I was browsing Ebay today and on a whim searched for “Lehigh Valley IronPigs.”
What I saw had me laughing for a while so thought I would share.
The first thing that caught my eye was the “seller” who was listing their season tickets out for just about every game.
For the July 27th game against Norfolk the price listed is $310 for 6 tickets. That’s roughly $51 a ticket. I didn’t realize the Tide were such a draw. The listing is for 6 seats in section 107 that are pretty close to the field but $51? Really?
The same seller went on to list more games at various prices.
$140 for these seats for a game against Buffalo.
$280 for the Syracuse game.
$180 for another Syracuse game.
I guess the seller doesn’t think Bryce Harper will be playing for Syracuse this season.. the only reason I would think ticket prices could reach the demand these prices are calling for.
Laughable, but opportunistic at least.
Another posting shows a used ticket stub from a meaningless game in August 2008 for the low low cost of $12 (and $2 shipping). I think I’ve thrown away 4 years of gold! The ticket is missing the top portion and even has clear folds and dog eared corners. $12?
Yet another person is still trying to sell a “Jimmy Buffett” styled IronPig’s jersey that was part of a charity jersey auction a couple years ago. There are a few listings for this and I have to say I’ve seen it before. I question the authenticity of the jerseys as they are only asking $57 for them as I’ve seen them on Ebay since the Pigs came to town.
Side Note: IronPig’s Charities will occasionally post an auction for the authentic charity jerseys. The listing will state as such. I encourage you to participate in those auctions.
Not news. Not even that interesting. Just a good laugh to waste away the time until real baseball news comes around.
OinK!

Just a side note, I know I’ve talked about selling my seat, but I’m not the seller……LOL!! That’s Jimmy T’s take!! Be cool everybody!!
July 27 vs. Norfolk: Friday Night Fireworks, Umbrella Giveaway sponsored by The Morning Call, & Olympics Night.
A cap giveaway and Rich Thompson bobblehead night both fall on the nights of Bisons games and there are a few good promotions when Syracuse is in town but Bryce Harper would still be the biggest attraction. At the very least I’m hoping Bryce is here for the Syracuse games April 11-13.
Or, maybe the reason for the high prices vs. Norfolk is because it could mark the return of Dane Sardinha to Coca-Cola Park :)~
Well maybe you can cross that one off now that I’m hearing Dane Sardinha didn’t pass his physical and his minor league contract with the Orioles was not completed.
Wow. I wonder what my club level tickets are worth…
I wonder what would happen if there were a “ticket exchange.”
Oh, I’ve got a stack of parking slips, too. At least one in every color. Wonder how much I could get for them…. 😉
