CommunityBuzz! - Chicago White Sox game Tues Jun 5, 2012 - 7:10pm vs. Toronto

We had a good time the last three years at the FT White Sox game, so let's do it again .... I can get a group of tickets, for FTers, to the following games:

- Chicago White Sox vs Toronto Blue Jays
- Tuesday June 5, 7:10pm
- 18 tickets
- Lower Box 115 - (halfway up, very good view)

Tickets are $23 each - face value is $40 each

TICKETS - I have paid for the tickets already. Please pay me as soon as you can. You can pay for the tickets with Paypal (preferred) or check mailed to me (I'll take it if I have to). Some of you have gone to past games so you know my Paypal address. If not, please PM me and I will let you know my Paypal address.

All tickets are the "printable at home" type. I will print them and bring them. If there is a chance that you will not be tailgating and you might be running late, I can forward your ticket to you via email, just let me know.

Tailgating Parking Lot B, 5:15pm - 7:00pm - Lot B (just north of gate 5, southwest area of the lot), we will be in the grassy area near the concession trailer.

For tailgating, I will provide a few chairs and some food, it will be grilled tailgating fare. You can bring beverages or something that suits you if the above doesn't. Touch base with me via PM.

Getting there:
Driving: Parking is expensive - $23. This is Parking Lot B, you take 33rd St, to Wells St. to 34th St, entrance is from the northwest corner of the lot, see the map above. Signs will say "Red Coupon" but they will take cash in this lot.

The "L" or Metra: Get off at 35th and walk 5 minutes to just north of the park, near Gate 5.

I am driving from the West Loop, I could take a couple of people. PM me.

Neither day. Out of town that week.

Put me in as a maybe for either one (Tuesday is probably somehow easier to make work than Thursday).

Ok, I'll make it Tuesday.

I am going to find homes for the extra tickets.as like last time, if you need help getting rid of some tickets, let me know.

So are the extra tix gone?

So are the extra tix gone?
No, I still have a few. I have 18 total and there are 11 FTers going, as of now. I'm giving FTers a couple of more days and then I'll find homes for them. If you have friends that want to go, let me know and paypal me the $$$ for the tix.

Tough decision on this one, but we are going to take a pass. Enjoy, and thanks for keeping us in the loop!

I sure hope the weather is better than the whopping high of 53 we are only supposed to get up to today!

The future forecast is for lovely, lovely weather. The pitching matchup is a good one if nothing changes. Ricky Romero (6-1) vs. "Mr Perfect" Phil Humber.

Looking forward to watching the game with FTers and a nice, cold beverage. I think the beer is $6.50 but it is $1.00 for the beer and $5.50 for the YQ on the beer. Hey Raffles, anyway to dump the "fuel" on the beer cost? :p

Will be a little late.

Just got a call from the recruiter on an internal transfer that I'm up for. The only time that we can get an interview scheduled is 4:45PM today! Nothing like a last minute interview. :eek::eek::eek: Thank goodness I keep a suit jacket in my office for just such an occassion!

I'll be down afterwards -- hopefully in time for some tailgating! If not, I'll see you in the stands!

Thanks B-T for organizing your annual White Sox outing. Too bad the White Sox didn't deliver. But the company of fun FT people made it a great evening.

Too bad the White Sox didn't deliver.oh the Sox looked so good at the start, I though the Jays wouldn't have a chance.

Thanks for planning BT!!^

I now know where Iowa is also :)

Everyone showed up ... that's a first in FT history!

Thanks all for coming. Old friends and new friends too. Great tailgate, great weather, no politics discussed, fun night.

Great tailgate

Could not agree more - thank you for this and for organizing. This was the best time I've had at a game yet.

Thanks all for coming. Old friends and new friends too. Great tailgate, great weather, no politics discussed, fun night.

Let me echo those sentiments completely. We won't discuss that pesky ballgame stuff either.

BT -- Thanks so much for organizing this fun event.

Had a great time with y'all -- exactly what I needed! Thanks again to BT & Miss Kok for organizing & the tailgate.

But we won't talk about the banana sauce... :p
