Attendance Thread

[Harry Chappas]

Can the cat that did all of the charting for attendance reappear. I am to lazy to look for it but it was a cool little graph with some great detail. Two sell-outs against the Royals and 60K plus thus far in this series has got to be nice.

 

This stems from the Trib gig about the attendance.

This stems from the Trib gig about the cub attendance. What are the idiots pulling game by game.

 

The question I have is why is our attendence being compared with the Cubs? I'd be more interested in how we are doing amongst the league average. The Cubs will outdraw us every game this year (they have a larger seating capacity and sell out every game). Their attendence figures are clearly unique considering the whole Wrigley phenomena, among other things. I don't see why the Cubs still outdrawing us is considered news.

Who cares about Cubs attendence? The Sox are drawing fine, not selling out every game, but we didn't expect to, but the crowds sure have increased. More winning seasons by the Sox and more losing seasons by the Cubs will eventually change that.

[LVSoxFan]

Bingo. We will never outdraw the Cubs, period. Point being: we are World Series champions, so who the f*** cares?

Here's the chart. So far, I've been wrong on 1 game that I had predicted would sell out (predicted on Feb.28). I thought the 3rd game of the season would sell out, but apparently thousands of tickets were released just a few days before that game. Everything else I've been right on.

 

I haven't changed anything, like what's available for future dates, except for the announced attendance for each game. Since Feb. 28, tickets have been selling like crazy and a lot of summer games are close to sold out...

 

 

2006 WORLD CHAMPION CHICAGO WHITE SOX TICKET SALES @ US CELLULAR FIELD

 

AS OF TUESDAY, FEB 28, 2006 - The day before Spring Training

~ 2 best available for all games (no 2 seats available = sold out)

-17 guaranteed to sellout because best available is UD 5 sections or less from corners

-9 guaranteed to sellout because traditionally sold out = July 4th, half price & Fireworks nights after Memorial Day

-8 guaranteed to sellout because games vs. Cleveland, St. Louis, Houston, and Fan Appreciation Day

-10 guaranteed to sellout because tickets are going fast & games during summer

I assume this is what you were tlaking about:

 

[whitesoxin']

We are 7th in % filled so far. I'd imagine that number will only climb higher.

[Harry Chappas]

I like both charts, thanks.

 

I like to see what we are drawing and there was some pretty serious work put in on these and hadn't seen them in a while.

 

I did not mean to have any cub talk in this.

[Iwritecode]

Bingo. We will never outdraw the Cubs, period.

 

It's happened before (despite what the Cubune will have you believe) and I guarantee it will happen again.

SigmaPlot is significantly better.

Maybe, but I don't really know what that is.

They do a very nice job updating at that link too, it's updated after every home game. Has the game number, attendance that day, total for the year after that day, and average for the year after that day. Also goes side by side comparing the numbers to where we were at at that point last year.

Despite every Cubs game being sold out, there's thousands of empty seats. How many seats do you think is sold to their scalping agency (Wrigley premium)? The Trib co. artificially increases demand by allocating thousands to their agency. That's what happens when the Trib co. gets greedy. I hope no one buys tickets and they just wind up choking on them.
