As I understand it, the loyalty part will be less influential over time. In the beginning, it will mean a lot but if someone is giving more over a given number of years, he will be rewarded with better seat options. So the time factor works both ways. Helps the folks who have been loyal over the years, and helps the "newer" fan who gives more over a number of years. I don't know that number, so don't ask.
I think what really chaps average long time Joe fan for example was the baseball supers 2 years ago. Deep pocket band wagon fan shows up and writes a fat check and bumps average Joe in priority for that series.
I think most understand seating changes may take place. It's the cenario above that angers folks and needs to be clearly addressed. It may not be in a form everyone likes, but it has to be set in stone with no wiggle room to work.
And a suggestion Mr. Harris if you're reading this. I have a couple that sits near us at the Dome. They have been season ticket holders for about 50 years. If an individual purchases tickets continuously for fifty years in a sport, year 50 deserves recognition at least, and maybe even free tickets that year. God bless 'em, they've seen the good, the bad and the ugly.
Wow 50 years. That should bring some kind of recognition. They should have a plaque on the wall or on their seats.Quote:

Yup. The gentleman told me last year he got season tickets when he got out of USL in '65. They moved their seats to the aisle this year, easier access. I'm sure there are some others out there, and God bless 'em. Frenchie has to be well up there time wise with his tickets.Quote:

Should have kept my mouth shut and let it fall where it may. Giving your opinion is not a good thing on here. Sorry CrazyCajun.....
Giving your opinion is the only thing on here. Don't worry about what Crazy said. You're both right... it's just a balancing act for our admin to figure out.Quote:

Something like if you have had season tickets continuously for 30+ years, you can keep them forever if you choose, no strings attached.
After that, some sort of sliding scale would be useful depending if your a 25+ guy, a 20 guy, a 15+ guy, etc. At some point what you give will be able to be matched by someone else, and they can have your seats.
Directly from Harris: Every season ticket holder will have the opportunity to keep their seats.
Also - loyalty counts. It will cost the long-time season ticket holder less to keep his/her seats than it would for a new purchaser to come in and purchase them in the event the long-time holder declines.
I was thinking this exact same thing! Frenchie, you will be taken care of and so will your friends!Quote:
