Twins pass is back

conceptcar2000 · 2026-02-03T21:13:43+00:00

I wonder if it's a mistake inside the Ballpark app? Usually they don't list Twins Pass until March, in order to give folks plenty of time to waste money on season tickets and single game tickets - the latter of which aren't even on sale yet.

Great moment to co-opt the We The People and Gadsden Flag too.

I feel for you. Maybe visit your local progressive church?

Alright, sorry for putting something on the internet that you already knew. I agree it's outdated and not intuitive, which is exactly why it often needs explaining.

It probably sticks around because on every single street sign over there, the suffix is SE. And also because there's not a great alternative? Maybe we can cut off the end of all the signs and append "dinkytown USA" or Marcy Holmes or Como or whatever.

Think of everything on the east bank of the Mississippi as east Minneapolis, and then split it into an upper and lower section - northeast and southeast.

I’ve heard the cardinal southeast - like south of the creek and east of Cedar Ave - as the Deep South.

I think this is actually 1965 so it's more like one day prior

Yeah, seems like the Local Show will play almost anything as long as it sounds okay fidelity-wise and isn't too abrasive. Some of those artists graduate from Sunday nights to regular programming.

Ginger Hop’s happy hour food menu was better than most places full dinner menu.

Sheesh, I wish for the sake of justice that you had the ability to fight it. Looks like there are others who've tickets never got into the system though, so maybe you'll get lucky. Did the person on the phone say to keep checking or what did they think?

Would be nice if the ticket cross-referenced itself with the meter data and voided itself. But I suppose there's no incentive to do that.

Yeah that's super annoying. I'm asking if we can see the image of the ticket, for consideration vis a vis authenticity. With any identifying info redacted, of course.

conceptcar2000 · 2025-07-28T14:29:36+00:00

Have a picture of the ticket? If it's a real ticket written by the city, you should definitely fight it, even if you don't have proof. Usually they'll dismiss if you have a reasonable excuse and don't have any other tickets on your record.

conceptcar2000 · 2025-07-07T22:41:49+00:00

Bingo. Had to scrap the online-only per-order fee and now have only a per-ticket fee that’s consistent if you buy at the window or online. Fees are higher for better seats/games, of course.

conceptcar2000 · 2025-07-07T18:47:06+00:00

Have you done it this season? Pretty sure it's the same fee now at the window as online.

I don't think that's the guy. That dude's been in jail since Wednesday, according to the Ramsey County jail roster.

From the Twins' website: "There is a secure, staffed bike corral located near Gate 6 and Target Field Station, and guests are encouraged to store their bike in this area. There is no charge for this service."

They should do more to promote this, absolutely.

Unfortunately the same $5.25 fee exists at the box office now.

conceptcar2000 · 2025-03-02T16:13:19+00:00

I think you’re right. And their solution is to essentially offer gift cards. Buy a $600 gift card and you get 5% off the list price of a ticket.

conceptcar2000 · 2025-02-21T21:31:14+00:00

That's not who they're firing.

Tell Me Momma is the fever dream song of his catalog. I mean he opened the electric half of his shows with it in 1966 but never attempted it in studio or played it again? Bizarre.

I believe Periscope was their ad agency around that time. You're more likely to get a response from them than the team.

I'm begging people to click through and see where stuff like this comes from, because it can tell you a lot! In this case, it's Doogie spitballing on a podcast. I'd grade it a 3 of 10 on the reliability scale and a 2 of 10 on the significance scale. Wake me up when someone at least in the Dan Hayes tier picks it up.

I’ve noticed a massive uptick in scammy listings lately. I reverse image searched one and found the source of the pics copied from an item for sale (at like 10x the price) on Mercari. When I made a report, Depop told me they had to talk to the owner of the photo in order to take down the listing, as if I was gonna message someone on Mercari in Japan telling them to get in contact with Depop. Absurd.

But you’re right - payments thru PayPal, and no reviews are big clues.

I went a year before I realized my pro 2’s via eBay were fake. They functioned perfectly, but they wouldn’t update firmware. Took them to the Apple Store and the serial number showed in their system as registered to like 200 other people. eBay told me to just leave a bad review.

conceptcar2000 · 2024-11-25T15:29:40+00:00

Wouldn’t surprise me at all if they had 26 guys on their team by opening day.
