Comment by Scott B on January 25, 2015 at 1:02pm: One for me as well Craig!

Comment by Donna Lewis on January 25, 2015 at 8:25am: Second annual -- WooHoo!! Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Comment by Paul Nieuwland (30/37) on January 23, 2015 at 3:31pm: Sounds great Craig. One for me, thanks!

Comment by Craig (17) on January 23, 2015 at 3:27pm: Hey Everyone! Regarding tickets, we are looking to stay in the $30-39 dollar range and will be on the first level (Right-Field).

Comment by Gary Herman on January 23, 2015 at 1:33pm: I'm looking to go to Denver first on Thursday, August 20th then I plan to fly to Seattle Friday morning. I need to consult Scott Bultman so we can go together. I always rent a car on the road. If anyone needs a ride, let me know. I need to work on the flights. I have plenty of time to piece this together. I'm very much looking forward to seeing everybody. As for tickets, the cheaper the better. Unlike David Lasdon, that's not a priority for me. Put me behind home plate on any level & I'll be a happy camper.

Comment by Dave (20+5) on January 22, 2015 at 7:05pm: I was disappointed I couldn't make it last year...if I'm free, there is no way I'll miss #2.

Comment by Paul Nieuwland (30/37) on January 22, 2015 at 5:02pm: Yea, flights from Toronto, with Canadian taxes, are brutal. Plus, the US dollar is kicking our Canadian dollar butt these days. Haven't figured out the hotel yet, but I have seven months.

Comment by David Lasdon on January 22, 2015 at 4:28pm: Last year I spent $248 on round trip airfare and $111.28, including tax, to stay at the SeaTac Doubletree for one night. Even if I can get away with spending $360, I'm spending enough that I want to sit in a good seat. The stadium is the point of the trip. You don't save on the objective. You try to save on hotel, food, and transportation.

Comment by Paul Nieuwland (30/37) on January 22, 2015 at 3:50pm: David - I agree. I'm already at $900 in airfare, plus I'll be lucky to spend under $800 in hotels for my four day trip. Seattle hotels are brutally expensive, by the way. Double your estimate and you are getting warm.
