Season Tickets

[Secret Weapon]

Has anybody here ever bought season tickets to one of their favorite teams? If so, did you feel it was worth it or ever get sick of going to games? I'm seriously considering getting season tickets to the Blues next year, as they should be a fun team to watch and still a reasonable value. While I'm sure one could go to fewer games and get better seats for the same price with all the promotions they run, but part of the mystique of being a "season ticket holder" seems appealing as well.

I mean, leading off with "I've been a season ticket holder for x many years" when calling into a radio show/posting on a message board leads to instant bumping of the fan cred.

Sooo, worth it or no?

I've always wanted to buy season tickets, i've just never been able to afford it. I don't know if I'd want to go to 40 sporting events a year though.

Yea, I can't commit to something like that. My aunt and uncle get a small group together to buy Blues season tickets every season and then they divide them up so they can all see 10 or so games a year. Cheaper than buying single season tickets to 10 games for them.

I had Blues season tickets for 3 seasons, and they were most definately worth it. I loved going to every game, and unlike baseball wher you pretty much have a game every night for a week, the 2-3 games per week are very manageable. I would get upset when I was travelling for work and had to miss a game.

The key is not paying for parking each time, or getting beer(s) every game. Park at Gast Haus and walk, or take the Lafayette Fire Company bus (they don't really care much if you didn't eat there). Have some pre-game beers for cheap there if you want to drink.

Not having season tickets this past season drove me nuts. It will be the biggest thing I miss when I move.

This is maybe the only thing on my bucket list. I have always dreamed of having Cardinal season tickets, and attending every home game. I will have to wait until I retire, and then rent a place near the stadium for the year.
