The TMF just emailed me to let me know that if I want 2027 season tickets, I'd better get in line to make my commitment quickly. Apparently they are expected to be in "high demand".

Keep in mind: they took away the Gig em pass this year after four seasons of enjoying that with my family. Then as a consolation, they said I would be able to get in the lottery to buy season tickets on June 9, but when my window came up there were none available. This was all in the aftermath of the playoff game ticket sale debacle when I was supposed to get a shot to buy seats, but my window was closed three hours before it even opened because they let people bulk by and gouge on the resale.

All this to say: talk about a swing and a miss from a planning/optics perspective. My family doesn't have the ability to go to a lot of games, but we definitely enjoyed the access of going to one (sometimes two) a year via the gig em pass. I was a little sour after all that unfolded, but watching the team implode this year after they decided to run up the cost of tickets feels a little like justice. I will not be buying 2027 season tickets, but I will continue to scout opportunities to buy tickets to individual games as we are able in the future. Perhaps having a son going there next fall will give us more incentive to pay up a little in order to go, but our entire experience going back to the Miami game leaves me feeling like an unappreciated patron.

In before "Dear diary…"

I got the email too. Bold move to send that amidst a **** season.

I can watch them lose on TV for "free"...already paying for YTTV

Just proves that there is no pressure at all for that organization to put a winning product on the field.

I had the same thoughts when I got the email, too. The Gig 'em Pass was great, and I bought two of them every year. Then the athletic department canceled them. Same experience as OP with season tickets. A blessing, though.

Going to games as an out of towner is just too expensive, especially if what we watch is a losing home team inside a stadium filled with way too loud DJ music and overpriced concessions that spill everywhere because we can't be trusted with having bottle caps….

I'll happily support my local sports bar instead and still save a ton of money.

Yes, you gotta keep supporting the mediocrity associated with the longest conference championship drought in school history. 28 years and counting

Nothing changes until people start voting with their wallets and their feet.
