Yay same price

and yet, CheapJeter still won't give me tickets for the Marlins @ Dodgers games. GenerousSamson was much better about it ?

Raising prices after another 100 loss season would have looked sooooo bad. Glad they didn't do it but it was almost a no brainer. At least they show they're not stupid enough to do so.

 

With that said my next thought is that this probably means there will be increases whenever they actually get really good which sucks but I guess it's inevitable.

 

As for rewards I want them to team up with this forum and I want points every time I post here.

Well done.

they don't spend money how do they expect to raised tix pricing ?

Well done.

are you coming for opening day then ?

They aren't raising prices.

 

Did you read the thread?

 

Also, they've spent money. More than they subtracted from last year's payroll too.

 

Are you not paying attention?

Cheap Jeter only didn't raise ticket prices because he would have to pay a few employees to formulate and finalize the new pricing and he was too cheap to do that. Don't be fooled, that's the real reason why prices didn't go up.

I'm not live in the Miami so I don't know the people there like this team more or not after this off-season.

Marlins Chief Revenue Officer Adam Jones said. “We have to clear up the misconception of cost of attendance, which has been affordable..."

 

People still think Marlins tickets are expensive?

 

Also Jones said parking is down five bucks on weekends and if you buy in advance: “There was a growing inconsistency in $10 tickets and $25 to park,” Jones said. “We needed to bring them closer in alignment."

 

Sounds like fans complained that tickets were cheaper but parking was still ridiculous. Apparently it's now $15 in advance and $20 at the gate.

Also Jones made a comment that off-field business has been moving forward but that it's still not at the level that they expected... that made me wonder if that's related to Chip Bowers being let go.

I said last year that the parking fees were an issue, ticket prices are fine. Good to see they are addressing the parking.

Yeah, I would watching the game of the opening day on TV …

The ticket price for $10 in the MLB game was really surprised low to me, it's just in the same price range as the professional baseball game in Taiwan but you know the difference of the level between them. I'm wonder the super low ticket price was only in the Miami or was common in the small market teams ? I just don't expect to see this low ticket price in the New York or LA.

Glad to see they lowered the parking price. Though they make back that $5 in their bogus "transaction fees" and "convenience fees" that they tack on. Why can't they just make it the same price in advance or day of?

 

Also, still isn't the $10 I can park for in the lot a block away.

Off field meaning partnerships and whatnot?

I'm perfectly ok with them making it lower in advance, reward people who are smart about it and make a few extra bucks from the people who don't plan ahead.

Also, this is the first I've ever heard of this Home Run Rewards thing - they had this last year?

That's how I interpreted it but I could be wrong, it wasn't concrete. He was definitely not talking about the on field stuff.

It's been an exclusive rewards system for season ticket holders, this is the first year they've opened it up to everyone else. It's a neat idea but it's probably ultimately a way to sneak people into season ticket holder type rewards and probably hoping that they eventually just convert to an actual STH.

Regarding the rewards ...

I wonder what initiatives they're trying to go after that they're not getting.

Ah, I misread it. I thought I read they had it for everyone before, not just Marlins Members/season ticket holders.

 

I think it's nice they'll extend it to everyone. Though, I'm assuming you'll have to buy through the team to get them? i.e., not on Stubhub?

It's not just buying tickets though. I think you get like a rewards card that gets scanned or something like that.
