Correct me if I’m wrong. 
 

Didn’t they lessen the perks/rewards of the flex plan? I have a set 13 game plan. 

Yes.   Lessened the perks and raised the prices.

And yet some folks think that ownership is going to be willing to increase payroll to the point that the team isn't profitable.

Which is incredible because the Orioles themselves introduced this flex plan, what in 2023?

I get the raising prices.  That makes sense. 
 

The lessening the perks doesn’t. That’s really bad. 
 

We have a year pass to Hersheypark and the perks we get with it are basically the reason we get it. Once you start to take away that stuff, you lose incentive to buy.

They are trying to get fans to hit the 13/29+ season tickets instead of the flex  plan. Last year’s flex pro was amazing incentives, including playoff priorities.

Spoke with a 29 season ticket holder during a game and he stated they did not require pre payment of all home games in advance, because of the flex member volume.

Will likely switch back to the 13 game plan, next September.

My friend and I each had flex plans. Him $2500 and me $1300. Neither of us renewed. Are schedules are too difficult to commit to a set plan and the lack of perks for the lower-tier set plans and flex plans make it not worth letting the Os earn the float on our money.

You should never have a credit card that has interest payments.  There is way to many cards that are offering 0% interest for 18 months and deals like that.  If you do have one with interest and you should be more worried why you keep giving the banks money every month if you don’t pay it off each month especially for a want item and need a necessities.  

I have all sorts of credit cards that charge interest because they provide me with tens of thousands of dollars in free interest. That said, I never pay interest, because I always pay off the balance each month.

That’s the thing. THEY just introduced the flex plans. I don’t have one but they add them and now they are taking away their value. It’s bad business. They never had these plans before. 
 

I guess one of the costs of new people running things is a lack of continuity.

When I worked down there, the only department that did well was our ticket department. By well I mean, we were doing things for fans that no other org was doing.

At that time, teams weren’t allowing you to exchange tickets or stuff like that. We would have out of town fans complain to us all the time about that and how they appreciated our flexibility.

Now I’m not sure how/if things have changed but I do know that many of the same people that were there when I was there are still there and they are good people.

To what level they are hamstrung, who knows. Some of this is change in ownership and how the new owners want to do their own thing and bring in some of their own people (see Griggs).

Before judging them, I would give them some time to get everything squared away. I get that they aren’t off to a great start with the way the playoff tickets were handled but they did make it right by issuing refunds to season ticket holders, so they do deserve some credit there.

But if the new owners do a good job, what are the posters who have accounts here to strictly complain about ownership going to post about?

The Rogers trade.
