re: Today is my last day as a Season Ticket Holder (2006 - 2023). Thanks Mickey & DA.

Honestly with the way sports are nowadays season tickets are kind of obsolete. For most home games you can get tickets for cheaper than what you pay per game for season tickets. Plus then you aren't locked in to having to attend each game or sell tickets for games you aren't going to use. And the vast majority of season ticket holders (even the diehards) probably miss at least 1 home game a year.

There used to be the appeal that you knew where your seats were each game and you knew the people around you. In a way by having that you built camaraderie and seeing the same people each year was like seeing old friends. But nowadays even if you have season tickets there's a good chance the seats next to you are going to be owned by some ticket broker who is just selling all the tickets, a corporation who just gives the tickets away for each game or a fan who might go to a few games but then will probably sell half the games, including the big games where they can make the most money.

At the end of the day in all of these scenarios you will be next to a different fan each game.

Plus let's be honest, watching at home is now more enjoyable than at the Dome. Your own (not stadium priced) food, your own couch, a personal bathroom, it's just all better.

I haven't had season tickets for awhile now. I typically select 2 home games a year that I'll go to (this year it was the Jaguars and Panthers). Typically I try to do 1 home game against a team that doesn't visit the Dome that much and then typically a game that's pretty cheap to attend.

Never mind that with season tickets you are left with the preseason games that you probably can barely give away. You go on SeatGeek or StubHub and you can get those games for like $5.

But honestly I no longer really see the appeal of season tickets.
