Ishmookie Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I'm very happy about passing 2 mil alreaduy. I always was envious of watching other parks filled up and the cell only had 20,000. To me its fun to go to a game where most of the park is filled. It's depressing when only 15k show up. GO SOX! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but imagine the traffic after the game. With 15k, you could get home so quick. With all these tickets sold it will take forever to leave.

YASNY Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Sox fans have told Reinsdorf for years that if they build a winner, they will put buts in the seats. Glad to see you guys putting your money where your mouth is. I'll have to pick my spots when I can and hope to scrounge up tickets when the time comes, but I'm thrilled tickets are selling so well.

We're not going to have sub-20k games against the D-Rays on a Thursday afternoon dragging down the average either, since we already have somewhere around 21,000 season tickets sold.

Â How does that work again? What number is used for announced attendance - paid or gate count? Paid would include some seats not filled, but also be reduced by freebie tickets.

Are you on crack?  Did anyone really think we would have already sold 2 million tickets before a single regular season ticket was sold to the general public? I know its a lot but we all know in Chicago that percieved demand is half of the battle. If people think they are going to miss out on something, they are going to snap up tickets ASAP. I know 3 million is a stretch, but if the boys play big ball early, it could happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayitaintso Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I wouldn't dobut that the attendence mark could reach up to 3 mil. If we already sold 2 million, i could see it getting up to 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retro1983hat Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 My prediction for lowest attendance game this year: Wed April 19 vs KC --- 22,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 So I still didn't hear anyone with an answer to the announced attendence question (unless I missed it) - which one is the "official" one you see announced, and in the box score, etc.? Paid or gate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
