Turnout is kind of low at this point. Only 70 or so are in. I'd try to make it if I didn't live in a different state, but y'all have til April 21st to do so. If you have any questions leave them here, but Gage will send an autographed picture to any one that goes and requests the picture.

I've already bought my ticket.  What is included for the price, BTW?  Besides the patio party.  Food?  And our seats?  Anybody know where they are?

The patio party includes food and drinks before the game and something like an hr into the game (IIRC).

How is this trip coming along?  Also, is there a limit to the amount of tickets we can buy?  I'm thinking of going but would like to bring my familiy, probably about 10 of us.

 

Pretty sure there is no limit..I bought 8

I went last year and had fun. Granted I know some people over there as well as I know people from here, but I think I only heard one joke about people getting their parents to pick up people from Soxtalk, but I could have missed more too. I thought it was a great time and would recommend it to anyone who is still on the fence. really it is an excellent deal, and I think totally worth it. I look forward to seeing all my friends, both new and old at the COTC :cheers

How come I don't recall any of this extracurricular activity?  :huh

 

 

Because aside from a few catty comments on the concourse, most of it took place in the seats.

Gentlemen –

 

As of this AM, we are sitting at 78 COTC tix sold for the May 22 game date. This is much lower than the 213 we had last year.

 

The ticket order deadline is this Fri. (Apr. 21), so my hope is that most people are waiting to the last minute. You might want to post a reminder to your folks on your sites re: the ticket order deadline – all COTC holds will be released this Fri. at 5pm. After that, there is no guarantee on seating or availability for the event.

 

Contact me w/ any questions.

 

Thanks,

Kurt

For some reason I don't remember any extra activity either...but then again after all the free beer most of the night became a blur anyways. :D

I would just like to say in people's defense that a Monday nite in May is a horrible time to have this outing and expect 300 people to show. People have to work, there are people still away at college, and kids are still in high school. It was unrealistic to expect a big turnout with those circumstances. I know it looks bad, but the date picking was awful. There are lots of proms, finals, field trips, work etc that make this impossible for a lot of people.

And some people are graduating from college that week/weekend :D

Can't blame the Sox for the date. 2 dates were given and the WSI majority picked 5/22 for Frank's return.

Ya, plus WSI tends to really like Frank so they wanted to be there. I can't blame them, its a sentimental game and obviously weekend games will be crowded and even a weekday game in June or July will be tougher than say a May game.

 

I remember hearing they may do a 2nd one, but my guess is with a low turnout in the 1st one (or at least it appears that way), it seems that they'd be reluctant to do one during the summer.

 

I know if its June/July/August I'm so there.
