Banana Ball

Buy the ticket, take the ride.” ~ Hunter S. Thompson

Getting tickets to see The Firefighters vs Savannah Bananas at Coors Field was a lot more complicated than I think buying tickets should be. Last fall I happened to see an ad about entering the Banana Ball ticket lottery. So I did, because I thought maybe it would be fun to go to a game, but I didn’t have a lot of investment in it. If I got picked I got picked and if not, oh well. And seven months later I got picked. But, turns out getting picked isn’t actually getting to buy tickets. It’s maybe getting the opportunity to buy tickets depending on the time slot you are randomly placed in. I ended up with a mid day time slot – 12:30pm. I had no idea if that was a good time or not, but it seemed like maybe it was.

It’s amazing how each hoop I jumped through had me more and more invested in getting these tickets. Today was ticket buying day and success. I did the hard thing. The sorta hard thing. Well, probably a not really hard thing. I guess I did a thing.
