Anybody heard anything about baseball ticket renewals? Hoping we will have the chance to buy tickets for at least part of the season.
This. Hoping they wait for as long as possible to decide. We have all seen the repercussions of some P5 conferences canceling seasons long before they needed to.twk said:
Frankly, I want them to wait as long as possible before making any decisions, because if they decide now, it would be 25% capacity
Absolutely there is a fear they will do this. Up until 2 or 3 years ago, baseball tickets that didn't require a donation didn't get priority points, even through they cost more than mid-court balcony basketball tickets that did get points. They addressed this, somewhat, by giving you five points per ticket per season. But, it wasn't retroactive, and really is just a tiny drop in the bucket. I've been buying baseball season tickets for 31 years, but I'm guessing that I've got either 30 or 45 priority points to show for it (I've got priority points for purchasing football tickets for the last 25 years, so I'm not totally out of luck, unlike some folks who aren't football season ticket holders). So, yes, it sucks, but, I don't know how else they would do it.12th Man Ag said:
With the basketball selection process just announced, is there a fear they will do the same for baseball and have us select seats based on PP? I seem to recall that PP are an issue in baseball since there is no donation required, so some have really good seats because they have been in them forever.
If they re-seat for 2021 based on PP, there could be some major blow back.
Been a season ticket holder for 9 years but I don't have any priority points.12th Man Ag said:

As Texas A&M awaits guidelines from the SEC regarding hosting events on campus this spring, season ticket renewals for Aggie Baseball, Softball, Tennis and Indoor Track & Field will be delayed until Jan. 2021 (timeline subject to change pending schedule information). No action is required at this time, and we will communicate your options as a season ticket holder when decisions are made.
While details have not been finalized, we anticipate that Texas A&M athletic venues will utilize a reduced capacity, distanced seating plan when hosting events this spring. Seating for current season ticket holders will be determined based on priority point rank.
I guess I'll be deferring my credit to 2022.......TXAGBQ76 said:
Bork's recent email regarding spring sports to season ticket holders said
1. Waiting to see what NCAA says
2. Waiting for SEC's response/ direction
3. Will most likely be reduced seating like football and basketball
4. Tickets will be allocated based on priority points
Stay tuned!
Same. VERY unfortunate and unneeded!!wareagle044 said:I guess I'll be deferring my credit to 2022.......TXAGBQ76 said:

Can't imagine what the resell market will be this year, with the limited amount of tickets issued. If anything, these outdoor sports should be the most lenient on headcount restrictions, with being outdoors.ensign_beedrill said:
I fear I am in this bucket as well.
My big concern is how this will impact our seats for 2022 and beyond. We've had the same seats for 6yrs and while I know that's minimal to many of the Ol' Ags, we love our seats and all the neighbors we have around us we've gotten to know over the years!twk said:
I opted out for football, and although I'm not a basketball season ticket holder, I did read through the thread on their seat selection process. My guess is that baseball will be like basketball, with most opting in, and, as a result, just about everyone will get pushed down in quality from what they are used to (in football, so many opted out that those who did opt in didn't see nearly as much displacement).
My big personal issue is I have 3 tickets, and in the other re-seatings, they had very few groups of 3, so that may relegate me to getting 2 tickets, unless they will let me pair up with someone renewing a single (happen to have a single next to me in my usual seats). I emailed the TMF about the prospects for a group of 3 and just got a boilerplate response back.
It will be like football. 2021 will have no effect on 2022. If you opt out, or don't make the cut for socially distanced seating this year, it won't affect your ability to renew in 2022. There are plenty of things to worry about, but this isn't one of them, unless you're worried about your neighbors just giving up their seats after laying out for a year (and there might be some of that, but I doubt it, based on baseball's incredible season ticket renewal rate).csag97 said:My big concern is how this will impact our seats for 2022 and beyond.

Well I wonder how many downstairs wanna go up stairs to sit on metal bleachers?ensign_beedrill said:
My personal issue is that I most likely do not have enough priority points to "beat out" all the people who will be opting in.
I am, however, renewing one single seat, so I offer to be paired up with you!
I can't imagine anyone who opts in declining seats upstairs because of the bleachers, unless they've got a bad back, can't climb, or something like that.BQ_90 said:

Good question. My guess is that they will set aside the same sections as usual for students, but who knows.Quote:
Also will they give students any seats other than the berms?
Yea, I've had my seats for about 32 years and have been bumped (after double knee replacement) to Reed Arena for parking due to low points. Loyalty loses compared to $$.ensign_beedrill said:Been a season ticket holder for 9 years but I don't have any priority points.12th Man Ag said:
