Springfield Soxfan Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 KW always makes a move around SoxFest (except the year that Ozzie and he were in a tiff over Thome), let's hope it is Cespedes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jan 4, 2012 -> 04:21 PM) So a friend of mine and I purchased the SoxFest Hotel package, that comes with two weekend passes. All taken care of all I have to do is actually attend the thing. Now a 'GF' of mine would like to join, would all she need to do is buy a two day pass for $70? I just wanna make sure she will be able to hang out with us at the hotel 'afterhours' as well as attend the seminars and events all weekend. Any help appreciated. Did they finally change that? They were charging $70 per pass in addition to the $300+ for the room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were charging $70 per pass in addition to the $300+ for the room. Looking at the official website, no they didn't. Also, it's $75 per pass. HOTEL PACKAGES: SoxFest * The hotel's special SoxFest rate for a two-night stay is $316.20 (includes 15.54% city and state taxes), plus fees . Fans will be limited to two (2) rooms per reservation name. The only way to obtain SoxFest weekend passes is to purchase a two-night SoxFest stay at the Palmer House Hilton. Note: Palmer House Hilton applies a charge of $25 per person, per night in rooms with more than two (2) adults. This fee, along other applicable fees will be charged by the Palmer House Hilton at a later date. WEEKEND SOXFEST PASSES: * For each two-night hotel package purchased (limit 2), fans may buy up to four (4) weekend passes at $75 each (children ages 3 and younger DO NOT require a SoxFest ticket for admittance). Please note that SoxFest passes must be purchased in addition to the hotel package. Passes must be purchased in the same transaction with the SoxFest hotel package. Based on that last bolded line, you may not be able to get another weekend pass. A 2-day pass for Sat/Sun at $70 may be the best you can do.

I've been trying but the guy who's in charge clearly doesn't feel like calling me back. But yes this pretty much resolves my question. I'll buy her the two-day pass for the Saturday and Sunday activity and she will stay in a hotel with the rest of us. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friday is hotel guests only. She'll need a 3 day pass if she's staying all weekend. Not everyone is back from xmas break. Try again on monday.

ewokpelts Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I defintely want to hit the Selig Seminar. Looks like he's being added to the normal "meet sox brass" session. So instead of f***ing with Kenny, I get to ask Bud a hard question or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwritecode Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I wonder who the moron is that came up with the idea of charging people $131 to stay Friday night at the hotel and still not allow them into Soxfest itself. Fans now also have the opportunity to book just one night at the Palmer House Hilton. The special SoxFest one-night rate is $181 (which includes tax) for either Friday night or Saturday night. Along with a one-night reservation, fans may purchase either a two-day pass (good for admission on both Saturday and Sunday) for $70 or a Sunday-only pass for $35. Those who book a hotel room for just Friday night will not have access to SoxFest that evening, as it remains reserved for only hotel guests with weekend passes.
