Baseball DIY

They made it quick and painful. About ten minutes ago, I learned that there were no longer tickets available for Opening Day. Hey, at least I got out of the Waiting Room and can now "go about my business," in the parlance of the day. It took an hour for the Standing Room Only tickets to vacate the premises. Other tickets to Opening Day had been available through various season ticket or partial-season ticket plans, but I thought they'd last a little longer than this (and I was even willing to pay the extra $8 bucks for this "premium" game, though I am kind of relieved that I did not have the ability to let the Cardinals gouge me like that).

The last game at Busch, of course, is sold out as well. How much is it worth monetarily to go to one or both of these games that are special for purely sentimental reasons?
