Heard they were mailed last week but haven't seen them yet
One L called today and was told that they were mailed yesterday and today. Well, yesterday was Sunday so I doubt the accuracy of that. If they were mailed today, most should get their tickets before the first home game, but if there are any slip ups by USPS, there will be a mess come game night. I got a call from a former Rattlers employee that heard from someone who got their tickets today. They said they got nothing but generic printet tickets like you would get from like TicketMaster. Well, didn't the Rattlers season end in May or early June? If so, that's 9 months for someone to be working on a ticket layout, a ticket company to work on the graphics/pictures, to get the schedule that came out months ago, and to print them. And now we are getting those ugly generic tickets???? Can't we just print our own tickets, so we can make tickets we will be proud to use???? Can't someone down their come up with something totally inovative and offer the fans a selection of graphics and photos and let us have a secure site to enter and use our personal code as season ticket holders, and design and print our own tickets at home? Wouldn't that cut the cost of the team printing them, especially if they were going to print generic tickets that look worse than made by the new Arena team located in Prescott Valley or worse than the tickets for the Arizona Caliente womens professional football team.
Well, I guess attractive tickets for premium ticket holders, or nose bleed season ticket holders for what it matters, doesn't put wins on the field. But I have always been thrilled to see what each years design is on the ticket and what players are printed. I have also been thrilled getting my tickets as early as possible so I can hand them out to my friends who I get tickets for. So much for planning.
I hope I was told wrong, and anxiously await my tickets that I paid around 5k for this years season. The scalpers will have an easier time passing off fake tickets if they are generic.
