My take on it is that the Sox have a lot of loyal fans who attend multiple games. They take those fans for granted. I guarantee I dropped over $2000 in that park this year not counting the tickets. I don't think they have any clue who I am. No, I'm not a corporate skybox owner, but I think a guy who spends around four grand on your product in a season is someone you'd want to take care of when you're constantly whining about how enough people don't come out. The fucking Sox don't even know who I am except when they send the invoices. They jerk us around at every turn. I've got the tickets for 27 of 81 games, but you give them to someone else for the playoffs and shuffle me upstairs? Fuck you!
Regular guy gets screwed? Sounds like business as usual for anything.
I figured there was some disconnect with Reinsdorf and the fans you were referring to.
There is. The Cubs market to their fans. At least McDonough did. They might not come right out and say, "Come to the World's Biggest and Best Beer Garden where the girls are hot and the beers are cold" because they'd catch too much heat for it, but they get that message out there just fine. I'm not sure who the Sox think their fan is, but I can tell you one thing, it isn't some guy who is going to be enticed by "All In".
