The Chicago White Sox play their home games at U.S. Cellular Field on the South Side of Chicago. Tickets for many games are fairly easy to acquire as the stadium sells out infrequently. As the White Sox stumbled to a 79-83 record in 2009, they ranked 16th in the majors in attendance, averaging 28,199, well short of capacity.http://espn.go.com/mlb/attendance/_/year/2009 When the team plays well, of course, tickets can be harder to come by. The 2006 squad, who finished 90-72 coming off a World Series win, drew a club-record 36,511 per game.http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CHW/attend.shtml

Games against out-of-division teams like the Texas Rangers and Oakland Athletics rarely sell out. Fans are likely to have more difficulty finding tickets for games against teams like the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox and crosstown rival Cubs. Divisional games against the Cleveland Indians, Minnesota Twins and Detroit Tigers also tend to be in more demand.

The White Sox use Ticketmaster as their official ticket outlet. Tickets are available at ticketmaster.com or by calling the team's box office directly at 866-SOX-GAME (769-4263).http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/cws/ticketing/box_office_info.jsp To see a schedule with links to Ticketmaster, go to http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/schedule/index.jsp?c_id=cws&m=4&y=2010.

Ticket prices range from $10 for an upper-level seat to $100 for a lower box or Premium LG Skyline club level seating.http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0400439CD1F751C2 The White Sox also offer 13-game "Ozzie Plans," in reference to manager Ozzie Guillen's number.http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/cws/ticketing/ticket_plans.jsp?loc=ozzie Various types of season ticket or split-season plans are also available.http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/cws/ticketing/ticket_plans.jsp?loc=deposits

The best place to find tickets for sold-out White Sox games is stubhub.com. Fans with season tickets or other ticket-holders sometimes re-sell on Stub Hub, often for a substantial markup on face value. For some low-demand games, tickets are actually cheaper on Stub Hub than on Ticketmaster since season ticket-holders just want to get something out of tickets for games they will not attend. White Sox-Cubs games tend to have particularly exorbitant price hikes on Stub Hub, often exceeding $600 for premium seating.

White Sox tickets are also sometimes available on ebay.com and craigslist.com, though again, prices tend to be raised significantly. Fans can also buy tickets from scalpers outside the stadium, but selling too near the stadium without a permit is illegal and some fans have been tricked into buying fake tickets.http://www.cato.org/pubs/journal/cj15n1-4.html

Parking near the stadium for White Sox games can be somewhat difficult. A single parking pass for a single game in an official lot costs $23.http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/cws/ballpark/driving_directions.jsp But many tickets include a parking pass, especially those sold on Stub Hub. Another option is the CTA Red Line elevated train, which stops at a station one block from the stadium.http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/cws/ballpark/public_trans.jsp
