Thoughts On The 2009 Angels Select-A-Seat

We arrived at 10:00 for a 10:15 appointment. This year, they're allowing people to acquire up to eight seats (extending their existing holdings) on a temporary basis, which probably reflects the good market for Angels tickets these days, as well as the bad economy.
Most of the seats we saw were at field level near the third base line inside the foul poles, and in the terrace level outfield. There wasn't much anywhere else; I expect if there were any seats between the lines, they were snapped up much earlier. Given the paucity of choice, we elected to keep our seats this year.
Taking a cue from the McCourts, the Angels will be carving a new set of seats out of foul territory, though much smaller in scope. To sell them, there's going to be new set of mini-game-plans, which the staff gave us information on that did not include price.
