I
have a White Sox scorecard with attached ticket stub for August 6, 1944. The Sox lost a doubleheader to the Tigers—what
new there?—by scores of 10-3 and 3-1.
Somebody who spent $1.80 on that ticket for Box 69/Tier 1/Seat 4 got to
see the Tigers’ Pinky Higgins have himself a very nice day with four hits, four
runs scored and three runs batted in.
All
of which is to say the Sox announced Friday they will no longer issue
traditional tickets to season-ticket holders; people will either have to print
out the ticket themselves or use a smartphone to be scanned in. Anyone wanting tickets the old-fashioned way
can do so for an extra $20.
This is the beginning
of the end.
