Tickets for the first Twins games to be played at the new Target Field -- albeit exhibitions -- were on sale Tuesday morning for the briefest of times.

The Twins get their first real competition in their new home when they host the St. Louis Cardinals on April 2 (5:10 p.m.) and April 3 (1:10 p.m.).

Tickets were sold online only, starting at 10 a.m. Within less than 20 minutes, prospective online customers were being told that no more tickets were available for either game.

As of 3:45 p.m. Tuesday, tickets were posted on StubHub at prices ranging from $47 to $1,118.

The first regular-season game is scheduled for April 12 against the Boston Red Sox.
