The Chicago White Sox are cutting season-ticket prices for 2025 by an average of 10%, as the team struggles through one of the worst seasons in baseball history, senior vice president Brooks Boyer announced on Wednesday.
Before their Wednesday game against the New York Yankees, the White Sox had a record of 22-92 and were on track for the second-worst winning percentage (.240) of the modern era. The worst record is held by the 1916 Philadelphia Athletics (.235), who finished 36-117.
“We understand where all the ticket prices are — whether it’s season-ticket prices, secondary market,” said Boyer, the team’s chief revenue and marketing officer. “After looking at that, understanding where we are organizationally, we thought it was important that it’s something that we do for our season ticketholders who have been very loyal to us.”
The White Sox fired manager Pedro Grifol last week after his second season as a major league manager, ending his tenure with an 89-190 record.
They made the change two days after a win over the Oakland Athletics, which ended a 21-game losing streak that tied an American League record. The White Sox also had a 14-game losing streak from May 22 to June 6, setting a team record that was broken only by the losing streak after the All-Star break.
Last season, Chicago finished with a 61-101 record, which was their worst since going 56-106 in 1970.
