02/21/2008, HOUSTON -- Baseball enthusiasts of all ages are invited to join the Houston Astros Ticket Services Department as they host the annual Select-A-Seat Day at Minute Maid Park this Saturday (February 23) from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Admission is free.

At Select-A-Seat Day, fans will be able to "try-out" seat locations for full-season and mini-season ticket packages for the 2008 season.

"The Select-A-Seat event is a great way for fans to sit in the seats and pick the location that will give them the best view of the 2008 Houston Astros," said Bill Goren, Astros director of ticket sales. "The 2008 season should be great for Astros fans because of many standout returning players combined with a number of exciting new additions to the team. We have sold a high volume of season ticket packages already, but there are still a number of good seating options available that will be on display this Saturday."
