    Something is being built behind left field fence next to fire lane. Not finished yet. Anyone know what that is?

    This is what the email said, it laid out that loyalty doesn't matter. It's why I've been so mad. Hell, the new orleans pelicans took season tickets away from ticket brokers in favor of actual fans. Why can't tech understand this.

    I encourage all you longtime Bulldog baseball season ticket holders who might not be the grandest LTAC contributors or even contributors at all who find themselves the victims of the deep pocket ticket shuffle scam to tell the messenger who gives you the bad news that it’s “BS”. That doesn’t mean to them personally or that they’re responsible... just a little, ‘please pass this onto AD Wood for me, BS.’

    The only way ‘they’ll’ ever know how unfavorable their elitist decisions are is by getting a little energized feedback when they do wrong.

    If you have a better idea, I’m all ears.

    That was not a letter, it was an email in letter form...I know you know that, but it's typical of the way we personalize our business. Pissants!

    Well in the next two weeks I'll get a call from the ticket office to discuss renewing my season ticket or changing locations.

    Seats remain at $200 with an extra charge that stays in the baseball program. I'm fine with this setup even though it will hurt a bit to renew.

    Two more weeks...

    On my four seats it is a $500 increase or 62.5%

    In 2019 (last year in old stadium) I was paying $524 for my 4 seats

    Which is a $776 increase (148%) over a two year period...

    My 6 seats will cost more than a tailgate tent and ten tickets now. Might think about a change, accept for the location I have now.

    High demand is an awesome and uncommon blessing for Tech! It will sting a tad but $$ well spent for sure.

    No - I feel it is gouging your loyal fanbase that has supported that program forever in favor of a bunch of "johnny-come-latelies"...

    I will be reducing my football and basketball tickets for the 2022 year and probably drop back to the minimum LTAC contribution to keep those seats

    So in the end it will be a net-loss for Tech athletics out of my pocket book

    Most of the new money will only be there for a handful of games as well and those seats will sit empty.

    Our people have shown they're comfortable inflating the attendance numbers by 3-5x so that shouldn't be a problem for their annual report

    ........What the hell is with this school? Has Tech's leadership just totally lost sight of everything important?
