And he gets to do it basically for free since they would have sent something out to season-ticket holders anyway.<br /><br />Tom comes off as a good guy when all they are doing is correcting their prices to the market by understanding (correctly) that most of their seating areas represent different customer-types and different buying patterns.<br /><br />Someone spent a lot of time crafting this message, or they are a truly gifted bullshit artist.Aisle 424http://424tales.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250683060520895629.post-25161043801347514512010-10-11T16:23:15.094-05:002010-10-11T16:23:15.094-05:00Ricketts, apparently.

The people who benefit from this, as you said, are single-game customers. There are a lot of people who will be very happy about this (or at least very relieved from their anger last year). None of them got this letter.<br /><br />I am one of them, so I'm glad there will be more options for less expensive tickets. It's smart that they're doing it. It's not smart that they waste your time explaining it to you. Just say, "Our pricing structures are more complex to accommodate our entire customer base, but you won't notice much of a change."Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795756912910835287noreply@blogger.com
