Season Ticket holder survey (renewal)

Last week, the Saints emailed me my season ticket holder survey. There’s a lot of questions about the game day experience, promotions, benefits, etc. But this year, they asked about the direction of the team and the organization, in the context of how you valued your season tickets. There was also a comment section to expand on answers. I imagine they’re going to get some pretty interesting comments.

I have four season tickets, two in the 500s right on 50 and two in the lower corner. I’ve had them since 2006. I stated that I will not renew at least one pair, and maybe both. The reason is simple - the team sucks and it makes no sense to pay over $6K a season to watch the result of management’s poor decisions (particularly coaching staff). In my case, I have to travel in, so I can only get to four or five games. I usually give remaining tickets to family members still in Louisiana as either birthday or early Christmas presents. But not this year. For the Jacksonville game, I literally could not give tickets away to anybody I knew, friends or family. Nobody wanted them (and I stated that in survey). I Sold tickets for about 20% of face value. Nobody I know wants to go to the Giants game, so I will be lucky to sell them at 30% of face value. You cannot expect people to pay to watch a crap product; they won’t even go for free.

Because of what’s already invested, current season ticket holders will go to games they already paid for. I will still go to CAR and probably ATL. But season ticket holders can fill out the survey and indicate that they’re not renewing. I just hope someone in Saints organization cares enough to actually read the damn thing.
