This is the exact conversation I had yesterday with the RCAF. All of his answers concerning growth, community outreach, and student engagement (harassment) will improve due to actually having a full staff. I also mentioned you can't increase prices when you have less attendance across the board.Quote:

Looks like they are going up on baseball ticket prices as well. At least there's not another pointless re-seating on the horizon - and at least we have a product on the field that is worthy.
The approach has changed. Generational giving has been greatly discounted. It’s now what you give this year.
Just so I understand correctly -- the selling point here is that they're charging you more to tailgate for football, but it works out to be a decent deal IF you also buy tickets for other sports?
You have to donate to RCAF to get a spot, I think currently it's only $100. If you buy season tickets, let's assume 4 and it's the $75 "champion fund", that buts you at $400 in giving. Assuming you don't purchase any additional tickets or other fundraising opportunities, your spot would go up to $600 instead of $500. If you purchase baseball tickets or any other support, your spot price would potentially go down. The new system encourages support for multiple athletic events.Quote:

For the last 20+ years, I have had 2 chairback seats on the 50 about 20 rows up, and I have had a Tailtgate spot that came with 2 parking passes.
I intend to get 2 season tickets this year wherever they decide I should be, and I am already paying 69$/month right now for the RCAF.
Can anyone decipher exactly what they will charge me for Tailgating?
Gotta be an April Fools jokeQuote:

A better way to look at this is that they are penalizing those people who can only afford to go to FB games and they are discouraging Tailgating.Quote:

The following scenarios do not factor in having season tickets for other sports or any existing direct donations to RCAF.
Scenario 1: You sit in red section, have 4 football season tickets. This means you have $500 in the RCAF champion fund. You now have access to buy a tailgating spot in TG3 or TG4 for $200. Total cost (including season tickets) if you want to tailgate: $1,200
Scenario 2: You sit in orange section, have 4 football season tickets. This means you have $300 in the RCAF champion fund. You now have access to buy a tailgating spot in TG4. Total cost (including season tickets) if you want to tailgate: $1,000
Scenario 3: You sit in blue section, have 4 football season tickets. This means you have $0 in the RCAF champion fund. You have to donate separately to RCAF $250 AND buy a spot at $200. Total cost (including season tickets) if you want to tailgate: $950
Hopefully 1. they have a good outbound sales team; 2. single game TG spots are reasonably priced, otherwise we'll probably have another scarce TG scene again.
May sound like pessimism, but I think I'm being a realist.
So where does the $200 per pass come into this? All previous seasons we got two passes included in our TG1 fee, $500 for TG1 spot, and $500 to RCAF required ($1000 total).
