Dick Allen Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 12, 2007 -> 10:20 AM) Wow, this will be the first time in many many years where I will have to buy some opening day tickets somewhere else. Patience. They will release some seats a couple of days before the event. I believe you have season tickets. About a week before opening day call the charge line daily. You'll get a couple in a great location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather be in the first couple row of the upper deck then in the last rows in the outfield. If you pick best available this is what it will give you until the lower deck is completely sold out. If you pick Upper Box or Upper Reserved you can get seats in the first 5-10 rows of the upper deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had only planned on one or two games this year, so it's not a big deal. The hangup is I need 3 seats. 2 and 4 are easier to get from ST people, but 3 isn't as easy. Maybe I should have another kid, to make it an even number of seats.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I got great sets to a bunch of Yankee games. There must be a ton of 27 game plans as these games are just about sold out. Weekends are really tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for a fact that I'll be needing to get rid of some of my weekend tickets in July and early August. And there are plenty of fans here in The Ticket Exchange section that will sell you tickets for face value. Where there's a will, there's a way, often in good seats!

Controlled Chaos Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 12, 2007 -> 10:20 AM) Opening Day and Cubs all gone by 10am, except scattered singles. Heck, even trying to get seats for 8/11 vs Mariners of all games, the best available for 4 was Row 25 in 108, RF corner, with an obstruction warning. I don't get this. If the season base is roughly 22k, and a few thousand go to promos... where did the other 15k seats go? Did the premium holders get all of them in the first HOUR??? Not happy. I don't know one season ticket holder that was able to get extra Cubs or Opening Day tickets and all of them tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisox72 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Me and the guy I split my 27 game package with just bought single lowers for Opening day and the Sat/Sun Cubs series. Whoever uses those can just stand on the concourse or something. It is crazy though. I was shocked to see that there were not 2 together anywhere. Last year I was able to get all three of the Cubs series games, 2 each (granted they were in the upper deck), with no trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balance Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 "Premium" ticket holders got first dibs on single game tickets, starting at 9:00 a.m. yesterday. Full and split season STHs got to start at 10:00 a.m. Given that most of us posting here got on at 10:01 yesterday and were pretty much shut out, I wonder how many "Premium" STHs there are. This obviously means the holders of the scout seats and suites, but still- why was this year so different from last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to remember groups and Ozzie plans also gobble up tickets to the premium games first. Unfortunately to guarantee yourself seats to the big games, you have to be able and willing to make a big committment. That's just the way it is now.

Unfortunately to guarantee yourself seats to the big games, you have to be able and willing to make a big committment. That's just the way it is now. I don't think we're talking about the same thing. I'm a split-season (27 game) ticket holder. I've made a pretty substantial commitment to the Sox this year. Ozzie Plan holders only get one Cubs game, if I recall correctly, and don't get to go for single game tickets until after the split season ticket holders. What I'm griping about is that last year, when it seems that the ticket base was either the same size as it is now, or even slightly larger than it is now (I remember hearing that there was less than 100% retention in the season ticket base), even we split-season ticket holders were able to get Sox-Cubs tickets no problem. I'd just like to find out what's different in the single-game ticket sales this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I will be curious on the final season ticket number count as opposed to last year. I am happy that the team is doing this well with attendance. It only helps keep a high payroll and it keeps this team competitive. I made a small Ozzie plan committment that I do every year, and to me the cubs/sox game and a dibs on some of the better games ahead of the single season sale pays for it for me. I hope that the stadium is packed every day and we can keep this momentum going as a franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
