Anybody notice they are doubling TG1 from 500 to 1000 per spot and now charging 200 for parking pass?
Am I seeing things?

Seriously how hard is it to create a square for organic tailgating?
Man they are dumb!

If this is true 100% UL is trying to kill off athletics.
This! And open up the parking lot and Make Cajun Field a Party Again! This will lead to higher attendance and $$$ spent inside the venue.Quote:

I just left there. The way he explained it to me is that the 1,000 is the minimum champion (old donors number) you have to be at. So if you buy tickets, the donation amount is but in you champions bucket. If throughout the year you buy or donate to RCAF the total amount has to be 1,000. Your spot is now only $200 instead of $500 unless you don't meet the $1,000, you then have to match the difference.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:

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).
Wait they moved my TG3 spot to be single tailgate spot now? Wtf. I absolutely loved my spot, not sure I renew now
