Wealz Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Someone in the know on 35th told me yesterday that they have sold so many upper reserve season tix this past week that they might not offer upper reserve season tickets this winter. Also, I've heard from someone not on 35th that LD sections from 113 to 153 are now almost completely filled on season tickets. If all this is true, is it a safe bet that the season ticket base jumps from just over 10,000 to around 18,000, maybe more? What's that mean for the payroll?

Boyer on WMVP yesterday indicated the base didn't jump more than several thousand - find that hard to believe - I have been trying to find out about my order since Tuesday!!!!!!

Steff Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 It was at just over 11K this season.. the Sox didn't have 8K in WS tickets to give away, so 19K I doubt. Maybe back up to 15K. Baby steps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season ticket number will get a good bounce regardless of what happens in the next week and a half, and a much better jump if the White Sox can advertise themselves as something they haven't be able to say in oh about 88 years or so.

JUGGERNAUT Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I'd agree with the 18K figure .. if the White Sox win the World Series. We know for certain that the orders exceeded the supply of WS tickets. So 15K sounds reasonable. But then you have to add the WS win factor. In a city starving for a winning atmosphere I'd even go as far to say 20K is not unreasonable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reps said that there are no premium seats available anymore for seasons, which was different than last year. From what I know, they had at least to section 113 filled.

Jimbo's Drinker Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 From baseline to baseline is sold out every year. I would imagine that halfway down the line would be the beginning of next year's offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every season ticket we can sell next year is another step towards a 9 figure payroll, and more chances at becoming a perennial playoff team. I would be thrilled to death to hear that our season ticket base went over 15,000 let alone 18-20K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo's Drinker Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 if they have 15k, it has to be over guarenteed. 2nd game of next year, god who really cares at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opening day will be hard to get, and I think people are going to want to see this team. My guess on season ticket base is 18K if they lose the series, 22k if they win the series. Everyone wants to be associated with a winner. (Heck, in DC we had a first-year season ticket base of 24k) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Row 29 to 35 behind us were mostly TM and day of game upgrades. I would guess the further down the line, the more open seats. 3 friends bought mid season and got in 122 rows 24 and up. It's getting more full.. but it's definitely not sold out between the bases. Good sign regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
