Heads22 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Gentlemen: Just a ticket sales update on our Core of the Core Night on Sep. 8… As of this morning we have sold 88 tix for the outing. Not bad, but not what we had hoped for considering the amount of website chatter. Take this opportunity to remind your folks that this offer expires next Friday (8/19). After next Friday, we can no longer guarantee any subsequent orders will be seated w/ the group in Sec. 105. We’re looking forward to having you all out on Sep. 8. As always, contact me w/ any questions and Go Go Sox! Thanks, Kurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 I can also say that few of the orders have been from Soxtalk. Are there still people waiting to decide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I started thinking about getting a ticket, but with my altenator taking a dump, no way I can spare the cash. If freaking figures - I had maintanence done less than a week ago and trouble. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 According to Hal, sales have picked up, but still lagging behind what they expected when they saw the board interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think the date failed to work out for many of us that wanted to attend. Maybe an earlier outing could be arranged next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe an earlier outing could be arranged next year. Price may have been a factor too. A company-sponsored patio party I'm going to is 20 bucks, less than half of this one. I think they coulda done a little better than just 10 bucks off the original price, which is what I think it states on the order form...

I couldn't eat and drink for that much at the park usually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 How about not having the event on a week night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I told you all it was going to be a weeknight, as it was obvious with our record and increases in attendance. The weekends and Mondays are going to be filled, obviously the team is trying to fill Tuesday-Thursday. This should have been no surprise.

I would love to go, problem is I'm going to be at college already, it would be hard for me to get up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the food and beer you get at these patio parties, it's a great deal, not to mention you get a nice lower deck seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornLabrum Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Here's a suggestion that I sent to Kurt late yesterday: One major problem with the date is that schools (high schools and colleges) are in session in September. Most colleges are out by mid-May, so my proposal is that we make this an annual event, and we shoot for the last half of May as the date we do it. A couple of things to consider: 1) Rates are higher for patio parties from June 1-August 31. 2) Weekdays are generally cheaper than weekends (depending on whom we're playing). Anyway, that's a thought to keep in mind until group tickets go on sale next year. Right now I'd just be happy if we can get a guest for Friday's WCSF luncheon before Monday so we don't have to cancel.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I'm also going to email Brooks later on with a few ideas I have in regards to this. But I can't speak for WSI, but I do know that the big thing that hurts a ton of people here is the fact that a heavy portion of the posters here are college students (like you mentioned) and have left for school by than. In my case I'm an out of towner so the only way I can make it is if its a weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Agreed. A beginning of the summer type deal would be much better in the future. I'd definitely be interested in trying to make it out if that were the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
