If the organization actually cared about an organization and retaining their season ticket holders they would offer varying levels of rewards. 

 

For instance maybe a discount of 1% off face value of a season ticket and concessions for every year you renew. So if you were to renew for the first time you would save 5 dollars on a $500 dollar season ticket, but after 20 years you would be able to save $100. 

 

It is a practice that is used in the business world often and helps to show that the organization appreciates your long-term commitment to the organization.

 

Instead of promoting long-term commitment, the organization would rather cater to the short-term "fill the seats now" people by offering 2 free beers, etc. While I know one might argue that they pay $10-20 dollars more a game, they do not have to pay for preseason games and the 2 free beers easily make up the difference in price. 

 

Everyone says that Khan is investing in the city and this and that, but what I see is another ploy to lure people in short-term to the games. I am sure that the ticket prices will rise next year; it was even hinted at when they unveiled the plans in February and how most tickets remained the same in price, etc, etc.

 

The best thing that can happen is that people quit drinking the kool-aid that is being poured for us and to wake up and realize we are just a puppet in the organization's long-term plan. There is no light at the end of the tunnel, please tell me what free agent would want to come to Jacksonville? Maybe an average player that we will overpay (i.e. Poz, Robinson, Porter, etc.) and not talent that could actually help propel us to some wins.
