Young Ragin Cajun - Select Baseball and Softball Games

[GreatestStory]

If the powers to be who made this new rule say we have room for kids for half the season on certain dates, how can that be just for those dates? Where did this new room come from and why not the whole season?

Oh well just asking.

By looking at the dates selected for YRCC games, it appears they selected dates which they are absolutely positive extra seats will be available. These dates are Sunday & weekday games which are not against high profile opponents. I assume they are hoping for a few games to potentially sell out and on those days kids tickets are not made available.

When parents have reserved seating, and YRCC tickets are in random areas, it is hard to put the whole family together when the park is packed. It's a change from the norm, but they are just looking out for issues that may arise in the case we are packing the stadium.

This is just my personal opinion. I have not spoken to anyone in the athletic department or box office.

Yeah, I completely understand limiting YRCC to games that aren’t expected to sell out, and I even understand limiting where a kid can sit, but they seem to be limiting it far beyond that point. I don’t get it either. It makes no sense.

Also, did they inform people about this change before they bought their passes or after? If it was after, people have every right to be ____ed off for having the rug pulled out from under them.

[CajunRebel]

I believe you are correct. I understand getting young children to games to expose them to Ragin Cajuns Sports. But I also understand the need to increase revenue for these sports because athletes are wanting more now than just the basics. The model has changed now, and I hope fans, both casual and diehards understand this fact.

I’m not convinced that limiting the YRCC will actually increase revenue. It doubles the price of admission for a family of 4 which means families might choose to go less often.

My experience is that the kids will buy more from the concession stand than you could possibly charge for their ticket. That being said, Russo Park can't become Chucky Cheese. I think identifying games where YRCC members are welcome is a fair way to handle it. There is no grassy hill at baseball games.

I just want the Fan Friendly Concession prices back! Specifically the draft and can beer!

Someone previously posted this was the policy last season as well. So, may not be a change at all.

Also, the announcement says ‘As a reminder’, that implies it was communicated before.

We had a corona policy in effect last year. Last year they did not honor any of the YRCC and also did not honor any of the premium seating with full capacity for the patio suites. So no it was not an implemented normal policy or warning that this was coming.

The people I have talked to that have YRCC did NOT receive any emails at all about this until 2 days ago.

When we renewed our YRCC, my wife was told about the baseball and softball scheduling plan. IIRC, football and basketball did not have a restriction. It’s obviously a function of trying to sell seats in a smaller venue.
