Aw Fanfest next spring?

[jdodd]

Any updates on AW Fanfest 2017?

[Brandon]

this year is almost up.

i believe they do the get together in the summer.....usually it's been july/august

[Chuck]

I think @jdodd is referring to the Spring Fanfest in Tempe. 

We should be deciding on a date sometime next week. The rest of the details are forthcoming.

You should. 

Rumor has it, we're going to go back to a smaller scale event, but still packed with entertainment and surprises from the FO and players. 

Also, some of us will be renting houses with pools this time out, instead of hotel rooms. Party in the desert, AW style.

Thanks Chuck, Looks like i will buy tickets for 2 weekend's and hope it works.

Just looking at the schedule, I think March 3rd-6th is going to be the weekend.

Cool!

McDowell Mountain Music festival is in Phoenix March 3-5. I'm hoping to be in town for that, and take in some ST games too. Would be great if the Fanfest was also the same weekend. Lots to do!

I'm out.

[Champions2002]

That weekend is to early for me I'm out

[Troll Daddy]

I'm out

[Tank]

march 3-6 is too early for me, too.

[disarcina]

March 3-6 too early for me.

other options March 10-12 --

or March 17-19 - I am usually there for St. Pat's Day and March Madness -- but that's prime time of prime time for ST and prices way up.

Folks planning a short term house rental approach would probably save some money and have a better time.

 

[disarcina]

did not have AW Fan Fest in ST last year and not sure how many folks here went to ST last year.

But for those who did not -- be prepared for added expense in 2017...........did anyone else who went last year think that prices overall and everywhere (for everything) were WAY UP?

MLB commissioner's office actually had to warn/ advise the MLB teams that if they were going to charge regular season (or higher) prices for ST games, they'd better start playing MLB players and regular season starting line ups for at least three innings........the days of low ticket prices and prime seating are gone.  The increased cost was really noticeable last year.

[Champions2002]

Angels did double or just about double the prices in the tickets and became one the most expensive tickets in the Cactus League the most difficult and expensive is Scottsdale where the Giants play if you want any decent seat there you have to buy it from the second hand market 

[Champions2002]

The good news is if you go to see the Angels on away games ticket prices are half of Tempe's prices at least in 2016 we will see what the 2017 prices are

[Troll Daddy]

New numbers for these players

Anyhow, we will decide on a date sometime this week and get things in motions.
