Yankees Tickets??? When do tickets go on sale for the New York Yankees 2008 season?

Can anyone tell me when the 2008 Yankee's schedule will be released and tickets will be available to purchase? My fiancé's dream has always been to take his father to Yankee Stadium. I know that next year is going to be the last season for the old stadium and his father's health is fading very quickly. I would like to give them both a trip to New York to include attending a Yankee's game early next season for Christmas. When does the season usually start? Do you know when they will start selling tickets for the 2008 season?

Does anyone know if major leauge baseball sells tickets to the public for the All Star game? I am looking to buy tickets for the 2008 MLB All-Star game in New York at Yankee Stadium. Dos anyone know if the major league baseball office releases tickets to the public to buy?

Visiting Yankees stadium for the first time? Hi there, It’s short notice, but I’m hoping that someone could help me out with a few answers to regarding my upcoming visit to New York. Even though I’m from Australia I’ve been a fan of the Yankees since I was a kid back in the mid 60’s, ever since I first sighted the Old Gary Cooper film ‘Pride of the Yankees’. Back in those days nobody but nobody followed American sports down under, and baseball games never showed up on TV with any regularity until the 80’s, and even then it was usually only the World series that got televised. One way or the other though I’ve always remained a fan of the team, mainly through the papers and magazines, until cable came along and made it much easier to watch games during the season. The advent of the internet also helped to keep up to date. I’ve been a fan now for 40 years, and my one big desire has always been to actually see the Yanks play on their hollowed turf in the Bronx. With the news that they were going to tear down the stadium after the 2008 season I thought my chance had finally gone of ever visiting the ‘house that Ruth built’. Well lo and behold my wife came to the rescue recently by presenting me with airline tickets to New York and a match day ticket for my 49th birthday, so I’m finally on my way! Can you believe it – this will not only be the first time I’ll actually get to see the Yankees play live – at their home stadium – it will actually be the very first MLB game I’ve ever attended. 40 years of being a long distance fan, and I’m finally going to be there! So there’s my history. Now I have some questions that need answering, and I’m hoping that someone can find the time to possibly help out. 1)How early does Yankee Stadium open on game day? I’m actually going to be in town for the Saturday game against the Royals, and would dearly like to find the time to see Monument Park before the game starts. It’s my understanding that it stays open to the public until 45 minutes before the game is due to start. Which way do I need to head once I’m in through the main entrance of the stadium to get to Monument Park? My ticket is in section M6, so I’m going to have to work up and right around the stadium to eventually get to my seat. 2)I’m going to be visiting Central Park during the morning on Saturday, and am aiming to get to the stadium from the Subway station on Lexington and 86th. Which platform do I need to go to, and is half an hour sufficient time to allow for the trip? 3)I’m leaving from La Guardia airport straight after the game. I’ve read a couple of different ways to get there from the stadium. One opinion states that the best way to get to the airport is to catch a train to Grand Central and then hop on the NY Airport Service bus to La Guardia. The other view states that the best way is to simply head a couple of stops away from the stadium to the subway station at Lexington/125th and take the M60 bus to the airport. Any views on the matter? 4)Given where I’m going to be sitting, is the net going to make it a pain to take photographs of the on field action? Like I said, I’ve never been to a game before, so I don’t know what to expect. 5)Some general tourist questions. I traveled through NY in 1981 when the city was probably at its worst safety wise – in winter by the way, which explains why I didn’t try and see the Yanks play back then. I know things have changed dramatically since then, but how much safer is it in reality? I’m planning on spending Friday morning at Battery Park, from where I’ll gradually work my way up Manhattan during the day to the Rockefeller Center and St. Patrick’s by 7 or 8 – the latter closes at 8.30. From there I plan on hopping on the subway and making my way over to my hotel in the Bronx – is the subway safe at that time of the evening? Any thoughts or answers to the questions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance
