Orioles see huge increase in season ticket sales

[Frobby]

Glad to hear this.  I wonder what a 70% increase in Birdland memberships means in terms of a % increase in actual ticket sales?

We should know on a Tuesday night in April.

I'm sure it helped having the opportunity to purchase '23 playoff tickets tied to purchasing '24 Birdland Membership

That's what did it for me.

Knowing now what games I have on the family calendar (that I can defend against other obligations) is a nice feeling this summer too.

Easter, May 19th run the bases, Father's Day, August Astros, September Rays. Let's goo.

Same here. I had a 13 game Sunday plan for years that I gave up in 2018, but I looove playoff and OD games. I jumped back in to buy a 2024 plan simply to have access to 2023 playoffs, and then being able to get OD and 2024 playoffs would just be a bonus. 

When you commit the money and can then spend it however you want, the plans are pretty hard to beat (as long as you go to at least a small handful of games per year). We got tickets to a few promo giveaway games and will probably spend the remainder on random weeknight games for slightly better $eats.

According to the Oriole website ,you can only exchange 50% of your ticket plan now.

Interesting. I'll use 50%+, but that's definitely good to know. What about sales? Do they count as exchanges?

Actually, can you post a link? I've been looking for a while now...can't find the fine print on the plans.

I originally misinterpreted the 50%....I was thinking exchange=forward.

You can exchange 50% of the tickets for the Reserved Membership (actual game plans) on a dollar for dollar swap.

You can do whatever you want (within the limitations of the specific level) with tickets purchased through the Flex Membership.

A winning team boosts ticket sales. Imagine that. 

It's as if there's a correlation between performing well and ticket sales. Best get the boys down in the lab working on this.

Pretty sneaky of Brightman to insert the jersey patch thing in there like it's some kind of barometer for the health of the franchise that we should be excited about.

Obviously there is a correlation, but it sounds like the degree of increase might be bigger than I’d expected based on what happened in the 2012-16 run.  I guess we’ll see.
