Weird experience with staff at the diamond today

I’ve gone to maybe eight games at Dell Diamond this year. When I’ve gone on promo nights I show up early if it’s something I’m interested in. Well, tonight was the Seager World Series Ring replica giveaway so I showed up at four. Two hours before the gates open at six. The line was already long as hell so I hopped in. I went to the game by myself so I popped my earphones in and started listening to a podcast. This old dude in line behind me started talking to me, so I put up my earphones and we started chatting. Two hours of conversation with old boy later, the line starts moving. When we get close enough to a trash can (in front of the Intel club) that I ask old dude if he’ll hold my spot while I throw away an empty water bottle, and he obliges. When we get to the gate (I go through with old dude because we’re buddies now) a staff member rushes up to me and grabs me and says I cut the line, she saw me, and I need to leave. I tell her she’s mistaken and the old man I’m now buddies with steps in to say I’ve been in line with him for two hours. The staff member and gate worker meet this with groans and telling me I’m lying. Luckily, the family that was in front of us jumped in and said, “no, he’s been in line the whole time,” and I was let into the game.

The only things I can think is that she saw me as I was getting back into line after throwing away the water bottle (that I bought from a vendor while in line) and assumed the worst.

tldr: staff assumed I jumped line to get in, the friends I made in line stood up for me

I still love me some baseball

edit: and I got me a ring

Peanut friendly?

Can anyone tell me how peanut friendly the games are for someone with a peanut allergy? Are there any peanut free areas??

Which promotion is more cost effective for the 999 challenge?

I know that the Express has $1 dollar hot dog nights on Wednesday and $3 12oz cans on Thursday, but which one is more cost effective to do the 9 beers and 9 hot dogs over 9 innings?

Giving Away Tickets for Saturday 04.27

I screwed up and bought four tickets that I don't need for this coming Saturday.
I don't care to resell them, they weren't too costly.

Section 125, Seats 1 & 2 in both Rows 1 & 2
(it's a block of four, convenient way to keep the friends close)

PM me and we'll figure out the weird forwarding system.

First game!

Hi! We’re planning to take our 4 year old son to his first game soon. Where is the best place in the stadium to sit for young kids? I noticed there is a lawn section. That may be nice if it gives the kids a little space to move around. I also noticed there are rocking chairs at the top of the lawn. Even better if the parents could sit there and have the kiddos right in front of us on the lawn. Anyone know if that would work logistically?? Would we all still be together with some rocker seats and some lawn tickets? Hard to tell just based on the seat map. Thanks in advance!

Kids Club Discounts for sunday Home Games

On the official Round Rock Express kids club website (https://www.milb.com/round-rock/fans/kids-club) one benefit is listed as "Discount ticket offer to Sunday home games".

I would like to attend today's home game on Sunday, June 4, 2023. Does anyone know how to get the discount ticket offer? I can't seem to find anything about it when trying to purchase tickets online.

How can I find out if a game is rained out?

I have tickets for tonight’s game, but if you hadn’t noticed it’s not exactly…baseball weather. Is there a rainout line to call to find out if the game is officially canceled?

Excited to Join the Express Fandom!!

Hi Express fans,

My four-year-old son has been expressing a strong interest in baseball lately, so I am going to start taking him to games every 1-2 weeks just as an activity we can enjoy together. We're going to our first game tonight and honestly I'm beyond excited to see live sports after 1.5 years of not seeing any live games due to COVID. I have a few questions for any fans that have gone to live games in the past, and I'd appreciate any information you can share!

  1. Are there any difference in price between buying online and buying at the gate before the game starts?

  2. Are there any seating areas I should avoid (due to sun exposure or far away from bathrooms/concessions)?

  3. Tonight is "kid's night" and there's a train in the parking lot before the game. Are there other activities on kids night that they don't market online?

  4. What's your favorite food at Dell Diamond? Anything I definitely need to try?

  5. Does Dell Diamond allow foldable wagons? I see on their website that they allow strollers... I'm wondering if a collapsable wagon from Dicks counts as a stroller.

Cheers! And go Express!

601 days later, it's Game day!!!

I am so excited that baseball is back at the Diamond. I am slightly less excited that it's the Rangers and not the Astros for the next 10 years, but it's moot.

We love going to the games, and we live on a tight budget. A few tips and tricks that I've picked up along the way:

  • parking stops charging 1 hour after the first pitch. Save $10 and go at 8pm, especially if you have kids that won't last the whole night and you want to see fireworks. It's usually 4th inning or so.

  • Monday night $1 hot dogs, Thursday night $5 beers. Both are good deals.

  • eat dinner before you arrive. Hat Creek used to have $2 beers on Thursdays and is fun (but busy). Salt lick is as great as a second location can be. We eat at home, bring pocket change for snacks.

  • kids bring a water bottle. This isn't exactly "by the rules" but I have my small kids bring in a reusable water bottle. They get all gross and sweaty and this keeps them hydrated. The gate keepers are usually ok with the kids having one.

  • Buy tickets in advance. We look for free tickets everywhere (only games we can attend), but otherwise, we show up to the ticket counter a day or two before and grab lawn seats.

Can I buy tix to a bunch of games in advance at the ticket office?

Baseball is my fav, and the kids have to come with me whether they like it or not (jk, they usually like it). I've considered buying a Flex plan the past few years, but am always working to keep a tight budget. Flex Plans come out to $14/game. I can buy Lawn seats for $9 at the box office and not pay online fees. Ideally, I would like to walk up to the box office and purchase a few games at a time, especially in the summer when we can make a couple of games a week. Does anyone know if this can be done? Can I go up to the box office on Monday and say, purchase tickets for Thurs/Fri/Sat night in advance?

Retirement goals is to be one of the regulars with a season pass. One day...
