I suspect a lot of last minute duties had no one to champion them. 

I have had good service again this season, and I don't have an special  go to persons any longer. Seems like the ticket office is working properly at this point. 

I’m a very curious what changes if any they are making this year with the new “membership” plans. 

Most fans I know are happy with the direction of the franchise but that doesn’t mean they are going to want to pay to watch what they know will be losing baseball.

Most people that work for the Orioles are really good. I  know why they went to Ticketmaster. now. Be interesting to see when tickets go on sale this year. Last year ,season tickets went on sale January 9th. Single game January 25th. Spring training January 13th but announced January 10th.

Last year was bogus.

I do not expect base price cuts.  I do expect more interaction and "tribe" specific opportunities. Firefighter nights, Craft Brewer nights, Thom Yorke lookalike nights...

For me it would be more about benefits, not cost. They need to give people reasons to keep plans. The incentives are what matters. I am not naive enough to think there will be price reductions. 

Everyone needs to have food and shelter. You can still be an Orioles fan and support the team without season tickets.

Oakland has many of those. I don't think we have Cesar Chavez Day. I thought they would do holiday and flex plans. I know they talked about it. Most of the teams are going to them. i saw 3,4  game  and up plans from over half the teams.

I think that we can look at this season as experimental and the infancy of the Orioles new ownership approach. If they live until next season I expect a real plan.  I am in Sarasota for all of spring training 2020. Seven weeks.

Have fun. I see more concerts to get more revenue when attendance for baseball is down. The Red Sox put in for as many as 16 concerts this year. The neighborhood said they don't want that many messing up the neighborhood. Red Sox  said maybe we only do 12. ?

Link to the Black Level Plan, which is 29 games- https://www.mlb.com/orioles/tickets/season-tickets/black-level?partnerId=ed-13332526-1119494963#members-only-benefits

It looks like they are also keeping the 30 minute early access to the seating bowl for most games (Opening Day and some of the big giveaway/theme games are the only exception.) which is cool.  However I hope they can police it better, because it's actually not a lot of STH's using it, but a select group that bring in more guests than they have tickets.  I do like the additional 30 minute entry as well for Fridays and Saturdays. I like the rewards program.  It has everything from playing catch or BP on the field, to getting the Oriole Bird to make a special appearance at your seat.  

I'm definitely reupping, as long as they keep following the direction and process of rebuilding the right way.  Watching rebuilding baseball is watching a different kind of game, and I'm OK with it provided we have the right results in the end.  

$1 replay dates- and $10 lower left field tickets for select days- is also a huge benefit if you can't go to a game last minute and can't trade out, especially if you are a long-term STH and the ushers know you.  I turned a couple of those tickets into my own seats because they're used to seeing me in the section.

Still have the same 2.5 hour early access on Fridays and Saturdays which is cool.  It looks like they are also keeping the 30 minute early access to the seating bowl for most games (Opening Day and some of the big giveaway/theme games are the only exception.) .

They had early access on Friday and Saturday’s last year?

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      If Mayo and Holliday are here next year, one of them most certainly has to move to the OF. There is only one position available. Henderson, Westburg, and Mountcastle are all starting caliber INFs. For a team who is trying to win a WS (like I assume the goal will be again next season) I don't see the wisdom in introducing too much possible volatility at one time due to the variance in performance that young players (first time big leaguers can produce). To have a lineup where Holliday, Mayo, (Kjerstad and Norby for that matter) are all trying to acclimate/figuring out how to hit big league pitching all at the same time does not seem like a wise move and it definitely doesn't seem like something Elias would do. I'm not sure that I see this is a move that would be ultra-risky or a move that would be for a rebuilding team. We are obviously going to be in the postseason and we could go all the way. If we were to turn around after a successful season and then jettison all vets and go with a rebuild lineup with half or more being occupied with young players prospects, I think it would come with a lot of negative PR and most likely a negative fan reaction. Teams who are successful and have young stars/cornerstone players under multiple years of control/contract (Rutschman, Henderson) don't typically decide to rebuild/reset in the midst of that. That could be detrimental to the teams bottom line and that would be a hard sell to an owner who has just taken over the team.

      Interesting Article About Scott Boras and Orioles

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Yes, Boras clients occasionally sign extensions.  No, Boras won’t prevent a client that wants to sign an extension from doing so.  Yes, Boras clients sign fewer pre-FA extensions than clients of other agencies (based on comparing his share of pre-FA extensions vs. his larger share of MLB players). That’s because of either the advice he gives, attracting clients with a similar philosophy, or both. Scott has never signed a player with less than two years of service time to a long-term extension.  He has only signed 1 pre-arb player to a long-term extension which was 13 years ago (Carlos Gonzalez). Expectations of signing Gunnar or Westburg to extensions need to be calibrated against this reality.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By RZNJ · Posted

      A.J. Preller is apparently a good talent evaluator and an aggressive GM.   I get the feeling he thinks they can keep replacing prospects through the draft and J2 signings.   He’s kind of painted himself into a corner with the current team.  He traded for Arráez.   The Padres were already rumored to be interested in Crochet.  I wouldn’t put it past Heller.  Of course, Crochet isn’t a rental so it’s not quite selling your soul to the devil to trade an Ethan Salas for him.  Not sure what else they have to offer.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By deward · Posted

      I didn't really know either until the news of his death, which was kind of a lightbulb moment for me in relation to the extreme all-in approach the Padres had been taking in recent years. The family has kept a lot of details private, but from reading a couple of the articles after he passed, he had already gone through a couple of different tough cancer fights and it was known around the industry that his health was tenuous. I don't know if he got a specific prognosis before the end, but it seems clear that he wasn't taking any time for granted and wanted to push to make things happen while he could. It's not really relevant for the O's, but it has come up now and then when some folks start asking why the O's couldn't try to spend like the Padres - it's clear now that the Padres were in a unique situation.

      No, but my family should get a good dose.
