Folks I spoke to said the Thome game worn jerseys were $1000. Local Chicago paper today reported all three game used Griffey's offered at $2500 each were sold.

Re: SoxFest 2009! Who's going?

Re: SoxFest 2009! Who's going?

$800 for booze over two nights? Who the hell are you, Nick Nolte?

Wine/Drinks/Beer etc at ht e palmer House. Anywere from $6.00 to $11.00 EA. Multiply that times four people. It gets up there. The food at the palmer house is pricey as well.

I guess if it was just one person for the whole weekend it would be less.

Re: SoxFest 2009! Who's going?

I will be there all weekend. I use this as my own staycation.

Re: SoxFest 2009! Who's going?

Correct! Not going this year. With this economy I can't risk it. If you do the weekend package plan on spnding $1000 just on the room and Soxfest. Then add %500 for boose, $1000 for game used, $300 for drinks with the players. Etc, It gets pricy!
