Ticketing
I have one pet peeve about the Indians ticketing policy: why doesn't single game seats go on sale earlier? I would have loved to purchase a few for friends for Christmas, but they only had season tickets, 20 game packages, and the 6 games packages on sale now. Single game tickets do not go on sale until March. I would have loved to purchase a 6 game pack, but they didn't have a lower reserved package. The best they had was upper box, and to be frank, those tickets are not that good. It reminds me of the days I used to sit with my Grandfather in the 90s up in the upper box on the third base side. Honestly, though, just because the Tribe made the playoffs does not mean tickets are going to automatically sell out like they did in the 90s. Would be nice, yes, but I think the Tribe would make a lot more money if they put single game tickets out there earlier. They would get a lot more people willing to purchase better seats for a higher cost. By not packaging it up, they'd be making more money that way. But what do I know: I'm just an angry fan who was unable to get tickets single game tickets for my Grandfather for Christmas. I guess I'll just need to wait until March.
They sell the 20 & 6 game tickets packages first to be sure they have enough seats together for those customer. Then the single game tickets are available after giving ample time for the people interested in multi-game packs.
If they sold single game seats at the same time they would probably end up with broken up rows, then wouldn't have the seats together to accomodate the multi-game customers.
It would seem that they could do both at the same time by making certain rows in each section available for each type of customer.
