Here’s one for yah!

Post by BFcatfan » Sat Aug 24, 2024 11:38 am

So we have season tickets and pay a extra $250 for
Club access. Got a phone call from the ticket office yesterday the 23rd saying they would need another $700 donated to the Bobcat Club to keep the club access. WTF… they have already sold these tickets to hundreds of people. I told him he was going to piss a lot of ticket holders off. Was told he was aware as I was his 25th call. My question is why now? Why not wait until next season? Must have a parking lot
Payment coming up. Very greedy to sell tickets 4-5 months ago and then say we need another $700 ..another question is does anyone know who actually makes that decision? Costello? Waded? Kmax? 🤔 I have until next Thursday to make a decision.

Just like the airplane, when I win the lottery I will make sure that no fan has to pay these fees. Mainly because I will buy all the boxes and then choose who I want to sit in them. 😂

Seems like missing some context here. Did something change from MSU that they are requiring additional payment or was it always there and the purchase didn’t collect the full donation amount at that time? Seems somewhat unlikely to me that they are actually changing this late and requiring a new fee after the fact and more likely that the fee was there and just didn’t get charged/paid as it was supposed to. :shrug:

You could be right kmax about a fee or donation amount never being asked for. I say that because this year when I was renewing season tickets the ticket office discovered that I had been under charged for a few years. They said they wouldn't try to go back and collect it, which was nice to hear.
What I did do was total up the amount under paid and added that amount to what I had already donated to the IPF.

There is a Bobcat Club fee of $350 per seat in the middle section (104) where I sit. Only problem is, they don't ask you for it when you pay for the tickets. I knew there was a fee and called Casey Fox to ask about white lot parking. So I asked about the fee and he said "really? They didn't assess the fee? You can pay me now if you want..."
So I assume the $700 fee is for your seats and has nothing to do with the fee for Club Access. The price we pay to be "elite"!
Anything to piss off the multitudes...bait and switch!

I paid $700 to the Bob Cat club for the right to buy two season tickets plus the price for the season tickets plus another $250 for club access. Want to know if I’ll get
My $250 back if I say no. I’ll probably pay because I know it’s for a great cause but it’s an odd way to do business. If I ran my business this way I’d have zero customers in a very short time.
