Day Part of Day-Night Doubleheader: Tigers at White Sox

The White Sox scheduled a day-night doubleheader yesterday in order to makeup the Tigers and White Sox that was postponed on Wednesday, May 6.

Obtaining Tickets
I bought a ticket from the May 6 game for $10 outside of U.S. Cellular Field. Since the ticket was a “season ticket,” the face value price was $32 but would have cost me $38 at the ticket window.

Note: If you are planning to buy tickets from a scalper for a makeup game, be sure you know the date of the original game that was supposed to be played. Generally the tickets from the postponed game will be valid for the makeup game and you do not want to end up buying a ticket from the wrong day.

The Game
One thing I rarely do at games (because I normally do not walk by the stand) is sign up for the designated driver program. By doing so, you receive a free soda from any concession stand. If you are looking to save a little money at the park, I recommend signing up (if you can find it).

Even though the White Sox managed to tie the game in the bottom of the 8th at 4 runs apiece, the Tigers scored the winning run in the top of the 9th inning. The game ended around 4 pm. If the game had gone to extra innings, I had considered waiting for the night game of the doubleheader. However, with a three hour wait in between games, I chose to go home for the evening.
