Just received an email from the Sox about renewal. (I did not opt for playoff tickets) Prices are remaining the same. That roadtrip from hell hurt the Sox more than just in the 2009 standings. They didn't have enough people locked in to jack prices up a couple of dollars a game. Since last year they had 3 extra games, all sellouts, and jacked up ticket prices and dropped payroll, I wonder how low it will go for 2010.

I'm glad they are leaving them the same, sort of figured they would after a disappointing season, in a bad economy, and after a big ticket price hike.

 

Still on that fifty cents for a dollar thing though, huh?

If they dropped it when they had higher attendance, more dates, more than likely a much higher renewal rate, and raised the price, what will they do now? Its going to go lower, I think that's pretty much assured. The question is how much lower, and for the record, you mentioned .50 vs $1, not me.

 

The renewal rate is going to be interesting and maybe scary.

I think they raised them enough last year when the economy was tanking while most the rest of the owners didn't raise prices. Renewal rate will be interesting.

I thought we had established with the adds of Peavy and Rios, we ended up this year pretty much at the same payroll of last year?
