IlliniKrush Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 If you were at soxfest and filled out one of those cards with your info, you may be a winner, check your email. I forgot to check the list at soxfest (not that i knew where it was either), but got this email this morning: You have won an opportunity to purchase tickets at to U.S. Cellular Field to cheer for your Chicago White Sox as they take on our cross-town rival Chicago Cubs. Purchase up to 4 tickets in the Upper Reserved section for one game during the 2005 Sox vs. Cubs Series at U.S. Cellular Field on Friday, June 24th, Saturday, June 25th or Sunday, June 26th. Tickets are $28 each with a limited number of tickets available for this promotion for each date of the series. Orders will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. Please present this letter along with a valid picture ID to the SoxFest Ticket window (January 14-16 only) or U.S. Cellular Field Box Office Window (January 14-21 only) to redeem your prize. This offer is only valid through Friday, January 21st at 6:00 pm and expires at that time. Problem is, i'm in Champaign. You have to go to the friggin box office to buy tickets? Brooks Boyer, this is not one of your better ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I can go this weekend if you need someone to go for you... You could try calling the team and see what they say. Or email Brooks directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 Thanks for the offer, but it says a valid photo ID has to be presented. I emailed whoever sent me this email, i'll probly email Brooks i guess. I think this was a great idea to reward people at Soxfest, but i don't think it's very convenient to make it out to the box office for many of the winners.

aboz56 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 My buddy Matt won as well. He is going to call up there and see what they can do because obviously we are not in the area to be able to go to the box office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 I got a reply that said to send my information to them via email and they'd mail me tickets. They seem to be on top of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I won the chance to purchase three tickets to the May 30th game against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of California of Major League Baseball instead. I think if I won the chance to pay the highest prices of the season to see the Sox play a team that almost everyone here supposedly hates or ignores AND that anyone in the Chicago area has a chance to see 81 more times per year if they choose to, I might just turn down that prize. No offense intended to you, Krush, just saying that I find it funny that it's a coveted prize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 Well, i enjoy attending these games because of the atmosphere, and this is the only chance i have to buy some tickets. I don't like the fact that they only come in ticket packages or that they are inflated, but that's how it goes. No offense taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aboz56 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 So what exactly should I tell Matt to do to claim the tickets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwritecode Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 QUOTE(Steff @ Jan 18, 2005 -> 11:49 AM) You already have a ticket if you need it B. Are you able to get extra tickets to those games? Besides opening day (even that's up in the air), that's really the only game that I can manage to go to each year. With the new deal of only being able to get Cubs/Sox games through multi-game packages I'm pretty much screwed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or email Brooks directly. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> how about trying to find tickets that arent two miles from the field, the upper reserved area is being sold for this exact reason, there are still lots and lots that are available in the lower area, including if people cant use their season tickets.

I think just being at a Cubs/Sox game is good enough for most, especially for myself, as I've never gone to one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSGuy406 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Brian, I got your PM, and I'm in. I'll definitely do that. I know it's early, but I assume we'll be tailgating that game as well as Opening Day...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I guess I can't get Sox/Cubs tickets this year. I got opening day tickets, but I prolly won't get to see the two teams play... Cuz i don't like those Ozzie/Minoso packages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
