AddisonStSox Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 After talking with one of the cashiers at the main store in the upper-deck, for the first time, I was able to put how much revenue is derived from a playoff appearence. Now, I'm sure a season-ticket holder or someone like that may be able to expand on these numbers, but, after the customer in front of me spent $400 on assorted Sox swag, he told me the larger concourse stores like his and the one found behind home plat on the lower level, have made $90,000 per game, while the smaller stores have made upwards of $50,000 per game. Ex-squeeze me!? Now, add to that all the swag sold around Chicagoland, Whitesox.com, etc. and you really start to get a sense of how much coin these Sox are creating. I can only imagine what the bottom-line looks like after adding all these merch sales, ticket sales, advertisments, etc. together.

Steff Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 IIRC.. MLB gets the coin and distributes it evenly to all the teams. Everything licensed by MLB is done this way I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything licensed by MLB is done this way I believe. Revenue sharing? To this degree? Holy smokes. ...and then people wonder by Pinella exploded on TB upper-management for not opening up their pocketbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
