Hello all:

First of all, I want to thank you all for expressing your interest in attending. I think this will be really fun and I am looking forward to it. I have spoken to Ron and we have flushed out the general details. Of course, more information is to come and please FM me with questions, but please read the thread before asking, your question may already be answered. I will bump regularly.

Date: Saturday, July 23rd, 2005

Place: Shea Stadium

Event: New York Mets vs. Los Angeles Dodgers

Game Time: 3 p.m. ET

Tailgate Event Time: 12:30 p.m. ET

Tailgate Location: Shea Stadium Parking Lot, Section TBD

Price Per Ticket: $25

Other Details

Unfortunately, Shea Stadium prohibits alcohol in the parking lot, so none will be provided and it is highly advised that you do not bring any. Sorry.

Food will include a hero and salads -- there will be veggie options for the non-meat eaters

Prizes will be awarded at the tailgate party. All attendees will have a shot.

The deadline for letting me know if you are attending, and how many will be in your party is Monday, March 28th. Shortly thereafter, Ron will post an electronic form for you to order your tickets via credit card online. I would ask that if you respond to this thread saying you are coming, please order your tickets when the form becomes available. As we go along here, I want to keep a semi-accurate headcount. I will keep the running list updated on this thread.

Once you order the tix online, you own them. No refunds.

Please let me know if you have any questions via this thread or via FM.

Thanks - I am looking forward to seeing those that I already know and meeting those that I have not.

Don, I wonder if this should be posted on some of the other boards as well, since there are lot of LIWers who stay on the wedding planning boards.

hey guess what!!!

FH's family moved the reunion to the 16th, because FH ALREADY has tix to the game on the 23rd!!!

(We buy tix to about 10-12 games from a season ticket holder)

So I will be there- just not w/ LIW.

Maybe we'll come visit you in the parking lot?!

Hey I don't mean to be a brat, but if DH and I are going to drive all the way to NY from VA, there's no way we're sitting in the upper deck. DH would kill me! He hates the drive as it is (and he's a Braves fan too ). So I was thinking that maybe we'd buy our own tickets in a lower section and then get together with you all in the parking lot. If we chipped in some money, could we be included in that?

OK, we talked and here's the deal on people coming to the tailgate but buying your own tix.

If you want, you can stop by and see us, but in order to be eligible for prizes and have the food being provided, you must buy a ticket to the game and sit with us.

In other words, to participate you need to participate!
