I believe it means “Saint Diego”
As though Sox fans don’t have enough trouble getting tickets to see their team, the Padres are now shutting us out too. As reported on this site, the Padres held a lottery for the chance to buy Opening Day and Red Sox tickets. Yes, you have to win the lottery to get tickets (Clearly I didn’t win, otherwise I wouldn’t be complaining) to see the Sox in California. Did we really need another lottery? Petco Park is huge and never sells out. I have my doubts that demand is so high that this is needed - we play in Phoenix on a weekend and they have plenty of tickets left - you wouldn’t even be stuck in the Upper Deck there!
But alas, I got this email this morning:
I think at this point, my advice is to book your plane tickets for Phoenix. A day trip to Vegas will be a lot more fun (and cleaner) than the inevitable day trip to Tiujana while you are in San Diego. Plus, the first game in Petco (Fri Jun 22) is 80’s night. So, be happy that you won’t have to celebrate how great Rick Springfield was back in ‘84 and let the “lucky” lotto winners suffer through the 80’s tribute concert after the game.
That being said, if you won tickets and don’t want them, I’m here to help out!
Stumble it!

Quick note: I felt a lot better when a nice envelope arrived today as well with some tickets to Fenway in it - if you ordered tix the day most went on sale, you should get them soon.

I like how they titled it, “Dear Padres Fan”……..even though I’ve never met an actual fan of the team and they just assumed that you were one. If you were an actual Padres fan, you’d go to any game you could, not just the Sox one and wouldn’t need a silly lottery.
I am also wondering why they are doing a lottery (and the fact they are charging 2-3 dollars more for the Sox games)….the place is huge. Maybe they plan to shut out Sox fans like the Charger fans tried to do with the Pats (and we all know how that worked out)?
