Due to scheduling conflicts, the May 4 baseball game between the No. 2-ranked Texas A&M Aggies and the Incarnate Word Cardinals has been canceled and will not be rescheduled. Single-game ticket holders will be refunded for their purchase. Season ticket holders can exchange their ticket for a GA ticket to any remaining 2016 season baseball home game based on availability.
Why do I want a GA ticket for a game I already have a reserved seat?

You paid below market value for your season tickets. You are not getting screwed. They are giving you the opportunity to bring a friend/sell the ticket.

"Screwed"??

Seems like you could apply those to a big weekend series and make money on the deal.

Ok...that makes sense.

And yeah "screwed" was a little harsh.

This is how they always handled it and yes I was never very happy about it but I realized I received a price break from the face value of the tickets. In the past you were limited to midweek/non-conference games only, so at least you're getting a little better deal then offered in the past. It has been a few seasons since it happened, but when an extra game was added to the home schedule, season ticket holders were not charged for this game.

It's pretty chicken-**** to offer them a rather useless GA ticket to a game they have reserved seats for. Bring a friend? Really?

"Ok bob, thanks for riding with us, have fun in the cheap seats. See ya after the game."

What would be really funny is if all reserved season ticket holders requested GA for the same game. Then the ticket is gonna implode.

Technically they don't have to do anything based on the disclaimer on the back of the ticket. They are at least offering up something. If not, I think can handle the $20 loss for the two cancelled games so far this season.

If you had them on flash seats they'll (Flash) refund your money in 7-10 days...at least that's what I've been told.

Believe so. If you were to individually buy reserved tickets to every game, I believe you end up paying more than season ticket holders.

Now I'm sure they weren't as cheap as ga tickets, but they were still discounted compared to what they individually sell for.

I can not say for certain this season, but in the past the cost of Season Tickets was less than adding up the face value listed on each ticket. In other words, if you bought tickets individually for the exact same seat it would cost more than what you paid for your season tickets.

With parking it now cost over 14 dollars a game which is a little over 2 dollars over regular price so we are getting ripped off, if there is a conflict with baseball and softball games you have to eat one of the tickets. they do not care about season ticket holders, when ever they can,they ripped us off.

Every other person pays $5 for parking each game. GA tickets are, what, $8?

So you pay $1 more for premium parking and reserved seats, and you think you are getting screwed?

We did. My ticket in the upper deck was $255. There are 36 home games. That's $7.08 per game. The cheapest face value tickets in my pack are $12. Conference are typically $15. The t.u. game was $25. Now that we have 34 home games, the price per game has risen to $7.5. Still a very good deal... we are certainly not getting "screwed."

I think season ticket holders were screwed when they were forced to pay for incarnate word tix in the first place. Seems like a reward.

most of you have not been around A&M baseball like I have for 30 years and we get ripped off everytime they get a chance. They stick you with a seat fee and still take away games and give you a GA seat that you will never use.

when your return on Aggie baseball is no longer paying off, drop your tickets. Life will go on if you don't have baseball tickets.

Are you really this much of a crybaby or you just trolling? It was freaking Incarnate Word during the midweek and you are actually getting something of value in return. The GA ticket is probably worth more than the IW ticket.

I guess we have found out who "that guy" is.
