LosMediasBlancas Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Sorry if this has been brought up before, I'm still kinda new here. I heard a rumor that half price nights will be done away with for 2005. If it's true, how do you guys feel about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetman Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I think prices should be tripled. Season ticket holders obviously have no shortage of cash and the white sox need the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanOfCorn Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Speaking of which, what do the Sox get out of their Pepsi half-price Tuesdays? Does Pepsi pick up the difference? Or do the naming rights of that night cover the half-pricedness? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valponick Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 There was a rumor that season ticket holders were b****ing about tuesday half price nights. I think that rather than lose the attendance on those nights they will just make all tuesday home games half price in the season ticket package.

Chisoxfn Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I think it was pretty much announced that one of the half price nights would be going away, but not both, if I recall. I thought Boyer said that during a radio interview late last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Boyer said that during a radio interview late last year. Over the summer he spent about an hour and a half on ESPN 1000 with Carmen and Silvy taking phone calls. I remember someone calling in talking about doing away with the half-price nights because of all of the problems. Brooks said it was something they were going to look into. Get rid of them. Too much and goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't think so. I would think between concessions/memorabilia/beer the average person spends more than the cost of a half price ticket. I don't know though, my head hurts right now, don't feel like doing the math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I haven't gone to a half price night since all of the idiots jumped out on the field that night against KC. If they go away, I won't be upset. Too many morons came out of the woodwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I haven't gone to a half price night since all of the idiots jumped out on the field that night against KC. If they go away, I won't be upset. Too many morons came out of the woodwork. Half price nights do tend to draw out a lot of riff raff. I went to a game last May against Texas and there were 4 fights in the stands. Seemed like every time Texas scored a fight would break out. Some of those security people were kinda winded toward the end of the game & there was one brawl near the RF foul pole where a couple of drunks were landing some really good punches on each other and Kelly Wunsch, who was on the mound pitching, just stood there for a minute or so watching the action. It was hysterical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Bulls***, if that is the case then they will never draw fans... Not true...If we put a good team on the field...People come out in droves at full price... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scwible Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I truely hope they don't get rid of the half Price nights, i go to full price but like to attend the half price days simply because i can afford those so much more. I think i went to almost all the half price tuesdays. The first few were ridiculous with all the fights but they got a good handle on it after that. Them placing more security around did help and if anything started there were enough people to control it unlike the earlier times. Heres to more half price days for me.

CWSGuy406 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Bulls***, if that is the case then they will never draw fans... If that's the case, then the White Sox have some pretty crappy fans. I understand there are budget/money issues, but if the only reason you come out to a ballgame is because it's half-priced... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
