Late last year, the White Sox revealed a new name, format, and location for their once-annual fan convention. Touted now as “SoxFest Live,” the gathering will take place on Friday and Saturday, January 24-25 at the Ramova Theatre in Bridgeport. The event is scheduled to run from 5-9 p.m. CT on both evenings, with an hour-long after-party planned as well.
General admission tickets for Friday and Saturday are listed for $56, with a premium package labeled as the MVP Experience priced at $225. The upgrade buys fans early entry to view the White Sox Black Carpet welcoming attendees ahead of the event, access to a premium lounge area, photo opportunities, a private meet and greet session, light appetizers, and four lower-level tickets to a select 2025 White Sox home game.
Once the main event concludes, there will be also a SoxFest Live After Party immediately following the show on both days. The hour-long reception is available as an add-on to the above packages and will include food and drinks, activities, and games alongside White Sox VIPs.
The team said in their most recent press release that details surrounding the live program schedule, including special guest appearances, music performances, and spotlighted conversations, will be shared in the coming weeks. Until then, follow us on social media @SoxOn35th for more White Sox news, rumors, and updates!
