Brazil is coming...

My comment was in regards to people complaining about 2 tickets being used for this game.

 

Wow, cause my comment is totally not about the schedule change but people bitching about two tickets from their season ticket package being used.

 

They announced it the same way they announced the Brazil game. I remember it distinctly, and I was one that was very mad that we had no special event tickets left and my rep forwarded my complaint.

 

I feel like its last Saturday, sitting at Castro's waiting till Karen's flight gets in and listening to Tim and Ashu....

 

You don't have to take my word for it. It's here in the press release.

I always have complained and always will complain. I do not think it is right to just add a game on to a Revs game and make STH's use 2 tickets. I SHOULD NOT have to use 2 tickets for 1 game. I think all 20 of of season tickets should used for Revs games. If you add a game to make it a DH, that game should never ever count towards my use of season tickets. It is sleazy and downright ************! If people actually think this will attract new fans, your are dead wrong.


I feel bad for people who made plans to go away Friday and Saturday and be back in time for the game on Sunday.

 

So I am very mad about it this year, what's the difference?? Oh yeah because we get Brazil now???

If you were mad about it last year, and people are upset about it this year. Why are you calling out people for it not liking it this year??

 

As a soccer fan I'll be happy to see Brazil and Venezuela play. As a Rev's fan I'm upset that the Rev's game is getting shuffled around as a warm-up act for an exhibition match at a time that will be very difficult for anyone who can't take time off from work to make it to. I have a feeling Kraft is just doing this so they don't have to pay to open up the stadium on the normally scheduled game-day and pay all those staffers for "just a Revs game".

 

I am so confused ... again

On March 13, the Revs announced Special Game A would be a July 13th Revs vs Santos SuperLiga Match.

Now I'm supposed to use Special Game A for Brazil but enter the game on my Dallas Event #6 ticket.

Do we get both games to count as Special Game A, meaning one is actually free?

What ticket do I use to enter the 7/13 Santos match - Special Game B?

Special Game B was the 7/16 Pachuca SuperLiga match -- does this now become Special Game C?

Will Special Game D become the real ticket for the Santos Match as many people will have torn up their Special Game A ticket because they were told to enter on the Dallas Event #6 ticket.

Will the Revolution Meal Deal be available during the Brazil Match or will the hot dog be replaced by a yam sandwich?

 

I'm sorry but this attitude really bugs me. The ticket prices for these DH's are always well higher than what two Revs tickets cost. Generally speaking they have been games that are worth going to see and we all know the deal when we buy the tickets. You may not like Brazil v Venezuela, some one else might not like Ireland v Bolivia but don't forget we also got USA v Mexico WWQ and USA v Netherlands send off match. On top of that we get a discount off the face value of every game (and any additional tickets bought) and free parking at these DH's. Do you know what Pat's fans get for buying season tickets? The obligation to buy tickets to 2 semi worthless pre-season games, a price increase every year and rediculous parking rates!!! Yea!!! I am not one to suck up to the FO any I think that people on this board have legitimate gripes but this is NOT one of them.
Sorry if I came across to strong but I had to vent.

 

The point some of the detractors are making is that we pay for twenty trips to the stadium and we now only get 19.

When it comes time to shell out extra money for playoff tickets, that's when I'll get angry. Until then, I'm sort of excited to see Brazil play in a game that I won't be rooting for the underdog to upset them.

 

Both games were not. The STH's got a winter hat, though.

To go along with the stupid answers that come out of May Day, here's a stupid question:

Those of us in GA seating with season tickets will be getting seats here shortly. Will they be enforcing assigned seating for the Revs game, or will it be GA and then switch to assigned seats when the Revs game is up?

I ask this because I may want to get a much higher seat to watch Brazil.

 

Would I like to have post season tickets included too. Sure, but when you look at the cash value of the average DH vs. what it cost me to buy two playoff tickets it doesn't compare. Say that CAT 1 tickets are $75 and parking is $30 that's 105 and I am paying $48 so that's a savings of $57. I understand the whole changing the Rev's game to 6:30 on a Friday complaint, I sort of get some people not interested in seeing Brazil play. I don't get people who complain that they are a sold a vastly discounted, highly demanded ticket in return for having to buy a much cheaper lower demanded (sadly) ticket later in the year. And oh by the way what if, God forbid, the Rev's don't make the playoffs?
Bash the FO for not getting a DP, not spending closer to the cap, not allowing flags in the stadium but don't bash them when they try to give you an opportunity watch world class soccer and a great price.

 

So if they had a concert, by an aging rock band you hated, after the game and made that a special event, would you be happy? Tickets to see The Who and The Rolling Stones go for far more than what they are charging on 6/6. Hey, you get a chance to see bands in their 60's play for maybe the last time.

If it were a stand alone game used as a special event, less people would be upset about this. Non STH's living under a budget would still be able to attend the Dallas game.

BTW, if all the special events aren't used, you get to roll over that into next season's tickets. It's happened in the past.

 

Basically what I've read in this thread is people are pissed because the game got moved to a Friday and then people are starting to get pissed about having to use two tickets for the game. I just don't remember the same reaction last year, until after the game that they realized the Revs game was of better quality then the Ireland/Bolivia game. I don't know if this condition is just another reason to moan and groan about the Revs FO.

 

"A few questions have been raised to our ticketing group and through feedback about how the Special Events tickets in the season-ticket packages will be used now that we have a new event. Please see the list below for the designations as they stand now:

Special Event A: Brazil vs. Venezuela, June 6, 8:30 p.m.
Special Event B: SuperLiga - Revolution vs. Santos Laguna, July 13, 8 p.m.
Special Event C: SuperLiga - Revolution vs. Pachuca, July 16, 8 p.m.

As you can see, the events have been re-lettered to take in to account this most recent game addition so it coincides with the calendar. If you have any further questions, please call your account representative or 1-877-GET-REVS."
