I was in the nose bleeds for the 92 and 93 series games. The face value of the tickets were $30. That’s what I paid for them plus a handling fee. I still have the stubs or full ticket. Some I managed to fold so they weren’t ripped. I’m not even sure they print World Series tickets anymore. They certainly don’t for the regular season. It’s all done on your phone via an app these days.
I was able to go the 7th game of the 82 Cardinal’s defeat of Milwaukee Brewers. The stars sort of lined up. I was in the Navy at the time and had shore leave available. One of my dad’s friends wasn’t able to go to the game and gave the tickets to my dad. My senior chief didn’t blink an eye when I asked him for immediate time off to fly out to attend the game..
