I pay $6K a year for my six seats, and as a "thank you" the organization sends me a poster that definitely costs less than $3.00 to produce. It's almost as bad as when they sent two decks of playing cards as our ST thank you a few years ago.
Also, I find it laughable that they have arranged a "special deal" with some framing companies that you can take your poster and get it professionally framed for ONLY $60.
At this point they're just pissing on us and calling it rain.

Also not trying to be a dick but it is a picture anyone of us could take on any game day and do the same thing with. I was fine with the poster (I will give it to the people who buy my other 2 tickets) because what I care about are my tickets but I thought it was ridiculous as the above poster did that they try to lure us to an outside vendor to pay more money. If I pay $60 to $80 for a gift it is not a gift, I would rather not get anything. I would be happier with (1) free Beer or a soda!Aros":fmfeqlih said:IBleedBlueAndGreen":fmfeqlih said:I gotta disagree with Aros on this year's gift. I think it's total crap.

Meh. How about this? They don't have to send us anything other than the tickets. Get over yourself.
$6K? Sure, that's a valid investment and no joke but why should the team feel compelled to compensate for your investment outside of the entertainment value it provides each year? YOU choose to pay that kind of money. Not every fan does or can. Why on earth should you think the team should match your investment outside of the value that money already provides?
Not trying to be a dick here but come on.
