Texsox Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 QUOTE(sin city sox fan @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 11:10 AM) I'm sure that some of these were snagged by brokers....but I doubt if they went too crazy on these. Knowing that prospective buyers could get the same deal at this time really limits their market. People are not going to pay $3000 to a broker for a ticket if they didn't take advantage of paying the same amount to the White Sox for season tickets and World Series tickets. And for those of you upset about these not being sold by themselves (without season ticket obligations)....rest assured that the brokers would probably secure almost all tickets sold in this manner. They will pay hundreds of people to wait in line, dial on 20 different lines, try connecting on 15 different computers, or do anything else necessary to make the purchase (including bribes to people in the ticket office whom I sure they know quite well). I applaud the Sox for this effort and look forward to seeing the moves in the off season this extra revenue will provide. Lets not find anything to b**** about in this time of extreme joy....we're in the f***ing World Series and in great shape as an organization for years to come! Excellent points. I saw it as an anti-broker move, not a pro broker move. IIRC when I had Bulls tix, what I wanted was only season ticket holder to be allowed in.

THEWOOD Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I am going to be very pissed if this falls through...it really does not look like anyone is going to call us. You would think they would have a release or email stating what the situation is concerning people who have yet to be notified that made a deposit. Im sorry but this is really s***ty of them.

They should've offered the deal throughout yhe playoffs. They had radio commercials offering this same deal in like August. I would have done it then, but my Dad and I couldn't convince Mom to give in until she saw how much WS tickets were going for. If we'd have done it in August heads would have rolled. I'm hopeful that they put some tickets on reserve for this purpose and that we'll here from someone by tomorrow. Regardless, I'm going to at least one game no matter what it costs me.

I got in touch with someone a couple of weeks ago to ask about this offer because I was interested in doing it and knew it was offered at some point but the account representative said it was no longer valid.

Greg Hibbard Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 How f***ing hard is it to put a one-paragraph update up on whitesox.com "we're working on it you'll get your tickets." I STILL don't know how many WS tickets you can buy either, and it seems like that info is still completely vague across the board. Anyone know for sure?

rangercal Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 (edited) http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=cws 10/18/2005 1:44 PM ET World Series tickets for games at U.S. Cellular Field sold out CHICAGO -- Several thousand individual-game tickets to each of four potential World Series games that could be played by the 2005 American League Champion Chicago White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field sold out today in 18 minutes. The World Series begins Saturday, October 22.

If its about a $1000 or so more than the 50% deposit, you know you are in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I don't think anybody is screwed - not totally at least. I agree they should be able to send out a 'processing request' general email or at least post it on the site, but I'm sure they set aside what they thought was an appropriate amount of WS tix for people who purchased the packages and those were not part of the general release. Now, whether they held back enough for each package to get 1 WS ticket for each of the 4 potential games is another matter. I reread that first sentence at least 50 times, and it still sounds like the idea was you would get an offer to by a ticket to each game – with the "if available" caveat large-looming and now pregnant with meaning. For what it's worth, my Dad took momentary leave of his usually fiscally responsible senses (Go Dad!!) and signed on the line for a pair of full season plans as well. So I'm pinning my hopes on this coming through just like you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
