Its not just the $175, you have to pay the $175 for 81 games. Great marketing move Sox.

 

 

 

Wrong. And it's not $175, it's $170 and it includes parking and all you can eat and drink.

 

Complaining about the park not being filled... :rolly

 

How many games you been to so far..?? :huh

I plan on getting tickets to 1 game. I think it will be kick ass. I think the Sox will end up re-evaluating these seats and prices will have to drop or changes will need to be made. They can't have all those seats empty. Maybe they'll do some sort of packaging thing.

I will say this, I was a little dissappointed in the turnout for monday and tuesday. I thought more people would show up for the 'showdown'...oh well. Plus the weather was so awesome.

I agree they will drop in price next year. We're going in July and September.. I can't wait.

It just comes to down to what people want to do with their money and what they consider to be 'worth it', that's all. No right or wrong.

I will say this though, just because other seats to other events might be more costly, doesn't mean that these particular Sox tix are not over priced. Even if you showed me a $300.00 toaster, I'm still gonna think a $250.00 toaster is overpriced. :huh

the chance of rain definitely kept people away.

Does this include beer? If yes, does this include the beer from the "beers around the world" stand ?

I've been to one this season, but I have a 3 hr. drive to get to the Cell. I'd love to have the luxury to catch an evening game after work. If I want to catch a game I have to factor in 6 hours on the road. I just would think that it's better to fill those seats, even if you're not getting the premiem price for them. I took an economics class where they evaluated leaving the seats empty on an airplane vs. taking less money for the ticket. The organization comes out ahead when they receive something (even if it's less than desired) instead of the seat being left empty. The game will be played regardless (...or the flight will leave), they might as well improve the appearence of an increase in demand for catching a game live and receive some income instead of none. Plus it would give others a chance to live it up, even if they're not in the highest economic imcome bracket.

Yep. But I don't know how many different beers they have in the bar.. I would guess they don't have all those from the around the world stand upstairs.

Bla, bla,bla, bla, bla.

 

First.. welcome to the boards. Second.. 95% of the people that post here go to the games. You are preaching to the choir here in complaining about empty seats. It's not a well received argument.

I got Scout Seats in May.

I can't wait, too. I will make them rue the day they created:

 

All you can eat and drink!

 

MUhahahahahahahahaha :lol:

Yeah, I forgot about that stuff. People missed out on monday. The atmosphere was electric. I was in left...and the bathrooms got rowdy (verbally only), due to Flub Fans. And in another bathroom, a guy with a Torrii Hunter jersey got escorted out by Sox fans...not violently, but in a fun way.

 

I had a f***ing blast. We screamed all the way down the ramps and I lost my voice. It was great. Plus I drank too much and skipped work yesterday :P

Here's an idea: Say there's 60 Scout seats (Don't know if that's correct. Work with me here) and on a particular night they have 20 seats full. At the beginning of the game they should upgrade 40 people from "bad" seats to the scout seats as a promotional type thing. It does look bad on TV with the empty seats.

Maybe, but it might backfire on them. People who bought the seats probably wouldn't like it too much. It's kind of like, I heard a rumor, that some season ticket holders didn't like the idea of there being so many half price nights. :huh Can't make everyone happy.

I have to pay full price on half-price nights.

 

But , that's the price I pay being a season ticket holder.

I get other perks.

That's what I'm talking about. The management should do something to fill those seats. I does look bad on TV, especially when we're playing the Twins. In order to increase our fanbase (or even interest), it has to at least appear desirable to others.

 

Steff, thanks for the welcome.

The full priced ticket is a gurantee that you will be in that seat. Otherwise you don't know if you'll be buying a s***ty seat or a great seat. That's the difference with the premiem price tag.

Eye.. that is sooo funny you posted that.. Jim and I said the exact same thing last night. They do that in Milwaukee and it's a cool thing.

 

 

FWIU they are actively pursuing it. I'd bet something like this is in place very, very soon... :ph34r:
