Jerry Remy’s Sport Bar is Selling $500 Personal Seat Licenses

I will be the first one to bash you Jerry…..

But this was a good blog. Good Work.

Hogan vs. Warrior? I’ve got Hogan all day and into the evening.

It’s true that Jerry is the best damn sportswriter in Boston. Brillitantly weaving Steinbeck and the Simpsons into the same rant, additionally coloring his text with great adjectives like “Madoffish” and “chemotherapied”.

I read this three times. Keep that shit coming.

Brilliant.

jerry, would you compare this to a man trying to break into the dying broadcast radio industry?

I hate what the Red Sox brand has become. It is pathetic. It makes sense why teams hate us for more then just winning.

Before you see a pitch you need to buy beach towel, have some retired retard take your pic of you and your buddies, and wait for some “ambassador” to say it is safe to move to your seat.

I pray Copperfields never changes. That is the last real spot left…

Good call Ciggs, good call.

The older you get, the more corporate they get. Dont forget the texting to security for foul language. Kids are going to be such pussies in the future. Old School fenway was some shit. I learned how to drink, fight, swear and spit, all at the age of 9.

That happened to me last season. Someone complained I was standing too much. Sorry for cheering good plays.

its a $25 “food” credit, no beer. $25 is two sandwiches there. The place will be packed anyways, they just made $500 extra on whoever buys this.

$500 per year gets you $25 free food and probably a $5 beer every visit.
Do the math.
It only takes 17 visits and it pays for itself.

Doh, didn’t finish reading the blog…

So I walk over to Game On and slip the door guy a $20 and boom, no waiting in line.

By my estimate, that equals 25 times of boozing before games if I want to be packed in like a sardine. No thanks,

You really aren’t that business savvy if you don’t think Remy is going to sell out these season passes. Obviously he’s not going for the fucking family that saves up pennies to go sit in the bleachers once a year. He’s aiming for the pink-hatters who sit behind home plate and need someplace to “wait for the rush to pass” and stroll into the game in the 4th inning, with their glass of reisling and a stack of business cards. You’re living in the past if you think there aren’t enough of those fucking Norman’s at Sox games to fill Remy’s bar twice over.

Ciggs has it right. Copperfields is the only real place left.

He got bashed on the FB page for the bar and later yesterday afternoon posted that the season passes were geared towards the “corporate” types. It’s kind of sad you have to pay 500 for a view of Van Ness st.

Whether it’s 17 or 20 visits before you recoup the $500 fee, that’s a lot of visits to a bar in the Fenway area. You pretty much have to be a season ticket holder, and there’s 20,000 of them, so the market’s definitely big enough. But I live in the Fenway area, and outside of the Winter Classic, USA vs Canada Olympic Hockey, and a big Celtics playoff game, it’s pretty dead over here between November and March. That being said, the place looks legit on the inside and I saw about 200 girls out front last week for ‘training,’ which doesn’t suck. It looked like some type of waitress Jihad on Boylston St.

I dont know…if I lived real close to the bar I would think this one is a no brainer. You get out of work, get to eat dinner and watch the Sox game every 150 times a year.

How is this not brilliant? And if you work or live near the park and dont do it then you might want to rethink things.

Plus you get to be a regular at a bar outside Fenway that can only lead to bathroom handjobs from the waitresses

If the food isn’t any better than at his rat’s nest in Terminal C at Logan then they should include a free roll of Cottonelle Ultra with every visit as well.

“have a guaranteed table (once the game starts)”
You don’t even get a table before the game?? Who cares about having a table once the game starts, for $500 I want the table before the game while everyone else is standing around and one of those cute new waitresses under it.

It sounded kinda like a mug club kinda thing, but for corpo types. Not for me, but no problem with it. But where is Remy’s located? (What did the place used to be?) Anyone know?
