You will be able to start putting in road game ticket requests tomorrow online thru your account. Thanks,Paul LeistnerSales ExecutiveSo, good luck all.

It's working the same as parking. You have a 10 day window to request away game tickets. Beginning on July 29th we'll put all requests in priority point rank and fill requests based on that. Any requests after the 28th go to the back of the line, no matter what their priority point rank.2) Tiebreakers - The questions was raised what if a bunch of people are tied? Very rare occurrence and shouldn't be an issue. If it is, we'll go based on longevity.3) We are limiting tickets to 4 for games we expect a lot of interest. This is to ensure we are able to provide the opportunity for as many of our donors and season ticket holders as possible to attend these games.Hope this helps a little.Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of just your 8 people, they can get two different groups of 4, so more season ticketholders can get tickets. It sucks for your scenario, but you can't blame Athletics for trying to get as many different season ticket holders a chance for away tickets.

However, you can go on line and create an account by following the ticket links. You should be able to request at that point in time but you'll probably be lower in the rank order.If you are a current season ticket holder and didn't get the email, I recommend calling you account rep directly or call 1-800-GoBulls to find out if we have the correct email address for you. They can assist at that time.EricEric, What do those of us who did not receive an email do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
