bjmarte Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I received information in the mail today about the Sox Seven ticket plan. I usually only make it to a couple of games a year but I'm considering buying the plan this year. My question is this: if I buy all of my tickets in the Upper Deck Reserved area (cheapest price) will I be able to use the "Comiskey Upgrade" for seats in the lower deck (bleachers, Bullpen Sports Bar)? I know that sitting in seats more expensive than the ones you paid for is a time honored tradition but I think I heard somewhere that they were cracking down on this and not letting people with tickets in the UD into any of the the LD areas. That may have been only for certain games though, I don't remember exactly where I heard that. The only way I think I'd be able to swing getting the plan into the budget is if I could get all of my games at 14 dollars with a few half priced Mondays thrown in there. But I wouldn't want to be stuck in the UD necessarily. Any info/advice would be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 bj the only time i know if when your not allowed down below is during the sox scrubs games and the yanks games when the crowds are above normal levels........but thats the only times i know of.. of course the all star games will be like that too.. but other than that you can pretty much get any lower deck tickets day of game with trade of yours in the upper decks........the make due for those .. they would rather have the lower deck full for regular games first...........i dont see why that would change for this year.. as for the bar.. thats always been on a first come first serve.. if you wait outside of gate 2 and when it opens up you go right into the bar you can get a seat there....not a problem............

I've sat in the bar before but always when I had a LD ticket. The trick is I don't want to have to pay for the upgrade Does that make me a cheap ass? Definitely. But then look at the team I cheer for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPinStripes Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I always get the cheapest lower deck ticket and upgrade to behind home plate. this way if i get busted, i'm in the lower deck no matter what. but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 rps they let you down there cause your with me lol... hey by the way we have a new kid usher this year..........and were going to be losing john john at the stadium club elevator....were gonna have to break in a whole new crowd this year lol.........bj it doesnt make you cheap and if you sit in the bar you dont have to pay to upgrade.. you just have to pay to sit on the top deck.... its 10 bucks.... if you sit in the lower levels though you have to pay to upgrade from your ud tickets......

bjmarte Posted February 23, 2003 Author Share Posted February 23, 2003 Mmmm, that's an extra eight bucks a ticket for full price nights, almost a hundred dollars total if I get two tickets for each game. That's going to be much harder to get past the Mrs. I'll have to ponder how to make that happen. Maybe if I show her that picture HSC likes so much...

cwsox Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 bj, as hsc said, the bar is purely first come first serve so getting your upper deck tickets will work to get you into the park to get to the bullpen bar - have done that a number of times myself - knowing that I like sitting in the upper deck may influence the rest of my answer but I am too chickens*** to sit in any seats other than my own other than when I am with HSC or GUG but that's me - depending on the game you and your ability to not be as chickens*** as I am, you could sit anywhere - and the only times in 2002 that there was no access to the lower deck was opening day, the cubs series, and the Memorial Day Yankees game (and maybe the whole series, I wasn't there for that). I usually spend time on the concourse, a lot of times we eat downstairs and don't make our way up until close to game time. I can't imagine why they wouldn't let you you upgrade - they have windows for that and why would they object - no way to tell from your ticket what plan you got them under and you want to officially upgrade and give them a few more bucks for an upgraded seat why wouldn't they take your money? especially because they can then turn around and sell your original seat again - I did the sox 7 plan for a year and liked it so much that I moved into the split season plan so be forewarned!

Thats cool. So the sox let you pay for 14 buck seats but then move down to the expensive seats at no additional charge? Man, thats a really cool thing.

WhiteSoxPride3035 Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 When you're at the game, just go down and see if you can get better seats. If so, congratulations. If not, go back to your seat..... and try back in 10 minutes !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Easiest way to get down low, i do this every time after being upper deck reserved (after all i'm a cheap/poor college kid)...follow a nice little family into the lower deck, dad shows a ticket and the rest follow, then just sit a sit or two away from them for a while until they are done checking tickets...again, they usually ask for tickets, and when the dad shows that he sits there the usher assumes i'm part of the family and doesn't bother asking me.

bjmarte Posted February 24, 2003 Author Share Posted February 24, 2003 Have regular tickets gone on sale yet? Is it too late to get Cubs tickets with the seven game plan you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Have regular tickets gone on sale yet? Is it too late to get Cubs tickets with the seven game plan you think? Tickets go on sale the 8th. Call and ask a rep about the Cubs series. I don't know anything about the 7 game deal and am not sure if you pick them or what. Best bet to call.. and quickly :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should be "sainted" for hanging around those two . But they have been by my side on some of my worst nights. How I didn't get ejected the Friday night of the Sox/Cubs game in 2001 is still a surprise to me. That was my worst night at Comiskey I think.
