Whitesoxfan56 Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I wonder how they added more seats. Are they just fold up chairs or what? and what does the ticket say if you got these seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the attendance gets so high due to them filling the box suites. Remember, Jerry put in 2 rows of Box Suites...one above the club level and one below. Even during a sell-out game, half of those are full. The playoffs seem to have those mostly full. But a sellout does not require those be sold.

They added field seats.. not many. Maybe 200. But they also have cameras taking up the 1st row of scout seats and a few in the corners of the UD on both sides.

I was told the difference in the #'s Tuesday to Wednesday was a corporate Patio outing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the lower concourse..? That's not fair to upper buyers. And they can't do it upstairs because you can't see the field from the upper concourse. It would be a nightmare.

PudgeJr Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I know all about the fun of ticketmaster using them for years myself. The funny thing that I found about the whole system is that I have used it when Dave Matthews Band has sold out 100,000 tickets over two nights at Soldier Field in 18 minutes and they never had a proxy error. Jimmy Buffett, Bruce Springstein, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and countless other acts can sell out there shows with tickets upwards and beyond 100,000 and there never be a proxy error. In my case I saw my tickets, had my info already registered, and chose my ticket method and after hitting submit then I got the proxy error. I believe there is something going on with ticketmaster, I agree with moving to a better system, and bulls*** if it would take hours to get into the park with a photo ID and a ticket. If every major airport can get people in and out of plans and through security in a timely manner why can't a ball park, with a much smaller volume. It pisses me off to no extent what happened to me with ticketmaster and I have to whole heartedly follow ChiSox9 on what he is doing. I am not following this because I want my tickets back, I am doing this because I am sick of not getting to go to events that I want and seeing them sold by brokers and on Ebay for crazy prices. Of course I can turn around right now and could of sold tickets a few weeks ago for Dave Matthews at Red Rocks for a few hundred maybe even thousand dollars, but why? I bought tickets because I am a huge fan and want to see the show. I even have sold my extras for face value or bellow, just so fans can go. This same sort of s*** happens every time I want to go to a Bears game. In the end, we who follow this and believe that Ticketmaster is wrong, should not only organize but make the big stink. Bring it up to Obama. Bring it to the federal level. I still believe that one voice can make a difference and in a country that is suppose to be free enterprise and a government that should be fighting monopolies, it should be our responsibility to fight back and be heard. Thank you ChiSox9 for starting this, I hope you and we can finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDylan Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Ticketmaster recently changed my seat location for game 6. I'm not happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
