Comment by David Lasdon on January 22, 2015 at 1:53pm: I've written this in my posts before but I don't want tickets that are reasonably priced. It'll cost $200-$300 for airfare and $100-$150 per night for hotel. When you're spending all that, paying an extra $40 for a game ticket isn't that much of an expense. That said, I'd sit wherever the group decides to sit. The point is to hang with other Chasers.

Comment by Mike Ridgeway (7) on January 22, 2015 at 8:02am: I will be there. Hope I get to see the game this year! :)

Comment by Shawn Welsh (25)/26 on January 22, 2015 at 6:20am: I wish that I could, but I am busy that weekend. I am looking forward to making it to Seattle soon though.

Comment by Scott B on January 21, 2015 at 11:45pm: I'll be going to see the Mariners that Friday evening and Saturday and flying back on Sunday to see the Mets-Rockies.

Comment by Chuck Booth (35) ALL 30/23 DAYS! on January 21, 2015 at 9:23pm: For those that want tickets that are reasonably priced. I will possess some extra*s..probably 5 for the Friday night game and ten for the Saturday night game.. the Saturday night game (aug.22) is Robinson Cano bobblehead night. . I have lf lf bleacher tickets.(section 180) that night will be about $28 per ticket and Fridays or Sunday games only about $22 per ticket
.I have talked to somw of you already..hit me up - mlbreports@gmail.com if you wish to be included its going to be an epic weekend...

Comment by Marshall Barrett on January 21, 2015 at 5:09pm: Going to have to give this serious thought...Seattle is the last city I need for 30. My initial plans were to tie in an Alaska cruise...but that is looking less and less likely.

Comment by Paul Nieuwland (30/37) on January 21, 2015 at 4:12pm: If you are an American driving a rental into Canada, you should be fine. Just make sure your rental agreement is ok with the cross-border trip - most are. I did the opposite last year - rented in Vancouver and drove to Oregon and back. The US dollar is very strong against our Canadian dollar right now, so think of all of Canada as being on sale! COme for a visit!

Comment by David Lasdon on January 21, 2015 at 4:11pm: I'll have finished my 30 stadiums by then, so I'm likely free to come. Going to a Rainers game is intriguing, although that might mean staying over another night.

Comment by meg minard (30/44/205) on January 21, 2015 at 4:01pm: If I get a rental car in Seattle, do I have to do anything different if I plan on traveling to Canada?

Comment by Paul Nieuwland (30/37) on January 21, 2015 at 3:08pm: Craig - unlikely I'd bother getting a car, and my budget is a couple of hundred bucks a night. Happy to take the train to/from the ballpark. It's quite a good system in Downtown Seattle, from what I remember from a couple of years ago when we visited.
