down. People who bought season tickets just for postseason access won’t all renew.[/quote]
