They even posted the savings per seat. One can now buy a season ticket seat for $810, for the full season. $10 a game. And that includes the front rows of that section. That's pretty incredible. Down about 18% in our section. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Do the Club Level and Premium Box seats get filled with full season plans, or is there some other reason those seats are not available on 27 game plans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter to me now since I don't live enough to get season tix, but if I did live close enough that's what I'd want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me if they tried to accommodate clients who just want 27 games. May not be a bad idea to ask.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingandalongonetoleft Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I know much hubbub has been made about lack of attendance for this team, but I would imagine in just about any other city, a team that sat in first for 120+ games in a year where "Appreciate the Game" was the marketing campaign, prices would stay put or even increase. I wonder how much the Red Line closure contributed to the price reductions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much the Red Line closure contributed to the price reductions. Prices were out of whack for a few years now, and when you factor in the drama associated with the previous manager, as well as the previous general manager, AND the performance of the team , it adds up. Tigers, btw, went to the WS this year and ALCS last year, and had outfield tickets in the $20-ish range. Sox? Bleachers seats were $34 for a tuesday night game.

The ticket reductions sound like market correction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ticket reductions sound like market correction. I think the Red Line thing will be a bigger deal than it should be because I believe there are plenty of fans who have never set foot anywhere south of Roosevelt other than the 100 yards between the Red Line stop and the Cell who are afraid to "wander around the South Side". When I was local, I lived in Oak Park and was walking to the Green Line stop anyway, but I get the sense that there are a lot of people who won't be OK with doing that.

Less crowded after games and easier to get home for me (usually had to pick my bike up at my office by the Morgan stop). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paint it Black Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Dumb question...but I just don't feel like emailing a ticket rep only to be slammed with emails for the rest of my life. I have never purchased season tickets (finally have the disposable income) but how do the prices work? For example, if I choose an upper box plan at $378, that's the only cost, correct? No PCL like stuff, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll connect you with my rep. Otherwise they may stick you with an intern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
