Lol, this is hilarious and ridiculous on like 5 different levels. How does this happen? Who got fired over this? Half of season ticket holders can't get it right either. Why is this the first email we've ever seen from Trev?

This is gonna cost like $70K to fix, but Trev is here to cost cut.

Dear Football Season Ticket Holders,


Texas A&M Athletics thanks you for your continued support of Texas A&M Football. We are excited to welcome you back to Kyle Field on August 31st for what will be a historic day as we kickoff the Coach Elko era.


Season tickets were delivered last week and unfortunately, the McNeese game ticket contains a graphic design error. Conner Weigman's first name was misspelled. We have apologized to Conner and his family for this mistake, and we are actively establishing a more robust proofing process moving forward to prevent future errors. Any printed tickets received for the McNeese game are still valid and should be used on game day.


In contrition for this mistake, after the conclusion of the season, Texas A&M Athletics will mail a complimentary commemorative season ticket to all season ticket holders, regardless of if you received printed tickets or digital tickets. Each season ticket account will receive one commemorative season ticket sheet as a keepsake for what we believe will be a special season in Aggieland. Additional information will be available at a later date.

Sincerely,

Trev Alberts
Texas A&M Director of Athletics

Seems like a waste of money. As a season ticket holder, I couldn't care less about what is printed on the tickets. I think the athletic department should wait until the end of the season and see how many season ticket holders even want to have a replacement sent. Only send it to those people. I personally would rather see that money spent elsewhere.

To be fair, Weigman's parents spelled it wrong first.

No reason spending money to fix it, that money would probably be better spent elsewhere. Just make sure the process is improved as he said. No one will remember that in 2 years, probably even Conner will never think about it.

"a more robust proofing process"???

Here's the only change to your process needed:

1. Anyone finding a misspelling or obvious error in a submitted proof will receive a $5,000 bonus.

2. Anyone submitting a proof with a misspelling or an obvious error will be docked $5,000 and is subject to immediate termination.

there's your robust process!

Two people collaborate to intentionally misspell words or names on tickets and split the bonus every week.

A nice income if you ask me

Do we have to compensate the student athlete for name, image, likeness if we misspell the name?

Asking for a friend.

Pretty much,

Most Aggie fans would have not even noticed and thought it was spelled correctly.

I hate the word 'robust' and put in in the same heap as 'customizable'.

Humans make mistakes. It's unfortunate but if that's the worst thing that happened today it's not a bad day.

If he could care less about what is printed on the tickets, would he be in the majority?

As someone with two foreign names that people always misspell or mispronounce, this whole thing is kind of funny to me. I hope Konner rolls with it like I do.

emphasis on blaming students for the administration simply not paying attention and likely rushing the roll out…

You're only doing this for collectors and the ticket will be more valuable in the future with the misspelling.

Yeah, I have had the same thought. Same as "Kev." Seems more of a kid's name than an adult. Like "Bubby."

Worked for a major company and reported to a guy named Michael, in his 50s, and went by "Mickey." Seemed a little old to go by that.

So that one's on his parents.
