Seat Donations Increasing per Felt Email

[SHUHitman]

This is what I was told on the phone today but checked my account and it's $106 more than last year. I think I'm more pissed and really considering not renewing because of the incorrect information than the actual increase at this point. $30 I could swallow, the $106 seems like a huge slap in the face after the fact.

So since my renewal invoice is inexplicably not in my account, I emailed the ticket office and asked for a PDF. Upon opening the PDF, I nearly had a heart attack over the amount due at the bottom. Upon further review, they sent me someone else's invoice that had more tickets than me and in a nicer section lol.

What’s the benefit to being a season ticket holder and dealing with mandatory fees and whatnot? Honest question

I’ll let you know after the NCAA at Prudential this year. This was the year to have them

You get free tickets to the NCAA tournament for games at Prudential?

Truthfully, I don't think there is any benefit anymore unless you are at a high Pirate Blue contribution level.
As a holder, I used to receive the following as the two main benefits:

1. Annual Welcome package with some decent coupons and a small gift
2. Annual Season Ticket Holder's Holiday Party
3. Opportunity to buy parking for the season at a slight discount
4. Some % discount off of the rack rate ticket prices
5. A separate portal to buy and sell tickets with other season ticket holders, free from TicketMaster's clutches.

#1 and #2 are both long gone. I don't leverage #3 because I prefer not to park in the lots that are eligible. #4 has value if you are attending the majority of the games. #5 doesn't exist anymore. Can still sell through Ticketmaster, but the option to buy from that portal was a nice perk, you knew you were buying and selling with die hards; prices were fair and fees were minimal.

So honestly, if you take out the Pirate Blue contribution level-specific rewards, I think being a season ticket really has no value at all unless you can guarantee yourself that you're attending enough games that buying them all at a discount makes sense. I continue to be one because I like my seats, am a creature of habit, and I want to continue the tradition of having them.

I’m not getting my season tickets for next year after 15 years. But my reason is not a protest or anything of the sort. For me living in Princeton, the drive up Route 1 and the Turnpike for mid week night games is something I’m not comfortable doing anymore. My seats were great, mid court section 8 row 9. I’ll direct my ticket money to Pirate Blue and buy select weekend games next season. Kinda breaks my heart, despite this disappointing season.

I don't blame you for not wanting to do that drive, which is awful. But have you given any thought to taking the train up there? When I go, I always take the rails from Trenton. Cost of the round trip is less than parking at The Rock, and I can read this board the entire ride home (which, I guess, is a perk!). You can get it from West Windsor, so it'd be even less money.

I think I've driven to The Rock once in all the years we've played there and I'd never do it again.
