C.Taylor Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 A few years ago gasoline was $2.00 a gallon. Go to the gas station and ask for the prices from 2005. Then they don't give it to you complain and call them every couple of days. See if that works................. Relevant, as ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your recent posts have tended towards the obnoxious. Why don't you dial it back a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you dial it back a little bit. What's obnoxious about my posts? If you rather call the TO over and over to inquire about upgrades go ahead. I am just voicing my opinion that I think it would do more harm than good. But you guys have been around longer than me so what do I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins-Canes-Mounties Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I called the T/O in April, and they told me that tickets would be upgraded in mid-May. Last week on Thursday, I got an email advising me that lower loever, non-obstructed 100s and 200s were available for upgrade and I should call immediately. Of course, I called, and I asked if it would be a problem because I have 3 tickets - would there be a problem placing me? The guy told me that these beign offered were all groups of three. I moved from 450, row 10 to 132, Row 19. This is only my third season as a ticket holder. I've gotta say to all you guys that are on the list - get 3 tickets when your number is called. The strange number is difficult to place, so you will move up FAST. By comparison, a friend of mine's brother that got 2 tickets the same year I did is about 4 rows in front of the 'D' in fedex at the very top of the stadium. I moved 1 section closer the the 50 and down 5 last year, and this year, I made the jump to the lowers. Should be a great year! Can't wait to work my way to mid-field!

MoeRedskins Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 If you were around a few years ago, you would know that there was an upgrade frenzy by people calling the T.O. - not the T.O. calling them. You would also realize that, over the years, the sqeaky wheel theory seems to be more successful than the "Don't PO the TO" theory.I would keep making obnoxious, uninformative posts. I'm sure everyone else on the board would love that. So is that theory working for you this year, calling the TO and asking for seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnj1125 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I don't know if our letter requesting an upgrade in our seats that we sent to them helped or not but....on 5/1, we got an email from the ticket office offering upgrades to LL seats. We called and asked what strings were attached. There were none. So, we got upgraded from Sec 424 to Sec 134, Row 5!! They said they only emailed about 60 season ticket holders that day. They went fast as we were offered better sections but I had to check with the significant other first. I should have just said done deal...but I'll take 134!

Yeah, I think that after the T.O does the annual renewals, they are stuck with several empty groups of three. I'm sure there are very few single ticket accounts, so the next step is probably to go to the 3s and 5s to fill in the odd numbers. I'm sure that this allows you to move very quickly, as opposed to the numerous groups of 4s/2s, which you will need to move in accordance with your seniority/other factors. Once the holes are filled, they probably go to the even numbered accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wait list for parking does not include the red or blue lots, only green, from what I'm told by the TO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 A member PMed me three-four days ago and said he moved downstairs. I was surprised, since he'd only been a ticket holder for four years. We were trying to figure out what made him so special. We finally figured it out: he had three tix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Taylor Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 So is that theory working for you this year, calling the TO and asking for seats? I'm not a sqeaky wheel type, so I don't use that theory. But, according to many posts I've seen in the past, it has for others. I do periodically call at what I perceive to be crucial times of the year, simply to inquire about my upgrade status, hoping I win the service lottery and get someone that can or will get me an upgrade. It hasn't happened yet. It doesn't mean I won't keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justice Hog Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Upgrades are just starting now. They called us and we were just upgraded to section 106 woohoo! Congrats, Huly!

Do you know if you can dump the third ticket the year after you are in a spot you are satisfied with? I put a deposit down for only two tickets when my letter came in the Fall, so I wonder if I am SOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forehead Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 And your not? Nope, merely telling him he needs to dial it back and lay off some of the others. However, I've already been warned that you can also be a pain in the butt, so we likely won't be communicating much further. Good day to you sir.
