I just wanted to talk about sitting in the ultra club patio

TLDR: UCP = SRO

I don't know where to start.

I am upset about the experience I had at the game. it was 4/13, dollar dog night. It's taken me a while to collect my thoughts on this. I've tried to make this more a review than a angry rant that it would be if I wrote it right after the game.

I think my issue I didn't know what I was getting into. I wanted to sit in the new seats, the ones alverez hit his home run that they painted the seat. They made a big deal of this the end of 2019 season on the TV cast. So I bought a ticket for the UCL Row 1 seat 28, the front far right corner.

So I was excited, but what I got was not what I expected. For one the ticket I got was not the one I bought, the app gave me row 2 seat 8. the difference is huge, it is in foul territory, the seat I bought was I thought in fair territory. I felt like I got scammed.

On top of this this area is standing room only, it's like standing on the stairs in center field where there is a level platform at chest height to set your food, but no seats. Except it's in the nose bleeds. Someone mentioned they planned to put stools out there, sounds like a good idea, but wasn't there for the game I was at.

I don't know what to say, but I'd just advise anyone buying tickets there to consider them standing room only. I think the idea originally was that it was going to be SRO with access to a special area, but that makes no sense… who checks tickets in the 3rd deck section. and the stairs to the 3rd deck have the same platforms to hold your food/drink.

I guess I knew I didn't know what I was getting when I got those "seats". but hopefully anyone here will now know what they are.

I have screenshots of my email, tickets on the app, and pictures from both seats and the area in general I wanted to add and might come back and do so…

Also there was a warning about it being a communal seating area…. but I took that as covid type warning. I spent an hour googling that before I bought the ticket. 2 years ago, when this was planned, I would kinda assume something like this. Today the description feels off.

I guess I just think the astros need more description of what this area is, other than where alverez hit a home run.
