Straight doubleheader on May 26. Anyone with tickets to today's game can exchange their tickets for any tickets of equal or lesser value, they are not automatically valid for the doubleheader on May 26.

Sox are on to people like me. I was going to buy tickets on StubHub for real good seats knowing this game was going to be postponed and made up when it was warm and sunny out. I was hoping to get some Scout Seats for like $100-125 or maybe just seats right behind the dugout for like $15-20. Good thing I didn't. I'm sure the Sox would have worked with me to get another games Scout Seats however. Not a bad idea for tomorrows game either .............

flavum Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Tigers should have packed up their stuff and flown home last night. Get ready for the August 25 doubleheader announcement. I guess they'll wait 24 more hours for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a division team. Do a day/night in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hibbard Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I have the ballpark pass for April. Am I just gonna be screwed out of this game? Or can I just go to one of the DH games May 26? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 At least they called it early, which is good. And you know the way this work right? The Cubs will have perfect weather when they open at home next week. That's the way things roll. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksnort Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Looking like the game might be playable tomorrow...may be uncomfortable for everyone involved, but it definitely looks like it could be playable. Weather.com saying precipitation at 40% for the morning and lightening throughout the day. Cold and windy, but playable. Weekend looks like beautiful weather for baseball. Hope to see a nice crowd there on Friday night vs the Twinkies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Yesterday was actually really nice, especially when the sun was out. It's a shame the rest of the week has been so bad weather wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they play tomorrow, it's Shields vs Boyd. I'm thinking it'll get called, and the Twins series will be Shields, Holland, and Gonzalez. Opening Day Tuesday in Cleveland will be Quintana, followed by Covey and Shields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Hibbard Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 So I followed up with the White Sox, and for ballpark season pass holders they are giving me $3.54 per ticket back for today's cancellation with no future ticket. I think that's bulls***, because I bought these tickets with the expectation that the value of the purchase would be in getting 11 games, and now I'm getting 10 games (maybe 9 with tomorrow's snow-out???). The entire marketing of this "value" was in buying a package deal for games, not refunds of dollar amounts in the event games are canceled. It wouldn't kill them to give me a f***ing upper reserved ticket to some A's game in July that 10k people are in attendance for. Pretty frustrated with this and it sours me for purchasing this "value" in the future. They would make a lot of money on concessions if I was there in the summer at some random game, but now they lose out. Good job White Sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hibbard Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 This is the response I sent John, Thanks for the response. Speaking frankly, this is a bit frustrating. This package was marketed to fans as a value deal of a group of games. I realize things happen with April weather, but I believe it's disingenuous for the White Sox to walk back on the good faith value of 11 games for a refunded portion of a miniscule amount of money and 10 remaining games (maybe 9 now if tomorrow's weather is bad as well). The true value of this campaign is to get butts in seats in a down year, in my opinion, and I believe the White Sox always make a lot of money on concessions per fan, more than the value of the ticket that will go unsold. I would say that refunding $3.54 does nothing for the White Sox or me, but even a free upper reserved ticket in July gets me to a game, gets me to buy hot dogs, candy, beer and whatever else - and gets me to cheer on the squad. We both know this is a rebuilding year for this team, and that there are going to be dog games in July and August against not-popular teams where the organization will struggle at the gate - why give me $3.54 for each of two tickets back when the team could make $50 in concessions for giving ballpark passers the opportunity to exchange for an upper reserved ticket to a handful of organization-picked games?
