So I wanted to take Ben to a Dodgers game today -- the first I'd be going to since the 2019 playoffs.

However, things have changed.

People have money to burn, since the government has been hammering out checks to everyone, and at the same time, nobody could go anywhere to spend money on things.

The stadium is at very reduced capacity.

People are eager to go out and do things.

Sellers cannot split seats. So season ticket owners of 4 seats, often sold in pairs of 2 and 2, have to sell as 4.

All of this combined to cause huge demand for games like tonight (versus a shitty Seattle team) which otherwise would have drawn collective yawns on a Wednesday night during a regular year.

Specifically it is REALLY tough to get 2 seats, since there are far more people wanting 2 seats than selling 2 seats.

A few exist on Stubhub and other sellers, but the seats are shitty and they are way marked up. I'm not paying 2018 NLCS prices to see a Wednesday night game against the Mariners. Sorry, I ain't doing it.

So it might be awhile for me.
