A co-worker, who's been a huge help to me on numerous occasions, is leaving for another job. She is also a massive Astros fan. I had the idea of gifting her 2 tickets for her and her husband to go to a game. I don't want to (1) spoil the gift by asking her what game they'd like to attend; and (2) I don't want to pick one out on my own in case there was another game she'd really like to see, or she's can't make the game I selected.

I was hunting around on the MLB and Astros sites, but couldn't find anything. They do sell "Astro's Gift Cards" but they seem to only be for concessions and merch at the stadium. I know StubHub gift cards exist, but that seems... less exciting somehow. Simply telling her "I will pay for 2 tickets in the future, just let me know how much to Venmo you down the line" seems odd and forces her to awkwardly ask me to pay her back.

Anyone have any suggestions?

There's a couple train crossings, most notably the one that runs across Bellaire near 610, where I periodically get stuck waiting. I've vaguely noted that one seems to come through mid afternoon, but I'm not sure if that's just coincidental timing on my part, and/or if that applies on a regular daily schedule.

I'm poking around to see if there's a posted schedule anywhere so I can start avoiding those routes during those times of day.
