There are some tickets still available in various price ranges, including $10 seats, for the D-backs season-opener at Chase Field when they host the Colorado Rockies at 12:40 p.m. Everyone attending Monday's game will receive an Opening Day T-shirt, courtesy of Gila River Casinos. As an aside, did you know that the Diamondbacks average ticket price of $14.31 for the 2009 season is the lowest among the 30 Major League Baseball teams for the third consecutive season? Tickets are more than $12 below the MLB average ticket price of $26.74 in 2009. Thanks, Dbacks!

New for 2009: All-You-Can-Eat Seats. Down the left-field line on the Insight Diamond Level there are 675 seats designated as All-You-Can-Eat Seats. You get a game ticket and unlimited ballpark food (hot dogs, popcorn, peanuts, Frito Lay or Corazonas chips, Pepsi soft drinks and Aquafina bottled water) from the time gates open until the end of the seventh inning. These tickets cost $30 or $35 each, depending on the game. That sounds like a great deal to me.

Here's how you get tickets, and here's the season schedule. Don't forget that this season you can use METRO light rail to get to the games!

I'll be at the game on Monday. If you see me there, please say hi!
