I'd sure love to hear your ticket history at RFK. I'm just trying to figure out who got dugout box seats because you'd think somebody who a) was full season from day one in '05, and b) had tickets in the 3rd row behind the dugout and RFK and c) listed Dugout Box as first choice would somehow manage to at least stay in the dugout box section, but not me.

I was a STH since day one (2005). I got put into section 112 row FF (about row 30 I guess).<BR/>I talked to my rep this morning (they didn't return my calls yesterday). They told me what I could move to, and at this point I want to change to Infield Gallery, but after calling back about 20 times I cannot even get a return call. Who knows whats available at this point, but I am not happy with the process they followed, or are following.<BR/><BR/>When I was filling out the relo questions, I chose club for all three preferences BECAUSE MY REP TOLD ME THEY WOULD CALL IF MY TOP 3 WEREN'T AVAILABLE. Turns out that wasn't true. So instead of getting my next choice available when my turn in line came up, they decided that Baseine Reserve was the price equivalent of section 313 from RFK, and stuck me there (about 30 rows back). I'm not willing to pay $40 for those seats.<BR/><BR/>NOW the processes is that there is a waiting list to get into sections 206-221. But my place on the waiting list is determined by when my rep decided to return my call. I'm only on the list because I brought it up (they didn't even offer after talking for 5-10 minutes!). It seems to me, especially since I sent an email on Sunday stating I wasn't happy, and started calling Monday morning, I should have automatically been put on the list based on my prior priority and top 3 choices, not based on the fact that my rep decided not to return my initial email and calls until tuesday around noon.<BR/><BR/>At this point "Pledging My Allegiance" in 2005 didn't make a difference, because I am looking at what is available in the 300 level after EVERYONE ELSE (15,000?) has been seated. <BR/><BR/>I think people who buy season tickets for the first time this season will get comparable seats to whatever I end up with after I get moved (if I manage to get in touch with anyone). That is extremely disappointing for me after waiting 3 years. I now get the feeling that the Lerner's really could care less, because I think they have the "you can't make everyone happy" attitude to a fault, and people like me who didn't get any of their choices are only 10%. However, something tells me that when they have someone specific on their list they want to make happy, they can get it done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-48860837481937789002007-11-20T10:55:00.000-05:002007-11-20T10:55:00.000-05:00Section 417, Row E, Seat 22.

I posted a few reflections on the process at Capitol Punishment, where there seem to be fewer satisfied customers than here. <BR/><BR/>One thing that has always fascinated me is that when you go to a game, you see people sitting all over the stadium, even in the upper deck of the outfield, enjoying themselves and not moving to empty seats that would be a lot better. That gives me some hope that the folks who are complaining about being 20 rows farther back than they hoped will ultimately enjoy the ride.Section 222https://www.blogger.com/profile/12519535045989977381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-64043233072425929742007-11-17T10:37:00.000-05:002007-11-17T10:37:00.000-05:00Just for clarity - I am a different poster from "a...Just for clarity - I am a different poster from "anonymous" that also posted around 2:30 AM last night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-22351389830080825772007-11-17T10:30:00.000-05:002007-11-17T10:30:00.000-05:00Thanks Mr. 206.

Club level, 1 section to the right of home plate on the aisle closest to the plate. <BR/><BR/>No idea about tailgating at the new park but I'll have pre-game and post-game hanging out on the club level with 3 other friends or family, big seats (which I need) and all the other club amenities. <BR/><BR/>I feel terrible for all the loyal fans who have posted, and others, who did not get what they were hoping for. <BR/><BR/>From what I am hearing there is some jockeying going on now plus it's not like you are stuck where you are forever. Give it a few years and I would bet most everyone will be able to move to somewhere they like better. <BR/><BR/>Bottom line: I am one happy Nats fan.<BR/><BR/>How many days till pitchers and catchers report?? :-)))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-17525867395888939082007-11-17T10:06:00.000-05:002007-11-17T10:06:00.000-05:00Did not get any of my choices and assigned seats a...Did not get any of my choices and assigned seats are not as good as the seats I had at RFK (317R6).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05765677852755483589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-56978619977304304912007-11-17T07:18:00.000-05:002007-11-17T07:18:00.000-05:00I've left a message with the ticket office asking ...I've left a message with the ticket office asking for clarification.

If this were any other business, I wouldn't renew my tickets, but I realize in this case walking would only have the effect of depriving me of something that I really love, so I'll probably just suck it up, renew my tickets, be bitter that the business part of the club played me for a sucker, but realize that shouldn't effect my feelings towards the baseball part of the club (it's not like Zimmerman and Dimitri screwed me over). So I'll deal with it, but this process was not handled right. <BR/><BR/>---<BR/><BR/>On a different (and less negative) note - SBF, your blog really is fantastic.
