I’m planning on taking my kids to the A’s - Yankees game at 1PM on August 25th. I’m trying to get decent seats in the $60 - $80 range (on Stubhub). Since I’m looking for exactly 3 seats together, the supply is somewhat limited. I’m wondering what is the optimal amount of time to wait to place the order. I figure 9 days is too much since many people decide to skip a game much closer to the game date. Any advice would be appreciated (and I won’t hold it against you if it doesn’t work out).

Thanks

Should this thread be in IMHO? Sorry, shameless bump.
