Hey, if you're rich enough to plop down the money for 20+ tickets in February, we have free stuff for you!

 

If you have to save up to take a family of four to a game or two, well then f*** YOU!

Wait, wut? This is about group outings. Like, for schools and businesses and whatnot. Not necessarily -- or even that likely -- rich people. It's a way to sell as much as they can as early as they can.

 

EDIT: Really, it's about making sure they can account for large swaths of tickets earlier.

The Bears do something very similar. If you pay for your full season ticket package in February instead of waiting until April, they have daily contest giveaways of a whole bunch of free swag.

If you're already in the market,why not? free stuff always looks good at first glance.

This is a pretty common thing. Lots of teams do extras for groups.

I bought 200 tickets to a game back in December. I am not rich and they are not for me they are for a group.

20 tickets costs as low as $100.

 

If you are looking for a way to make the Sox look like fools, you aren't going to get that here.

 

It's a contest designed to boost group sales in a year that most will write off.

 

 

 

Oh, and the cost to take a family of four to a game? $20 on a sunday. Even less if you have the kids signed up in the kids club.

Do we know when single game tickets go on sale? It seems odd that the season is a little more than a month and a half away, and not only are tickets not on sale, but they haven't even announced a date...?

Hearing end of the month or even early march.

That's pretty late from what I can remember.they really wanna push multiphase plans before single tix.probably because this team is a scary hit or miss ballclub this year.

Considering that not many people are expecting the sox to do well, this is a good move. Push some more group tix and 7 game plans as the single game sales will likely be low.
