Dick Allen Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 The A's called up that switch pitcher. Considering how many switch hitters there have been, I am kind of surprised there haven't been several more switch pitchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I wonder would people rather hear Kenny's 50 cents on the dollar speach again, or this one? http://blogs.ocweekly.com/navelgazing/2015...s_poor_fans.php Moura and other Halos writers have recently focused on the Angels' dramatic drop in attendance this season--they're on track to attract less than 3 million fans this year, which would be the first time since 2003 that that's happened, and the largest season-over-season drop in at least 15 years. But rather than bemoan that point, Angels vice president of marketing and ticket sales Robert Alvarado told Moura that ticket revenue for 2015 so far is higher than 2014 because they're making more money off higher-priced tickets and the people who buy them. So it's not a matter of bringing out as many fans to the ballpark as possible; it's a matter of squeezing out as much money as possible from those who can attend. Alvarado goes on to prove his class elitism with this telling quote: "We may not be reaching as many of the people on the lower end of the socioeconomic ladder, but those people, they may enjoy the game, but they pay less, and we're not seeing the conversion on the per-caps [Gustavo note: spend more money like other, wealthier fans, in Halospeak]," Alvarado said. "In doing so, the ticket price that we're offering those people, it's not like I can segregate them, because I'm offering it up to the public, and I'm basically downselling everybody else in order to accommodate them." To review: Alvarado doesn't really want poor people at the Angels Stadium because they don't spend that much money. By trying to attract them, he worsens the experience for wealthier fans. And if he could, he'd segregate the poors from everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can easily transition from hating Hispanics to hating African-Americans. http://halohangout.com/2014/03/20/trout-pu...s-ticket-sales/ Similar situation to the White Sox...they entered last season having missed the playoffs four consecutive seasons. Even a disappointing playoff appearance didn't help this offseason. Yet the trend does not surprise Alvarado. He said the strength of the resale market — StubHub, Ticketmaster's Ticket Exchange, and similar services — means that fans do not have to buy or share season tickets to get a good seat. And, since the recession hit in 2008, fans have become increasingly interested in mini-plans rather than in buying a seat for all 81 games. He said the Angels are about even with last year in revenue from tickets and concessions. Group sales are up, and so are luxury suite rentals. Donated tickets — charities and civic groups buy blocks and give them to schools, military personnel and the like — are down. The Dodgers have capped season-ticket sales at 35,000. Alvarado said the Dodgers build that base in part by selling blocks of seats to brokers and resale outlets. "They've got a significantly larger wholesale business than we do," Alvarado said. "We choose not to go that model." http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la...0603-story.html Remember, this same team is bleeding fans like the White Sox post 2006... Had the best record in AL, MVP, playoff appearance last year, etc. They're not losing fans to the DOdgers, either.
