Not to offend, but Sec 115 is not considered a "Premier" Location to me. Someone in your situation definately would be looking to move to the now heavily discounted areas around the park. Premier to me are the following: - scout seats - Gold Coast - LD Box exactly between the bases (about 3/4 the length of each dugout). - Club Level (dugout to dugout). If you own those seats and can afford them, I don't see how you would give them up regardless of the discounts being handed at other sections of the park. And as far as I can see by the turnout at each game, those seats mentioned were about 85% full even on nights when only 12K were at the park. Keep in mind the Sox are very anal about protecting their premier seat locations and not allowing people to sneek in to them when they don't belong there. |

Bingo. I highly doubt the M&M guy is up in arms because someone sitting in Sec 156 by the foul pole is getting 30% off his invoice. |

Why should I move to another section when I can very easily walk up to the park and buy tickets to games I want to go to and be stuck with a bunch of April and May games where it is Bears weather? The Sox were in first for most of the season and nobody complained about not being able to get tickets. Even with the price reduction that won't change because of the holdback. The Sox are not "anal" about keeping people out of the Premier Seats. I've never had trouble strolling into them.

[QUOTE=LoveYourSuit;3002077]By wealthy (in this current economy), I mean having a formidable amout of disposable income each month to pamper yourself with the pleasure of having tickets to 82 baseball games at a premier location
I just happen to love baseball. While I enjoy it, it certainly doesn't feel like I am pampering myself. My point is, the discounts are great, I applaud the Sox for it and hope fans really do show up next year. I don't expect a discount in my location, but I am disappointed with a potential increase. That may force me to drop out. |

In the Trib this morning it said that the reason premium lower box prices have not been announced is because they are restructering that section. My guess is that they are going to increase pricing on seats in the first 5-10 rows between the bases.
Good call on figuring out that the free ticket survey is more than likely what was used to make these changes. I'm surprised they kept lower box seats the same price. Lower box seats just past the bases and the first 5-10 rows down the line are decent but many seats in those sections are just "ok". It's a much different experience (i.e. better) watching the game even in the last row of section 130 than in the 15th row of section 114 or the 10th row of section 113. If I had season tickets in the lower box then I would seriously consider moving to one of the now much cheaper sections. Premium upper deck and bleacher seats now come out to $19 per ticket and a seat in outfield reserved is not much more. That is not bad at all. Season ticket holders in the first row of the bleachers and outfield reserved are making out like bandits with this new pricing. Those seats almost always sell for a premium on the secondary markets. Full Season Prices: 2013 Pricing Lower Box - $2916 ($36.55 per ticket) Outfield Reserved - $1701 ($21 per ticket) Bleachers - $1539 ($19 per ticket) Premium Upper Box - $1539 ($19 per ticket) Upper Box - $1053 ($13 per ticket) Upper Reserved - $810 ($10 per ticket!) Premium Club Box - $3683 ($45.47 per ticket) Club Box - $3439 ($42.46 per ticket) Last edited by WhiffleBall; 10-19-2012 at 10:00 AM. |

Brooks is on the Score right now saying that Dynamic Pricing is here to stay. Counters by saying the $7 upper deck and $20 lower deck sections will not be dynamically priced. Also confirms that premium and prime dates ar a thing of the past, except for the Cub games and maybe Opening Day.
Those outfield reserve partial plan prices do have me wondering whether to add on to the games I have now....

I do not know if there has been a harsher critic of Brooks on WSI than me. I just emailed him thanking him, the fans needed this. He hit a home run here, this is perfect.

Increasing the prices of the uber premier seats resembles a thread that might be in the PI forum.

What is the number of people that will need to come out to satisfy this requirement? And people will ALWAYS have excuses.
