marlinsmaniac Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Well I totally expect that. I don’t see our average being more than 10k per game cause more than half these crowds have been cubs/Red Sox fans. I know because I went to both series and it was out of hand lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Blue Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Minor league teams will do better in attendance and deservedly so since some minor league teams could beat this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CYmarlins Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 sport guy ch 4 say sunday attendance was lowest their seen few year aqt marlins park 10.000 was at that same I don't buy that. This year the Marlins are reporting actual attendance instead of tickets sold. Which I always thought they should have done. I have seen less than that before.

Ocean Blue Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Yeah they are announcing real attendance now, Loria regime fudged the numbers. It leads to the news reporting it this way, instead of being honest though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SongInTheAir Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 People in Miami will only go to Marlins game when the Marlins are "cool" or "hip" or "the talk of the town." All these whippersnappers in Miami are making it cool to hate on the Marlins so of course no one is going to the game. It wouldn't be "cool" or "lit" when you can go see the "Miami Heats" a few blocks away. Language in this post provided by me being, apparently, 65 years old.

el_gmac Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 of course is low, did they expect me to pay $35 for a HR porch seat? faq dat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTrain Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 It is very true that attendance was not good last year with Stanton chasing 60 HR’s It is also true that even playing the Cubs, there were substantially less people in the ballpark for Opening Day this year as opposed to 2017.

fish20 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 of course is low, did they expect me to pay $35 for a HR porch seat? faq dat hr porch seats are $12. this is the same price that the "fish tank" was years ago in the old stadium. the stadium tickets themselves are very affordable.

Entendu Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I love how they price games with certain teams higher, as if the draw at Marlins Park isn't supposed to be the Marlins.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hovertical Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 sitting and staring at the roaches crawling out of a pile of trash is more entertaining than the product on the field at this point so numbers are going to be historically low for an MLB team this season. I don't blame the fans one bit either. It's a waste of money to go. I don't live in Florida any more but I made the choice to not renew my Extra Innings package with my cable provider this year for the first time in forever. I'll resort to being a boxscore follower for MLB. Sadly, the only sport left that I'll watch now is hockey (Goodell tanked the NFL experience for me too).

Entendu Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Pretty sure most teams have dynamic pricing these days based on opponent and day of week. I understand pricing by day of week, but I'm against pricing by opponent. I understand it's based on the demand, but for the Marlins it invites crowds less favorable to the home team because it's the only opportunity Red Sox/Cubs/etc. fans have to see their team, but just another (more expensive) game for Marlins fans. We might as well start selling opposing team merch at our ballpark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rydawg Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 They really need to have tickets for $10 or less in some part of the ballpark no matter who the opponent is. I think casual fans would show more resistance to ticket prices than concessions. It might take a bit of convincing to get people to come out to watch the Marlins pay at all, but if you can creative incentive with low ticket prices, fans would cave and buy overpriced concessions while already in the stadium. I believe the Angels do something like this, but it makes even more sense for a team like the Marlins, which struggles to be competitive and has a troubled history with fan loyalty. I think that if Jeter were savvy, he'd make the Marlins an affordable form of entertainment while the team is shitty and has zero marketable stars. This would build some fan interest. And if he has confidence in his rebuilding plan, it would pay off tremendously if the team actually starts to be decent a few years from now. Let's face it. The product on the field right now is not at all fun to watch. TBH The Cubs and Sox series were fairly entertaining. However, I don't disagree with you. I think it will be a shit show going forward. We started to see that with the first game against the Phillies on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
