Twins Season Tickets - Looking for Additional Partners for 2017

This season ticket group is entering its 17th season and we've lost a few people from 2016 and are looking to find some additional fans to join in.

Current Status (3/16/17): 42 Unsold Field Box Seats

You can get 2 or 4 tickets per game

Current buy-in is at a minimum of 12 tickets.
If you're getting tickets in a block of 4, that's just 3 games for the season.  2 seats at a time? 1 game per month.

See below for prices - you'll get the season ticket discount for all tickets that is below face value.  Note that the Twins have variable pricing for all games, we settle up later so that you pay the actual price for the game.

We pick games via a lottery system.  In each round, people get a chance to pick an open game.  The more tickets you have, the better chance you have of being picked earlier in the round.

In order to spread out the "pain" of early April or late September games, each member must take a game in either April or September.

Seat Locations:

Field Box

Normal price - $32 / Price range: $18-$46

Our price is $5 below face value

A 12-ticket buy in would be $384

Section 103, Row 6, Seats 21-24 (aisle)

Legends Club - SOLD OUT in 2017

Normal price - $58 / Price range: $31-$85

Our price is $10 below face value

Section G, Row 5, Seats 16-17 (aisle)

Sold out this year, but get into the group and you'll have a chance in future seasons to buy in.

Minnie & Paul's

While John and I checked out CATCH, we also got a view of Minnie & Paul's - a new center field gathering area open to all fans for each game.  It's right under the sign of Minnie & Paul.



The area also includes new food options in the park - a Pizza Luce stand and a full-fledged Red Cow Burger stand (around the corner from Pizza Luce on the left, where those people are walking)

Bars and Restaurants - After the game

The bars in Target Field stay open an hour after the game.  Although alcohol sales cut off in the park in the 8th inning, what they told me is that they still serve beer, etc. after that...it's just that you can't take it out of the bar after that time.  (As long as you don't mind still paying the $7 for a beer...it saves you fighting the crowd, but the better prices would be in the Warehouse District).

Until that time, you should be able to buy a beer and take it back to your seat.  And so far, it looks like Hrbek's may be the best location from the Diamond Box seats to find a Summit tap. (And no line)

Metropolitan Club

A reminder - holding a season ticket (any of our tickets) for a game gives you access that day to the Metropolitan Club.  This is different from the Legends Club...this is the large 2-level glass-enclosed area in the RF corner.

See the Twins website for more details.

Note - if you're looking to try out the buffet, you'll likely need reservations.  And you'll need the account number for the season ticket account to place them.  That number is printed on the tickets.  It looks like after the 4th inning, the menu becomes ala carte and I don't think you need a reservation for that? (may need to ask...it looks like the 2nd seating reservation is good for the remainder of the game).

For in-game dining, the 2nd seating, there are some seats that allow you to see the field (including some outside), but otherwise there are monitors for the other seats.

If you're not eating, you should be able to walk in and look around...and go to the bar for a drink.  I guess if it's completely full they may not allow that.  But on Sunday, Steve and I went up there and got in with no problem.

If you're just planning to go to the bar and there's a big line...don't walk away immediately - that could be the line of people waiting for their dinner reservations.  Walk up and see if they'll let you in.

Suggestion - due to the crowd choking point of people entering the stadium at the 2 gates coming from the Target Plaza area, if you're sitting in the 3B seats you might want to go up the escalators on the 3B side and work your way around that way.

What Happens on a Rainout?

If a game is rained out, what do you do with your tickets?  Couldn't really find any specific information until it actually happened...this is kind of what I assumed:

• There are no refunds or exchanges.  The ticket you hold will be good for the rescheduled game.  Only that game.
• If there's a doubleheader, the plans are for there to be 2 separate admissions - a "day/night" doubleheader.  Gone are the days when you get 2 games for the price of one (until they stop getting near sellouts for each game, I imagine).
• In a doubleheader situation, your ticket is for the added game, the people who had tickets to the originally scheduled time keep that original game.

If a game is completely cancelled and not rescheduled, then there are refunds, but it looks like it may just be a credit to the season ticket account...or maybe to my credit card.  We'll work that out if it happens.  I did hear some murmurs about working out a policy for refunds if you couldn't use the ticket on the rescheduled date...at this point I wouldn't count on that.

Here is the press release for the rainout of May 7 that describes this.  The Twins website is probably the best place to find this info, but it will also get out in the media once a postponement occurs.

And the general listing of the policy

Video: Tour of Target Field

I'm sure there's more of these on the way, but MPR put up a "Walking Tour of Target Field" on their news site - and it's fun to start seeing some real pictures rather than just artists' renditions.
