Season Tix arrived....

**purplepoe** · 07-22-2011, 04:31 PM

I was surprised how quickly they arrived but I just noticed that the neither the opposing team's name or logo appear on the tickets.

Anyone else get theirs and notice same thing?

Seems odd to me.

Got mine, too. Now that you mention it, there's nothing except our guys' photos and "Game 1", "Game 2", etc.

I suspect they are keeping open the option of moving games 1 & 2 to the tail end of the season, and game 3 to the bye weeks, if the Lockout goes out that far.

Yea, that make sense.

Guess I should've figured that out myself.

What pictures are on the tix? For us without season tickets.

Never mind I posted this before reading Mista T's post.

So does #1 and #2 represent the preseason games?
There isnt a schedule in the booklet included with the tickets.
Its kinda confusing.
I guess if they waited to print out tickets, they wouldnt have them in time for the Aug games.

You got that right. How many folks are going to show up to the Sept. 11th game (if there is one) with the "Game 1" tickets and be in for a nasty surprise?

**HoustonRaven** · 07-23-2011, 08:14 AM

I've actually arrived with the wrong tickets before.

And yes, they will let you in if you can show you're the PSL owner.

It will cost you $40 a ticket though.

Good point. The first home game has been called Game 3 for fifteen seasons, but no one really pays attention because, in all previous seasons, the opponents' names and dates had been provided.

This could have been mitigated by a little better planning by the Ravens Ticket Office: instead of Game 1, Game2, Game 3, the tickets should have been labeled "Preseason Exhibition 1" "Preseason Exhibition 2", and then Game 1, etc.

Hate to break to some of you, but if week 1 of the preseason is cancelled, PSL owners wont see a dime back.

Week 1 of pre-season is in Philly, not Baltimore.

Hey, duh! Go over to the poll thread and you will see it stated, very clearly, that the first HOME Exhibition game is on August 19th vs. KC. No one outside of the Great State of Texas has stated anything differently.

(1) read
(2) think
(3) then post

don't skip steps!

btw: I was in N'Awlins, Houston, Dallas, Austin two days ago ... what you guys have in your little "heat wave" is flyshit compared to what our outdoor oven here: 109 on the car thermometer, 117 heat index downtown Baltimore yesterday!

Sensitive much?

I wasn't speaking about you.

And when you have 2 months straight of 100+ degree days like we had last year, then I will be impressed with your so called "heat wave".

**BLSmokey** · 07-23-2011, 10:43 AM

It's so damn hot. Milk was a bad choice.

Yeah my brother lives in Monroe Louisianna.... He says that out heat wave is normal to them - lol.

... agree those tickets could have been designed a little better regardless of the uncertainty...

What? You pooped in the refrigerator? And you ate the whole... wheel of cheese? How'd you do that? Heck, I'm not even mad; that's amazing. How 'bout we get you in your p.j.'s and we hit the hay.

On a slightly more serious note, I was scratching my head at the Game 7 tickets with Matt Stover on them, but then I remembered that I believe he's being inducted into the ROH this year, so I'm guessing it's during that game....

It actually says this on the ticket.

Really, I'm surprised that some of you are confused by these tickets. I reallyu hate that the opponent name isn't on them, but with the labor situation this is the only thing they could do.

Always happy to help you Houston, no need to thank me.

Wasn't referring to your post either.

Sensitive is thy name ...

My tix were delivered in horrible shape. They look like they have been trampled by horses. I do not know why they do not ship them in harder envelopes. Called the Ravens and talked Tony who told me I could drive them to Baltimore (from Annapolis) and hand them in and then they would print me "generic" tickets. I didn't like that option so I was then transferred to Mike Burke who didn't understand whatthe big deal was and thought it was funny that I was calling about the condition of my $1,800 worth of tix. Its not a big deal...... I couldn't believe this was the response I received. Does anyone (Ted, TL) know who I can contact? Now I am actually more pissed at their attitude then the tix....

Do you plan to use them, or mount them on the wall? What difference does it make what shape they are in as long as they get you in the gate?

I would suspect that it would be quite expensive for the Ravens to reprint original tickets for just one customer. I can kind of understand their point.

EDIT: Don't mean to sound like a jerk. Just curious...
