UKMustangFan Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 So with all the new contract extensions the Reds have given out this offseason, they've made no secret that the key to keeping the core of the team together past the current deals hinges largely on the fans and their willingness to purchase tickets, specifically season tickets. So my question to Reds fans is simple...Who has purchased season tickets (of any variety) this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PutMeInCoach Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I've got a Yankees 4 pack. I didn't have the cash for a full 20 game pack or I would of went that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerTime Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I just can't commit to a certain number a games. I want to keep my options open. I will be going to a lot of games I know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I like going to the games where there are 15,000 fans a lot more than when there are 30,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNDUNHOFT Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I would rather go to a bar and watch them on TV almost every game is on Fox Sports Ohio. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Magic Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I usually spontaneously decide to go to Reds games. Therefore, season tickets are a no go for me. I'm expecting to double my average of about 12 games attended per season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only game I know of thus far is the Blue Jays game on Father's Day - a long standing family tradition amongst the guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be ideal if a group of people bought 4 season tickets and we could have a "draft night" where people selected their games. Once you get your tickets, you're free to trade / barter or do whatever. The key would be that the cost of the season tickets would be split by 4.

That actually sounds like a pretty good way of doing things. Maybe I'll mention that to folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKMustangFan Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 The purpose of the question was to see if Reds fans were actually buying many more season tickets, and it appears they are not. It's the only way they'll be able to keep the core of the team together past their current contracts. Going to "x" amount of games is great, but season tickets are the real way the Reds are going to be able to spend more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
