RockRaines Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I got the email. Honestly at this point, I dont think much of the event like I did in years previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I wasn't that big of a fan of last year's set up and now to get in Friday I need to pay $250 if I am reading right. I think I may have to pass this year. Oh well, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Wow. They have totally given the finger to the small budget fan. Soxfest used to be the one event that you didn't have to be rich to attend and have a chance at interacting with the players. It seems like even as a charity event, they are pricing the ordinary fans out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the team's payroll has been huge for years now (compared to previously), and all these luxury add-ons are one of the reasons why its possible. Catch 22. By the way, one great way to get closer to the players for cheap is going to Spring Training games. Only problem is having to fly out there. Hmmm... Figure if you go cheaper on Southwest or something, you can get to Tucson for $200 or less RT. Add in two inexpensive hotel nights, that's another $150. Maybe even with the airfare and hotel its actually cheaper to do Spring Training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its nice to raise money for charity, but with the prices at the ballpark, it would be nice if there was something left for the non-rich fans out there.
