Changes Coming to Young Ragin Cajuns Club

[RaginScotsman]

Still worth it to me, will just be four extra FB digital tickets to hand off to a friend/extended relative.
.

Had 2 YRCC passes for a couple of years really just for baseball, softball and basketball. We already had season tickets for the kids in football.

The voucher limit is actually way more than we ever used in the past. That's us, though. Unlimited had a good ring to it and I'm sure people used it in place for some season tickets. At least GA tickets.

I can tell you me and the wife had a serious discussion about this upcoming season being our last one buying season tickets and donating to RCAF. I have been a season ticket holder and donor since I graduated in 2012. I have had to travel 2-4 hours to Lafayette for every home game since 2014. Doing that with children, animals, and pregnant wife. But it just keeps getting more difficult to financially support an organization that continually is trying to price out the life blood of this fan base. Do we have such a demand that this change was needed? We all know the answer to that. What was once a lively Cajun Field, even in the lean years, is becoming a barren wasteland. Expect even more as you push out families. I’ll pick and choose the games I attend and the rest I’ll enjoy from the comfort of my home where I don’t miss a quarter of the game waiting for a water bottle that may all be out by halftime.

I am verys similar to you. Been season ticket holder, Rcaf, two tailgate spots since graduating in 2014. Currently have a 2 year old who was going to use YRC card for all football games and a another baby coming in June. Not sure I can justify all that while living two hours away and now under contract for a house that is a good bit more than current mortgage.

It’s my understanding the family five packs are going away.

I sure hope not. I have been buying the family 5 pack for 6 years now and wanted to continue to be a season ticket holder.

I foresee more admin blaming the fans and community for not showing up. I wouldn't mind being priced out if the stands were full for all sports, but they aren't.

We have also discussed not renewing but it looks like we will hang in at least one more year.

We are priced out of our seats and my couch is much better seating than the east side.

Our older fans have kept this program afloat for a long time now. It just takes one look around at our sporting events (particularly football and basketball) to realize we have an age problem. The younger generations are heavily underrepresented. Some of this is societal trends. Less interest in sports for some. Travel ball occupying the majority of free time for others who still have an interest in sports. A big piece though is a failure to connect by the university to several decades worth of graduates and shoulda, coulda, woulda been supporters. That failure has been on display the last 10 years or so more than ever. The basic costs of attendance have risen while the atmosphere, concessions, and overall experience have tanked in quality. What’s one more straw on the camel’s back though, right?

I could be totally wrong but did you buy them last year? I didnt see that as an option when I was looking to renew my football tickets. I had been buying the family 5 pack since at least 2010 or so.

[CajunRebel]

I just wish they’d up the price of the YRCC membership and keep the same benefits. Even doubling the price would still be a good value for families who attend a lot of games.

If I have to buy a season ticket so my kids can go to all the games, what is the point of even getting YRCC?

[jaxmc1023]

Absolutely amazing. Attendance is struggling across the board -- even in the vaunted diamond sports we're drawing 100s and not 1000s of actual butts in seats -- and these morons decide to axe several more ways for fans to save money.

Kids club - gone
Family 5 pack - gone
$2 nattys - gone

At this point I hope these geniuses end up selling 20% of capacity in season tickets across all sports, and those fans are smart enough to just split them with friends and family

Yes they were available last year. I Bought a family 5 pack. They put all the family 5 pack season tickets on east side closer to the visiting section near the hill. It was and always has been a great family deal.

I am curious where they will put the family 5 packs this year. Only difference in 2024 was they assigned your seats randomly instead in the past we could pick in section A or G

Either way. It’s not like we sell out games so if wanted to we just moved around and Sat where we wanted
