Jose Abreu Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Genius marketing by the Sox to give a presale code to those who join the Black List. Really reaches out to the younger demographics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is lights years better than Wrigley for concerts and better than Soldier Field. Only saw one concert at USCF a few at the other two. I am not even taking location into account.

sin city sox fan Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I hope this doesn't damage the field before post season games are held there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boopa1219 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I am so there, they had me at Tyler and Young Thug (That's my best friend). It always bothered me that the Sox were not doing anything with Chance the Rapper, outside of the early season commercials and the hats, there hasn't been much activity between the two. Its glad that this festival is happening and hopefully this is the start of the org getting the change to tap into some alternative revenue streams. But in all seriousness, does anyone else find it funny that Young Thug and Lil Wayne are playing the same stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Apparently Citi Visa owners get first preference, so if I can snag seats for under like $35, I'll go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Chance decided to allow fans to buy the previously unavailable "obstructed view" seats. And I got a pair! He sold them for only $25 I stead of $35 for the other cheapseats. My seat is in the LF bleachers. Wont be able to see anything, but they are setting up video screens all over to watch. Going to attempt to sneak to better seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan18 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Blows my mind that this is cheaper than the friggen NIU game. I know it's 2 different groups running these events, but feel like they could've gotten more for this than they did. Festival goers have no issue dropping a lot more than $50 after fees even for bad views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the field seats were going to be about $95 after fees, and club seats like $170. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Festival goers have no issue dropping a lot more than $50 after fees even for bad views. It's because Chance wanted to keep the seats cheap for the fans. As usual it backfires as a lot of people turn around and try to make a boatload on the secondary market with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
