QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 02:48 PM) Put a consistent winner out there. Problem solved. Not a team that consistently plays just well enough to stay relevant until the final month, but a team that makes a playoff appearance at a decent clip. That's a huge factor in their attendance. Sure the White Sox are usually over .500, but they've only been to the playoffs twice in the past ten years. If they made it to the playoffs 2-3 years in a row, I think their attendance would get a huge boost.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 02:18 PM) Stubhub already does this. Maybe I'm mistaken, but haven't all the tickets on Stubhub already been purchased by someone and are just on there for re-sale? On those tickets the team already got their money whether anybody sits in the seats or not.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 02:14 PM) We should do whatever it takes to average 90% capacity. What is the benefit of empty seats? Maybe somebody should start a "Priceline" type business dealing with sports tickets. Instead of getting empty hotel rooms, etc... cheap, you get empty seats at sporting events cheap.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 01:57 PM) Perhaps they should hire some financial analysts to figure out some better ticket pricing strategies. Sure would make a heck of a lot more sense to fill up the stadium, even if tickets are lowered to $10 or less, than to have the place at 30 or 40% capacity so often. You make up all of that money in concessions. Seems like this is something the Bulls must do. I get their "mobile alerts" and a couple times a week, either the day of or day before a game, they send promo codes for reduced priced tickets. I can't ever make it because I don't live near Chicago, but I think it would be something for them to look into.

Be sweet if it was an inside-the-park lead off homer by Juan.
