Ticket Reviews

RETURN to Tickets Page

Many thanks to those who dropped us such notes as you see below.

And while I tempt fate by saying this, we've never had a glitch with the system.

The thing is, Wayne, his son Randall, Mayumi, Margaret and I all do this Japanese baseball thing because we like it and so it comes natural to us to offer a bit of personal service, which seems to be ever more rare these days.

Here are a few of our reviews...enough to make even Mom blush.

Bob,

Everything went well, but I'll be honest with you, I was nervous about buying tickets overseas and then having them delivered to the hotel, but everything went well.

The tickets arrived on the day you said they would.

The Nagoya Dome is right next to a subway stop, so it was very easy to get there, and I had a great time all around.

Thank you very for helping get everything together.

Hi Bob,

Everything was fantastic!

The game was blowout for the Giants, but with three homers for the home team, the home crowd was into it.  We had a great view and the experience was so enjoyable.

The whole process of ordering tickets, having them delivered (with change back), and getting to the game all went so smoothly that it was a truly unique experience.

With the great communication that you had with me, I had no doubt that the tickets would be here when I arrived at my hotel.  I was not disappointed.

Bob,

Just wanted to let you know the tickets arrived, we got there and enjoyed the game.  We don’t claim to be baseball experts, and have only seen a handful of games in the US, but we had a great time.

The crowd chants and the balloons were really something.  And the price for the tickets was good too.

Imagine our surprise when we opened The Japan Times and saw that Wayne, the person you had get the tickets for us, was the baseball correspondent!

Hello Bob,

It was a BLAST!  Everything we expected and then some.  It was good to see the game at the beginning of our trip because it let our boys follow the Tigers, their newly adopted team, through the rest of our trip.

Thanks for such marvelous seats behind the plate.  We loved it.

Bob,

Back from Japan and wanted to thank you.

My wife and I had a wonderful time.  The game was fun, but the atmosphere at the game was amazing.  The cheering never ended and, what with the cheerleaders and beer girls, the action never ended.

Major League Baseball could take a few lessons from the Japanese on how to keep the crowd entertained.

Dear Bob,

Thank you and Wayne for the tickets.

My family and I had a great time.  As a former season ticket holder for the Cubs and now the Brewers, I'll tell you that my family and I have never had a better time at a game.  

The crowd was very friendly, and the food was great - it even beat Miller Park brats!

The play was outstanding. I've not seen players so fundamentally sound, even compared to Major Leaguers.  I learned a few things I can offer to my team of 12-year-olds that I coach on how to play the game with hustle and enthusiasm.

Hi Bob,

The tickets were waiting for us at the front desk (including change!) and we had no problem getting to the Dome next evening.

It was a beautiful time in Tokyo.  Nice weather and the peak of the cherry blossom bloom.

Thank you again for giving us a grand finale!

Good Day,

This was my third time in Japan, but my first baseball game.

I loved the enthusiasm of the crowd for both teams, though there is no way visiting fans could pull off such organized and loud cheering at Yankee Stadium.

The seats were at field level and gave us a great view of the action.

And some things are the same in Japan and North America: Beer is about $8 at baseball games!

Bob,

I had my apprehensions when I first emailed you and sent you the funds, essentially blind.

But after reading your bona fides at www.JapanBall.com and www.BavasiSports.com and taking a leap of faith, I found that the process and the results exceeded my expectations.

The tickets were delivered to our hotel as promised, with some change, and the seats were absolutely fabulous. The atmosphere at the game was exciting and entertaining.

Hi Bob,

We had a great time at the game and all the excitement that goes along with it.

We were particularly fascinated with the girls serving beer from kegs on their back!

We figured out the train to the ballpark with no problem.

Thanks again for your help.

Bob,

As you promised, the crowd was a big piece of the action.  The visiting Hiroshima cheering section was most impressive and entertaining.

The mechanics worked well.

The tickets were delivered to our hotel first thing on Thursday morning for our Friday game.  Wayne refunded a portion of our payment since they ended up being a little less costly than expected.  We had no problem finding the stadium.

A good and interesting time for us.  Your help made it quite easy.

Bob,

Just got home.  Everything went fine.

Tickets were waiting for us at the hotel when we arrived.  Great seats, great game and no problems at all.

Everyone thought it was one of the best parts of the whole trip.
