The Chicago White Sox will open spring training for pitchers and catchers on Feb. 12 before starting the exhibition season Feb. 23 against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Camelback Ranch.

 

The Sox will play 16 home games at Camelback Ranch, including a March 15 game against the rival Cubs, who will host the Sox on March 7 at Mesa.

 

The Sox will play the world champion San Francisco on March 4 and Team USA on March 5 at Camelback Ranch.

 

The first full-squad workout will be Feb. 17.

 

The Sox will play the Dodgers, their Camelback Ranch co-tenant, on Feb. 23-24 and March 23. The Sox will conclude the Arizona portion of their exhibition season against Cleveland on March 27 before playing two games at Milwaukee on March 29-30 to conclude the exhibition season.

 

Various ticket plans are now on sale at the Sox's website. A pre-sale of single-game tickets will be held from Dec. 14-16. For additional information, fans can call (623) 302-5000 .

 

The ticket pricing structure will remain the same as 2012's pricing for most seats.

 

Tickets to all individual games go on sale Jan. 7.

 

All home games will start at 1:05 p.m. Arizona time, except for the March 15 game against the Cubs and the March 27 game against the Indians (both 12:05 p.m.).

Two lil points to consider:

 

1. March 29 and 30, the Sox will play TWO games in MILWAUKEE against the Brewers. Last time the Sox and Brewers met like this, it was ...get this...2005. Also, Sox season ticket holders did get free tickets for these games.

 

2. If you are thinking about heading out to Arizona for ST, Camelback Ranch has an attractive offer. Buy 3 or more Sox home game in Arizona(they sell a 3+ game plan), and you will receive FOUR FREE TICKETS to the Sox/Royals game at the Cell on April 3 or 4.

Are these Spring exhibition games usually televised at all?

 

Not all of them, but I would say 70% of them seem to be on either local Chicago TV stations, WGN, ESPN, or whitesox.com

 

They actually do quite a bit of the games on whitesox.com. I think they did like 13 webcasts last spring, and that number seems to grow each year.

I'm almost 100% decided on subscribing to mlb.com for next season, even though I'll miss a load of the mid-week games, so I was thinking more if they would have them or not. Should've said. I suppose they'll have a lot or all of them? Cool that whitesox.com have a good number of webcasts.

mlb.tv has no blackouts on spring games. if a team puts a st game on tv, then it's on mlb.tv

Great. If I'm picking up how the blackout thing works correctly, I don't think they'll be an issue throughout the season for me where I am anyway.
