"Your order is not accepted until you have been contacted by an account executive, your credit card has been charged and the charge of your credit card has been authorized by the applicable network." so if they say no we dont have any WS tickets left then I just say ok goodbye you may not charge my card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I'm assuming its a maximum of 8 WS tickets and thats only if you buy 8 season seats. My guess is 1 WS ticket for 1 game per season ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 If you could buy 1 season seat and get 8 world series tickets I'd buy it, sell the world series tickets (some of em) and that would pay for that 1 season seat that I'd never use, which is why I assume they wouldn't allow for that.

I have had the weekend plan for 2 years,and have always been treated great. Are you sure? You hereby agree that in consideration of purchasing tickets to each potential Chicago White Sox 2005 World Series home game at U.S. Cellular Field (location of tickets shall be determined by CWS in its sole discretion) (the “World Series Tickets”), you agree to purchase the number of 2006 full season tickets selected below (limit 8 tickets) (and hereby agree to pay a fifty percent non-refundable deposit), at the location determined by Chicago White Sox (the “Season Tickets”). You understand that, upon charge of your credit card for the deposit and such charge of your credit card has been authorized by the applicable network, the sale of the World Series Tickets to you is final, and you are obligated to pay the remaining fifty percent balance due on the Season Tickets and that you are not entitled to a refund for any reason. By providing your credit card number below, you hereby authorize Chicago White Sox to charge your credit card a fifty percent non-refundable deposit of the full cost of the Season Tickets as well as the full price of the World Series Tickets. You acknowledge that, as World Series tickets are limited, your offer to purchase Season Tickets and World Series Tickets may or may not be accepted by Chicago White Sox, in its discretion. Your order is not accepted until you have been contacted by an account executive, your credit card has been charged and the charge of your credit card has been authorized by the applicable network.

All the jazz about the non-refundable deposit suggests to me that if they can fulfill their end of the deal (provide you with the season tickets you requested and offer you the chance to purchase 1 WS ticket per potential game per season ticket bought if available, then you are already in for half (the non-refundable part) and will get nicked for the rest tomorrow. If they have the WS tickets available but you don't like the seats or the per game ticket limit you can decline but you're out the non-refundable part. At least that is what I'm getting out of it.

Keep us informed. That's exactly how I read it. I can also tell you that they can NOT offer you a WS ticket based on their wording if they so chose. The legality says they don't have to give you s*** for a WS ticket - and they have 50% of your money no matter what for next year. Will they do that? Not likely. But the contract gives them that right. And yes, when you accepted, it IS a contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, if you purchase 1 season ticket, you get 1 ticket to 1 game of the world series (from the sounds of it, it is a game of your choice).

Like you said earlier, you could make your season ticket money back by selling one or two of those WS tix.

Im thinking its 1 ticket all together. 1 ticket to 1 world series game of your choice. Thats at least the way i read it and I'm 99% sure thats right. I'm agreeing with ya. Hopefully we'll all be able to get a ticket at face or at least close to face. Its not a bad deal though if you get a tix to a world series game and spend a 2000 or so on a season seat as long as you plan on going to a few of the games. Heck, sell the Cubs/Sox tickets your entitled to and that will pay a decent portion of your seats as well as the Yanks and BoSox games and than just enjoy the rest of the games. There are some ways you can pull it. We just calculated or season seats in Anaheim and we ended up paying (actual out of pocket) 2000 for 4 seats for the entire regular season and postseason in the lower part of the UD behind home (about 5 rows up in the low part of the UD). Obviously ticket prices differ, but we sold some of our playoff seats and sold ocassional seats during the regular season. We also gave away a ton of seats to clients, but they aren't a bad investment and than your allowed to see as many games as you want at a pretty good price.

But the die-hards taking the plunge now are not going to do that, and even if they do, the Sox still have succeeded in selling a season ticket package. Actually, reading that again, you can even see that is being able to buy 4 tickets...1 ticket to each game of the world series and you'd be on the hook for 4 season seats. Or you could go for 4 tickets to 1 world series game. Basically your limited to the amount of seats you have total. However, it says for each ticket you purchase. SO basically anyone who purchases a World Series ticket in advance (ie before they go on sale) is on the hook for a season seat for every ticket purchased to whichever game they want to see.

I figure no matter what I will still come on top. I figure I may just sell my WS ticket (if its only 1 all together Im getting) and using the profit as a HUGE discount towards my season tix.

Chisoxfn Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 If you guys have the scratch and it means you get 2 tix to each game, I'd do it. I know I'm totally against scalping them, but in that instance (if it were me), I'd take the 2 tix to each game, go to 1 (thats all I want to see, I'd love to see more, but I figure thats my best shot) and I'd sell the remaining 3 games seats at the 1000 bucks they are going for. You basically pay for everything. Thats why I just can't see the Sox doing that. All that said, like Jim says, it still means the Sox get there money. Great deal for all parties involved, especially if it goes to a diehard fan. However, if its as assumed, I can see why brokers would be all over this deal.
