UPDATE II: Los Angeles Regional Baseball Ticket Information

Or do you have to drive over to the Central Ticket Office? I only ask because when the Bruins played the Trojans at Dodger Stadium, they required you to drive over to the CTO, and would not let you buy tickets over the phone.

For all of you who have to set the alarm to get up by 10:00 on a weekday, I’m sorry but I can’t feel your pain. When you have a job, an 8 year old and/or a puppy, and sleeping in is waking up at 6:30 a.m.., you will understand why my response is not very sympathetic….

Most recent release

Beginning Tuesday, fans may only purchase All-Session Reserved ($80 adult, $55 student) or All-Session General Admission packages ($55 adult, $50 student). The student prices apply to all grade school, high school and college students.

But whether it’s $40 or $50, not having single-day tickets is a bummer, especially since the weekend we’re playing is the weekend right before Finals Week. Though, per LA Bruin, students (and alums) have it even worse at other schools. Oregon State’s charging $100 for adult reserved seats and won’t even allow students to get reserved seats?? (Unless the students there pay the full $100.)

was that they sold the reserrved tickets in advance as a block, but if there were seats available you could buy general admission tickets day of game.

I would think that this year’s regional should be an easier ticket compared to 2010 because no one travels for baseball like LSU who was in the UCLA regional last year, although there may be a fair turnout from Fresno State this year. I would not expect very many fans from USF

In addition, once other schools start getting eliminated their fans who have all session tickets should have individual tickets that they are willing to unload. (Hopefully, that won’t be the UCLA fans that are unloading the tickets).

Ryan-do you know if they are going to add the bleachers down the right field line again like they did last year?

According to the woman at the CTO she said that individual reserved tickets were not on sale today, but you could buy individual game general admission tickets through the CTO.

just bought 2 reserved passes through the CTO phone line (with a rep). i originally called to find out more info about individual game tickets. the rep told me that there will NOT be tickets set aside for individual game ticket purchase. that if purchases of passes take up all the capacity, there will be no individual game tickets available. i have to say though that the rep didn’t seem to be 100% confident of this information. he recommended that i buy passes which i ended up doing. the first call i attempted, i pressed 1 to “purchase tickets”. this transferred me to TicketMaster whose automated system offered to sell me tickets to the “UCI Regional” (which doesn’t even exist). my second call i did not push any options so that i would be sure to get a rep. i had to wait on hold for 25 minutes before i got a live rep.

Why would UCLA not put single tixs up for sale? I don’t even see myself buying package if all I want to see is UCLA in action. Frustrated with CTO over this.

Looks like the Fullerton Regional is again getting tv this year. ESPN left us in the dust for the 2nd straight year (besides the Super Regional).

Just checked the online site for ticket purchase’s. Tried a qty of 6 reserved all session’s and even thats still available. Guessing packages are not selling like firecrackers this year. Then again, its not like LSU is in town either lol.

I agree with you Ryan. I think the grads and over 30 crowd are going to wait until Friday for indiv tixs (online/walk up). You’re not going to see your typical UCLA student go out and spend $65 on an all session ticket since all they want to see is the Bruins play. This regional didn’t have the glitz like last year with LSU in town (big name draw). Sure we have the typical UCI fan base but not sure Fresno St/USF will have a lot of fans making the trek (except the die hard’s) unlike say LSU. I can see how UCLA wanted to offer the all-session to maximize revenue and the sorts. I just think it’s better to offer a package for say a super-regional round and just a bad idea for a regional weekend. I see this being a crowd of 1k-1100 each day since the stadium capacity w/out bleachers are 1250.

Welp looks like I am going to take the gamble and wait till Friday morning for single game tixs. UCLA just updated their tix information.

1) No one really expected them to host the regional before Saturday
2) Monday was a holiday which meant they really did not have a lot of time to prepare
3) This is only the second baseball regional UCLA has hosted in the last quarter century
4) If they are like most other governmental entities they probably are operating with less staff since the recession hit home.

However, that notwithstanding, it would be nice if they put out a little more information to the public and the information was more reliable.

Hopefully there should still be individual tickets on sale for those who can’t afford to buy the packages. I seem to recall that there were day of game GA tickets available last year. UCI brought some but not too many fans last year. I can’t imagine USF will have a large contingent there. The big unknown variable is how many fans from Fresno will vacate the central valley for LA. Ryan-Do you have a sense of how the Fresno fans travel for regionals?

 I was at the first weekend of the 2008 CWS when they won and there were some but not an overwhelming amount of FSU fans. Of course it was a little hard to distiguish the Fresno fans from the Georgia fans in 2008 since they both wore red and both had bulldogs for mascots.

Welp all the reserve tixs were wiped out over night, guess I was wrong :/.
