Hello, marketing department!!!!

 

Instead of "5 wins" in June (since the Padres have 15 home games), it would be 4 wins in June, since 4 out of 12 games is the same 33% percentage of games played.

 

With the Padres offering $99 for as many games as it takes the Pads to get to 5 home wins (out of 15 in June), 12/15=80%, the White Sox could do the same for $74.44, $79.99 or $80 or however you want to price it to get to 4 home wins. Theoretically, you could go to 12 games for a price of basically about $6.67 per game (if it lasted through 12), not including parking.

 

Of course, if they reeled off 4 in a row to start, it's hard to imagine being "too upset" about spending even $20 per ticket because those were all Sox wins that you just attended, and $20 is still a very fair price for a big league game.

 

It's such a cool, simple idea...and would be fun for the fans like Greg who actually care about winning games more than the rebuild at this point.

sounds great but where do you sit? Upper tank?

I would think "5 Losses" would make more sense because otherwise you get to the point where fans aren't rooting for the team to win, because it means less games they get to go to.

Well, the beauty of it is that you can think of it either way, depending on your fan perspective...and excitement (HOPEFULLY) about starting to see some of the younger prospects (Burdi/Lopez, maybe Fulmer) start to matriculate at the major league level.

The White Sox have already done their all-May pass for $42.

This is way better than that promotion. 12 games for 42 bucks or 15 games (max,might be 5) for 100.
