For those who had questions about the tickets... I get alerts when
brownpapertickets.com adds a new event, and every alert has been for
an event in the SLC area, so for that reason I'm guessing that BPT is
a local outlet and wouldn't be used for Nationals in St. Louis -
though they might be used for World Cup 1 in SLC. My contact at the
Oval said they were hoping to switch to an in-house system for
tickets for last year's WC, but they didn't get it working in time so
they went back to BPT for that event - maybe they'll have it up and
running this time around. It's way early for them to be going on
sale, but I'll check on it soon and let y'all know when I hear
anything!
