JUGGERNAUT Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 I'm gathering votes to try & get the restricted 500 access decision repealed at SOX PARK. As many of you know if you buy a 500 section ticket (Upperdeck BOX or reserved) you are restricted from Lowerdeck access. That means you do not got to check out the CF view, the CF walkway, Bullpen sports bar, Fast pitch, & the many food canopies on the lower deck. This policy really sucks & has kept myself & several friends from going to the ballpark. You ask why only 24K were there on Sat. This is one of the primary reasons. 24K is pretty much close to Lowerdeck capacity. Who wants to buy a ticket to a game in which 50-75% of the amenities are restricted to Upperdeck ticket holders? Thanks for your support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreye Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Primary reason? I doubt that. If you want all that stuff, then pay a little extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Pony up $8 more and you can have all the amenities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 I think it would make you feel like you're not welcome, but I like to sit in the lower sections anyway and am willing to pay the extra $$ to sit there. I think they should reconsider that, though - it just seems exclusionary to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted September 8, 2003 Author Share Posted September 8, 2003 Pony up $8 more and you can have all the amenities. It's not a question of $$$, but seats available. Right now there are only Lowerdeck Reserved available for tonight's game in the Lowerdeck. All BOX & bleachers are sold out. The LDR are selling fast. That means there will be only UD (sec 500) left by 5pm when I can get down there to buy tickets. Now if they will take $8 & give me both a sec 500 ticket & LD access I would be more than happy to fork it over. As it is we are likely to pay ticketmaster the $4 to reserve LDR. Of course how they SOX profit from that surcharge is beyond me. I think tm get's it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I should have restricted this poll to SOX FANS planning to go the games. It looks as though we have trolls voting. :fyou trolls!

Harry Chappas Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 What are you going to do with LD access if you don't have a seat? I agree with this policy and will enjoy a big crowd and and s***ty seat both tomorrow and Thursday. The overcowding of the LD pisses me off. The UD is not bad as long as you are in the first ten rows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 I voted no. I already go to 40+ games a year. And I know folks who do NOT have season tickets that just buy theirs at the park in advance. Try doing that rather than wait until the last minute?

Juggernaut, I DID vote....I voted No. The question was whether or not the policy would prevent me from attending games. Since I don't prefer to sit in the UD, it really doesn't. I am not going to stay home because the Upper Deck people can't walk the concourse! That said, I can sympathize and understand your frustration. It just doesn't affect me since I don't sit up there.

You think you're going to get it changed..? That's funny. And I think you need to turn your " :fyou " to the mirror "asshole". If it wasn't for us season ticket holders you wouldn't have what you've got. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it. Get off your high horse and become a season ticket holder.. whiner.

Of course how they SOX profit from that surcharge is beyond me. I think tm get's it all. Well then, if you want to sit in a seat in the lower bowl, buy one. If for some reason you don't want to buy one, sit in the upper deck. There were plenty of available lower deck seats for tonights game before today, so you have to act earlier. When you go on a plane and pay for coach, and there are a few empty seats in first class, do you question why you can't sit there? I like the policy.

When the team is s***ty in years to come because we still can't support a 70MIL payroll because of ASS- like you I'll be sure to throw your pompous exclusive vote up your ass! Hey f*** you! The reason we don't have a fan base is becasue assholes like you sit at home and wait for a pennant race then b**** and f***in moan how there are no good seats left. If you went earlier and bought the seats, they are half price all of the time now, you wouldn't have this problem. I understand the constraints of money but don't you dare blame the people that spend and in may cases lose money on their team. I am using two unused tickets for a Tampa game and turning them in tomorrow and will have s***ty seats but I will be happy there are 30K+ fans there. Enjoy your miserable thoughts.

Try thinking of someone other than yourselves once in a while. There are plenty of ways to get discounted tickets. You could have had one of the booklets with 2 free lower deck tickets and 15 buy 1 get 1 free coupons. You could get a Sox 7 where you pay full price for 6 games and get the next one for $1. You could go on half priced night, I believe lower deck reserved are $12 tonight. You way out of line giving season tickeholders s***. We are the ones who put up money to go to games. We are the ones they base their payroll on, not someone who is too cheap to buy a ticket in the lower deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted September 8, 2003 Author Share Posted September 8, 2003 I'm done trying to help this team. The LD capacity is 24K. When the team is still w/out a championship 10 yrs from now because we still can't support a 70MIL payroll we can all point to the posts in this thread who somehow think UD ticket holders near game day should be penalized for supporting the SOX. You can't get past 24K without these ticket holders, but of course restricting the amenities of the park to them is a sure way to get their support. http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/040036449D083D47/? FANS HOLDING INDIVIDUAL GAME TICKETS FOR THE UPPER DECK (500 LEVEL) WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS OTHER LEVELS OF THE BALLPARK. That's a sure way to get to a 30K average!
