The whole scenario of 27 games for 125 bucks is actually embarrassing as they are just about giving away the product, has any other MLB team done something like this? This is the most depressed I’ve been since I became a Sox fan in 1952. The Sox have done similar passes in the past, but not this many games plus Opening Day for only $125.
February 6, 20251 yr It's really cheap because you can sit wherever you want. I just don't have interest in that many weekday games that early in the season.

February 6, 20251 yr 2 hours ago, Tnetennba said: You get a ticket to each game, but seats are chosen at random, so you don't even know which section until the day before the game. I won't sit in the upper deck in warm weather, screw freezing your ass off up there in April... I did this with UW football this year. I only ended up going to two games, the USC game and the UM game. It's kinda wack. The seats were pretty garbage overall. If it's like how the Huskies do it you can't sell them at all on resale markets, so you either give them away or just don't go.

February 6, 20251 yr I can’t believe myself, but I’m sort of interested? I mean, I know there’s no way I’d go to anywhere near all 27 games, but I’m still intrigued. Could just be the excitement of watching baseball again (the opponent, not us). I really may end up doing this for the ballpark food alone.

February 6, 20251 yr "Marlins fans can “get up to 45% off tickets and pick the games that fit your schedule.” Fans can also select “how many tickets to use per game" and "switch your seat location at the stadium.” Fans are considered a “Rising Star” if they invest in a $750 flex credit, which means they “won’t have to pay ticket fees and you'll get a 10% ticket discount.” The more fans invest, the “more of a ticket discount” they will receive. If fans renew through 2026, they will get “priority access and early bird pricing” for the 2026 World Baseball Classic. The standard membership plans begin as low as $11.50 per game (ATHLON SPORTS, 8/19)." https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/08/20/miami-marlins-season-ticket-concept/ Very creative...but hard to imagine many Sox fans forking over $750 to Jerry Reinsdorf right now.

February 7, 20251 yr That's actually a good deal. Of course you have to be OK sitting in miserable seats as far as location. 27 games for 100 bucks and change. Sox finally wise up. They'll still get your parking dollars and the delicious food and beer in the park. Surprised the Sox did this. Usually even if attendance is horrific teams don't usually want to give away tickets. ... On a side note, is it worth it to the Sox to sit folks in the upper deck when their average attendance will probably be about 15,000 except for the big name opponents? You'd think they would not want to pay the hourly workers who have to clean up the upper deck after games.

But between it being the Sox and the way they issue the tickets, there’s no way to sell the tickets for games you aren’t going to right?

Will just give them to friends and family that are willing to take them.

It’s so cheap but it might make a nice gift for family and friends that don’t know how terrible the Sox are. Imagine being the owner of a sports franchise in which you have to sell tickets for $4.63 a piece because your product is so bad… and you STILL make money. Jerry is such a bum.

Imagine being the owner of a sports franchise in which you have to sell tickets for $4.63 a piece because your product is so bad… and you STILL make money. Jerry is such a bum. They've obviously run all the models and determined in this case it's better to make the product consumption cheaper/easier...from tickets to tv viewing, at least in Chicagoland. Owning the parking lots and picking off the concession and souvenir sales...closing off the upper decks for all but the big weekend and summer promotion/giveaway/fireworks nights does make sense. Ofc...the challenging part is the only way to raise ticket prices from that bottom is offering a much better product on the field, which cuts into their profit margin. Running a $167 million payroll (versus $67) loses them money now...and they lack the vision of how and why to spend $267 million in the AL Central. Edited February 9, 20251 yr by caulfield12

Are they actually allowing this by policy? I assume you get assigned some crappy seats for each game. It only takes a toolbox security guard or ticket checker to ruin your comment, even if the stadium is empty as it is expected to be.
