As the hardreading safe has noted many times, the Boston Herald is routinely overlooked as an advertising vehicle by local institutions ranging from General Electric to Verizon to AJC Boston to CVS.
But . . .
The new ad campaign for Red Sox ticket sales is totally bi-paper-san.
From Saturday’s Boston Globe.
From Saturday’s Herald.
Some context here, from Ricky Doyle’s NESN profile of Rafael Devers in August:
“In my neighborhood, when I played vitilla (baseball with bottle caps), there was always this guy who would say, ‘Look at this one with that fresh face,’ and from then on I was ‘Carita.’ ”
Carita. Or Baby Face. Hmm… we’ll see if it sticks.
Clearly, it did.
Back to the Sox ads. Both local dailies ran this one yesterday.
No explanation need for that, right?
But maybe an explanation for the ad campaign itself is in order.
Red Sox ticket sales were off last year (2,917,678) from 2016 (2,955,434) according to Baseball Reference.
Regardless, here’s what ticket buyers can expect for next year, via Nik DeCosta-Klipa at Boston.com.
The team announced Wednesday that [2018] (ticket prices at Fenway Park will increase by an average of 2.5 percent. Similar to last year, this means ticket prices are going up $1 to $5 for many of the seats closer to the field, as well as the bleachers.
Red Sox to fans: Read it and keep (paying more).
Let’s see how many of them vamos next season.
