Ready for Opening Day

ticket01
The Houston Astros single game tickets went on sale last Friday at 9 am.  We got there a touch late, around 9:15 am, not that there was a huge crowd.  I had the option of getting Opening Day tickets the day before with a presale code, but the $1 child tickets weren't an option and the fees were almost as much as the tickets themselves.  We got a triple bonus by showing up to Minute Maid Park: there were doughnuts out for the fans, Finley got a Larry Dierker bobblehead and we got four free tickets to the College Classic in March.  Texas A&M and the University of Houston will both be playing, so it should be a fun event to go to, especially since the tickets are free.  Finley chose a pink doughnut to eat and ate it upside down, as she seems to do with a lot of food...pizza, biscuit with jelly, etc...it is always the messy side down.  When we got up to the window to get our tickets, the gentleman told us to go to window 9 after we had got our tickets, then window 14 to pick up our free tickets to the College Classic.  I was puzzled as to why we needed to go to window 9, but we headed over there.  Turns out, it has a big pass through box and he sent out a bobblehead just for Finley.  What a lucky day!
