LVSoxFan Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I RSVP'd the last week, well before the deadline, only to find out from my boss that you're supposed to get tix in the mail as well--what they sent you in the mail originally look like the tix you need; they're NOT. So when that didn't happen I called yesterday and left detailed message along with my customer number. No call back. This morning I called again and when I mentioned what I was calling for, the person at the White Sox audibly sighed and passed me on to the sales agents. I said something to the effect of "I guess this is becoming a problem" he grunted "Yeah." Then I get the vox mail for some agent and I leave message, again detailed. He calls while I'm at lunch and says... They have no record of me ever rsvp'ing. Here it comes. You know, I hate when I follow the rules, and I get screwed. Especially by a team that I've poured so much money into over the years. This was supposed to be a "thank you" from them, now it's turning into a "f____ you."

Controlled Chaos Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Our tickets came ok and not to piss ya off, but we also got two extras. We requested to be put on a list if there were extras and they called the 17th and said we were able to fill your request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 A lot of folks got shafted on this. Called, didn't get tickets, called back.. "sorry.. it's full". How is it full? You know how many invites you sent out.. didn't you realize you sent out too many..?? The included ST holders, those who participated in Dog Day, and those who booked suites and patio parties. Several folks we know got more than 1 set of invites as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVSoxFan Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 I can't tell you how disappointed I am. I was really looking forward to this. I'm shocked that the White Sox could screw up something like this so badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I got my tickets and I rsvp'd on the last day. It is goofy though. If you look at the big tickets somewhere on there is does say they are good for entrance, but I guess not. If its something that the Sox screwed up, I'll guarantee my rep had something to do with it. Those who haven't been to these before, its a lot of fun. Its basically a patio party but you can go on the field and in the dugouts, and I think they let you in the visiting clubhouse. It was dissappointing they didn't have it last year, so I am really looking forward to it. I guess they are going to have the WS trophy there as well for photos.

LVSoxFan Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 That's what I don't get. The passes I hold say they are good for entry and then I find out you need ADDITIONAL tix. Fine, so I RSVP. So now they screw that up and I'm being un-invited. I did everything they asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxrd5 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I RSVP'ed two days late...and I still got tickets. Its called being really friendly, courteous all combined with a little pushy. Needless to say my tickets are waiting for me at will call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVSoxFan Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Oh I've been polite as hell. Thus far, no callback. I even told them I'd take another date, it doesn't have to be the 28th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Why don't you guys let me help you avoid the aggravation by having you guys hand over all your tix to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVSoxFan Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Um, perhaps you're not reading into this; I HAVE no tix, LMB. The rep didn't even return my call. I was soooo looking forward to playing catch on the outfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I just got back. It was pretty cool.

Good food ,beer , etc. IT WAS REALLY CROWDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The SOX did drop the ball this time with this, making it way more difficult than it needed to be with the rsvp'ing, Pin Number for certificates etc etc. Next time they wont do this system.

Ticketmaster did. The Sox told the Hyatt how many THEY were comfortable with. They Hyatt's plan is to generate revenue so booking more rooms and giving away more tickets is how they make $$.

It just seems like the Sox should have more control over that. I know they nearly doubled the amount of people allowed into Soxfest itself but did they actually book more rooms this year as well?
