I'm sure others received an email today from the ticket office announcing that season tickets are currently on sale. I did appreciate the following new slogan for the 2022-23 Bobcats - "New Kids on the Bricks led by Head Coach Jeff Boals."

I'll wait a month or two to renew my basketball tickets. Kind of rushing the season, if you ask me.

Cowtown A&M or whatever they are referred to here (Ohio A&M or Cowtown State), sends us our renewals in January of the season currently happen! Especially in post-covid economy, they are just trying to ensure the FY looks good. So collecting basketball revenue before July 1 makes the books look that much better.

It's crazy that CFB releases OOC agreements years (decades!) in advance but with CBB it's always a down-to-the-wire thing. I guess it's not really hurting anything, it's just annoying for us crazed-fans. I need my fix! I've seen crazier things happen.

ABC -> always be closing. Never too early to talk about reserving your seats for next season. The low hanging fruit are the sales you can't miss.

The Orioles (at the time considered to be one of the most fan-friendly franchises in MLB) sent a letter in November 1994 telling season ticket holders that they had to order and pay for their 1995 season tickets by 12/31/94 or face being dropped. At the time, the two sides were so far apart that there was no guarantee that there would be a '95 season or even how many games they would play if there was one. As it is, they lost more than 10% of their games because of the strike, but fans were still charged the full amount. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

I believe refunds were given (at my former employer) b/c of Covid and STH's were given the option to bump their deposits towards the next season or could be refunded. This particular franchise claims to be the most cost affordable ticket in the MLB so I can respect that.
