Tigers’ trade boosted ticket sales
Yes it’s another Detroit Tigers post, but things are kind of exciting right now after that big deal went down earlier this week.
According to the Detroit News, the Tigers have sold over $1.28 million worth of season tickets on Wednesday and Thursday. Wow!
“In my 12 years with the Tigers, I’ve never seen anything like it,” Bob Raymond, Tigers vice president of marketing and ticket sales, said Thursday. “Since I got into the office yesterday, the phones have been ringing nonstop. It’s almost 7 (p.m.) now, and the phones are still ringing.”
On top of that, TigerFest (the team’s annual winter event) sold out in just over 24 hours. The tickets went on sale at 10am on Tuesday. The big trade was finalized around 3:30pm on Tuesday. The event did sell out last year.
I know personally, I would love to get out to Comerica Park more often and I would like to buy some single game tickets when they go on sale in March. Unfortunately between not knowing the Wings playoff schedule and my own summer schedule, I’m not going to be able to do that and will likely have to rely on my friends taking me since their families have had season tickets for years.
I think that it’s safe to say the Tigers are the new hot item in town.
