UPDATE 2008-07-08: if you’ve already got tickets to this game but you didn’t buy them through the below link, please be sure to email me your name and ticket count if you didn’t already. We probably won’t be checking names, but we do need to make sure we have enough chairs set up for everyone, so we need as accurate a head count as we can get. If you purchased your tickets through the link below, no need to email me.
You can generally find our upcoming event info on our handy-dandy Events page, but we’ve got some ’splaining to do on this one.
Please join us at Petco Park on Friday, July 11, for the 7:05pm Padres vs. Braves game. Prior to the game, we’ll be meeting up in the auditorium at Petco with Prospectus Today author Joe Sheehan and Paul DePodesta, Padres Special Assistant for Baseball Operations. Gates open at 5:05pm, and DePodesta will begin speaking by about 6:00pm. We anticipate a Q&A segment, so come prepared with some good questions!
To get to the auditorium, enter Petco Park at the Park Blvd. Gate, located at the corner of 10th Avenue and Park Blvd. Use the escalator or stairs to your left to access the Main Concourse. Once at the top of the escalator please look for the sign that will direct you to the auditorium.
To be admitted to the auditorium, you’ll need to purchase a game ticket by visiting www.padres.com/promo and using the promo code HITS. On July 11, bring your ID to the auditorium and you’ll be given a pass to get in for each ticket you purchased (so if you purchase three tickets, you get three passes). You must purchase a ticket this way to be admitted to the auditoriumUpdate: if you already have a ticket for the game, email me your name and we’ll work on getting you access. If you don’t yet have a ticket, please buy one through the above link so we can show the Padres these events will sell a lot of tickets. These tickets are standard Upper Infield Reserved, there’s no markup for this event, and we’ll all be sitting together during the game. You’ll also get a sweet beach towel at the gate.
If there’s anything I’ve forgotten, please email me through the contact form and I’ll update this post as appropriate. We’ve really enjoyed these events with the Padres in the past and we’re looking forward to seeing you all at this one!
