At this point I don't see me renewing our ticket package. It's only a 10 game package but that was 3 or 4 more games a year than we used to go to.

 

My trust in this organization is just about gone. They tried but then just gave up. After I had paid my money in advance they just gave up on this season, and basically gave us the 1 finger salute. I'm not sure I trust they know what they are doing to invest more money in them next year. At least at this point.

I might if I can afford it. Baseball games are great fun.

If the FO doesn't invest money in the team then I see no reason to either...

I'd love to have season tickets. Absolutely love it.

Even if we had a 140 loss season I'd still wanna go.

Likewise.

Same here, nothing is more fun than being at a Marlins home game.

Well.. a home winning game is better than a home losing game.

 

But I agree, as with the Panthers, I'll watch a loser team just as much as I'll watch a winner team so long as the money is there.

 

Dolphins? No. Heat? I'd probably go to more loser season games because I can afford them.

I have a 20 game pack but I will be living in New York next season so I dont really have a choice.

I have a full season plan but will not renew the same plan. I may get a 20 game plan (or something similar in terms of number of games) but get better seats.

Nope. But for totally different reasons than already stated here. Not even a partial plan. Just buy at the box office or on StubHub when we want to go.

it seems the OP is one of those "casual fans"

Actually, the front office did not "give up". They saw what they had would not work, and started adjusting accordingly. Good for them. Bringing back the exact same team next year is not an option.

It depends on what the FO does in the off season. If they make a great effort to improve the team like they did last winter, I will renew. If they make only relatively minor improvements, I won't. Simple as that.

If the FO signs stanton long term and fills in CF/3B holes, I'll be back. Otherwise f*** em.

I'm with Bob on this one, I don't see the point of renewing my package when I can get better seats at a discounted price. The only down side I could possibly see is not being first in line for playoff tickets, which I think we all see isn't really an issue.

Stop being dramatic.

You mean you won't be a better fan than us next year?!

I haven't even been to the new stadium yet.

Well, I also think it has something to do with him living like 2 hours from the park.

 

 

In my case, I'll probably be downgrading, but it depends on the off season.

I picked up two tickets on stub hub for 60 last night (For the 8/15 PHI game) and sat 6 rows up in section 10 by home plate.

 

Definatly seats can be had cheaper, but the trick is to support the team with season ticket sales WHEN it is convienent. No point in over extending your budget. I got season seats in 324 this year, but upgraded my opening day tickets to section 7 and just moved around the other games. They weren't exactly strict if you werent greedy on where you moved to, they partially encouraged it. I moved from section 324 to right on the LF line one game (Pirates). You can also go to guest services and pay for ticket upgrades, which I've done twice as well.

 

Stub hub is an excellent resourse, expecially for early day games and weekday games.

 

I took pride in buying season seats, and face it- that stadium is beautiful. Any seat in there is worth going for.

i'm saving right now to buy my first ever season ticket plan... eventhough it is completely impractical for me.

Actually, I've always said I don't know how you judge someone's "fandom." It's just the small minded posters that inhabit these boards that turned that around.

 

But, whatever.....

That really has very little to do with it because I give alot of tix away to my regular customer base. Instead, it's something that has been building up for the last couple years. Besides the potential problem of obtaining tix for the play offs (and ASG and it's festivities in the near future), dropping the season tix and just buying when we want to go seems the best solution for us.

It's never been a secret that they base the payroll ALOT on how season tickets go. They can make educated guesses on other income off that. Food, parking, etc..... "Money coming in will equal money going out." They live by that, and I think it is a smart move. It's a biz.

 

You can tell just from this thread that what I have been saying all year is probably going to happen. Season ticket sales will drop quite a bit next year. This year's team not panning out will have something to do with it, but it was inevitable for many other reasons. I don't see the payroll ever dropping to what it has been in the past, but I think it will be quite some time before it reaches what it was Opening Day this year. I hope they surprise me.
