Green Line Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Wow. Jerry and Brooks are now sicking the ticket reps on fans who decide not to renew, questioning their loyalty. Not a good look for the worst organization in professional sports! 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoUEvenShift Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 And according to Dave the rest of the conversation was even worse. I told my ticket rep at the end of last year I moved out of state (which is true) and she left me alone but this is bonkers. Do the ticket reps rely on commission that much to make a living? If so I get it, but sadly I think this is something the front office pushes them to do... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Line Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 I've never heard of any professional sports team taking this approach to ticket renewals. Can they get any more shameful? This is abusive treatment of their fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I’m shocked they get so mad. White Sox tickets are gold. They recently had a promotion for tax day, $4.15 tickets. I received the email, hit the link to see what it was about, and was put in a waiting room for 50 seconds or so due to high demand. LMAO. How stupid do they think people are?

Spumoni Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I mean my old rep just called me repeatedly so I saved the number under “do not answer”. Understood the persistence as obviously it’s starting to hit the bottom line but it’s astonishing anyone actually experienced something like this. Embarrassing.

Texsox Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 While I wouldn't bet against it being legit, I never accept on face value that stuff is true. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnetennba Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Meh. Wouldn’t shock me if true. The sales staff probably takes the brunt of the fan displeasure and they are human too after all. Doesn’t make it right, but they are part of the exterior insulation for the dopes upstairs. We’ve all experienced the disdain the org shows for us, you can just add this to the pile.

JoshPR Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Meanwhile diehard and loyal fans have to take Jerry's bullshit. What's happening to this team is bad karma I swear. Until he get rid of this plague called the Reinsdorf group we will suck to eternity. Please people in Chicago don't buy merch, don't go to games. I know it will probably hurt but until the plague is exterminated this shall happen 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it will probably hurt but until the plague is exterminated this shall happen I splurged on opening day, but that's the last time I buy directly from Ticketmaster. Most of my friends are only buying off the resale market now. None of us want to give money directly to this team. And if last night was any indication, fans in general are pretty fed up. They'll still get good crowds on giveaway days, but beyond that the park is going to be a ghost town all summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have tickets yet, buy them on the secondarty market. If you buy them from the A;s the Sox will get a small cut of it. At least if you buy them from the secondary market, JR gets none of your money. I had freebies a couple of Sundays ago when they were in a delay for 2 hours only to play in worse weather than during the delay. We bought no concessions. JR has none of my money this year, and he isn't going to get any either, unless he makes some changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
