I got priced out a lot more this year than in previous years. Felt like the get in the door price was over $100 a ticket for most weekend games this summer.
The Cubs got better & drew fewer fans. I'd guess the cost of tickets & the ancillary cost of attending the ballgame (parking, concessions, beer, etc.) rose too much in an environment where fans are squeezed economically & sporting events would be first to go in a budget 1/3
Sox fans moving from “it’s not our fault we got matched up with a .500 team in the wild card, you still have to win the games” to “you can’t celebrate beating us because we were supposed to be bad” is crazy motion
Very legit take. Most Cleveland Guardians fans I’m interacting with are handling this way better than the “professionals” running their team’s account.
Imagine celebrating this hard after beating a Chicago White Sox team predicted to win 69.5 games. You’re telling on yourself.
You should be more mad at all of the Sox fans that only bought playoff tickets to make a quick buck reselling them. They’re the ones pricing people out.
Thinking about all the people in my life that couldn’t afford to go to their first White Sox playoff game but this was just a casual night off her Kalshi earnings for her
I’m convinced that anyone who is longing for David Ross either didn’t watch the Cubs in 2023 or is trolling. He mismanaged that team so badly that they found a way to miss the playoffs after having a 92% chance of making it in September.
@FaheyJohnn51374@JeffPassan Are you implying that Jerry cares more about the team this year than he has in the past? They’re still a bottom 6 payroll in the league. The only thing that’s changed is they’ve caught lightning in a bottle this year and are currently in first place.
@FaheyJohnn51374@JeffPassan Sox fans will claim they’re the true baseball fans in Chicago but they won’t even show up to support their team unless they’re in first place.
@hobymilnerfc @raymon322@CarlsBeef My biggest complaint is all the times he just freezes in the middle of a play. There are times you’ll hear the crack of the bat and the crowd roaring and he won’t say anything until the play is nearly over. It’s not TV, we need the announcer to tell us what’s happening.
