    Could the Sox theoretically sign Colas for whatever it is they have left, and then have a handshake agreement to extend him a few months later so he gets closer to what he'd normally get?  Or would that trigger a bunch of tampering / INTL spending limit rules?  

    Curious on this as well.

    This is one of the most egotistical & delusional posts I have read in some time.  I can only laugh that someone wrote these words and actually believes them.  I hate to be the one to tell you this, but not everything is about you.  I don’t want the La Russa commentary to go away, I just don’t want it in every single thread.  Tony should continue to be held accountable for his shitty actions, but the board should also be free an admin getting to derail every thread with his non stop La Russa jabs.  I know for a fact I’m not alone in feeling that way and all I’m asking is for us you to keep your TLR commentary in related threads.  I don’t know why that’s such a hard ask, especially when the site owner specifically asked for as much.

    And lol at me being upset at your “protest”.  Me saying that you were being single-minded in your efforts, putting your own moral compass above all other considerations, doesn’t mean I was angry about it.  I even acknowledged your heart was in the right place, I simply didn’t agree with your approach which could of had consequences for innocent parties.  Not everything is black & white and that was my argument.  All that being said, not sure why I’m rehashing this since you actually believe your “protest” was somehow about saving lives...as if La Russa would magically stop driving drunk if not managing the Sox.  You are clearly a smart guy, but you’ve completely lost your mind with this La Russa stuff.

    One could argue if he was fired it would actually increase his chances of driving drunk again in the future.

    2021 Ticket Prices Increasing?

    Yeah the team being significantly better should help the demand/resale value, but a lot of it depends on which games you're choosing to go to/list as well. In our plan, we always list Cubs/Sox (I personally hate going to those), and try to list some games in the Yankees/Red Sox tier of teams. Date of the game is also important as well, early season games tend to do worse than mid-summer ones. Generally we just use the profits from what we sell to help cover the expenses of the tix we have, very rarely have we had to eat any tix.

    Reselling our lower 140s seats ranged from $10-70 depending on opponent/day. Probably $20 avg on weeknights and $40 avg on weekends. 

    Basically, how much you make back depends on selling Cubs/Yankees/Red Sox tix and going to the rest. Reselling the parking pass helps too — I’ve made $5 for bad opponents and $30+ for premium opponents. Stubhub takes 20% but it’s the most reliable for getting takers. 

    Personally, I hate Cubs/Yankees/Red Sox games because of traffic/parking. Those go on Stubhub everytime. I’ll only go to soldout games if it’s a special occasion, final week of a playoff race, or the playoffs. 

    Thanks

    Was going to make a new thread but this seems like a good spot to ask.

    Those of you who have 20/40/full season packages - how much of a loss do you take if you need to sell some games away? (ie. buy a 20pack but end up selling 10 online). I would assume part of it is dependent on how well the Sox are doing but curious as my schedule makes it tough to plan far in advance.

    Oh man. I'm so nervous and so excited. If we had control I'm sure we'd choose to win every playoff game with 10 run first innings, but deep down, these elimination playoff games are what we live for. 

    Any player on the Sox, from MVP candidates to backups and disappointments, could make themselves a Sox legend today with one swing of the bat or one flash of leather. The highs of these games are as high as they get and, while it won't feel like it at the time if we lose, the lows are truthfully not that bad. I'd rather be taking an L in our last playoff game than be taking 100 Ls in a season with no end in sight just dreaming of this moment.

    But the moment is here now so LFG SOX, I'm not done with playoff baseball yet, go win and make sure you aren't either!!!

    Great post
