-There are 2 seats for each of 20 games. They are in the Home Redbird Club, Section 252, Row 4, Seats 9-10. Rated as great seats by all attendees to date… (AC inside, in the shade for day games, you can see into the Cardinal dugout, etc. etc.)
-I take the Season Opener as I manage the plan, seats are in my name, and I fund the payments and then pass along invoices for each person’s quarter and separate and deliver the tickets along with a grid of who has which game. We are usually able to get other seats for opening day in a pre-sale for season ticket holders. I also have a matrix we have used to figure out fair distribution of playoff tickets for all 4 partners-a system no one has complained about in 30+ years… I am glad to share what it looks like if you are so inclined.
-Starting with home game 2, the tickets are labeled 1, 2, 3, 4; 1, 2, 3, 4; etc. Who gets each of the 4 sets is done by random drawing. Thus, you get every fourth game. We did this as randomly drawing for tickets sometimes left someone with all the day games, no Cubs or other good opponent games, or having 5 games in a row. You can usually find someone willing to swap a game or two if you can’t make a certain game. As you own the tickets, you can sell them on Stub Hub or whatever you choose if you can’t make a game (they also have a plan where you can donate your tickets, give them to walk-up military personnel, etc.).
-We have not historically messed with all the “dynamic pricing” on the regular season tickets and calculated the minor variations in the relative cost of each set of 20 tickets-we split the cost and fees four ways evenly. We would consider doing a game-by-game dynamic pricing calculation if it is essential to a new partner.
-When there are playoff tickets, we all chip in on buying them (which means the club gets all your money in Sept). You then pay the face value of each playoff ticket that is used and your balance is refunded (sadly, something we are very familiar with lately…).
-There are very few perks with season tickets these days. The most notable so far is for most of the concerts, other sporting events like soccer, etc. at Busch II you can buy tickets in a presale one day before they are available to the general public (but no pricing discounts).
-Our cost was about $61 bucks per ticket per game last year, haven’t seen this year’s invoice yet. So, this 20 game share will cost approximately $2,477.25 ($61.93 per ticket). I will pay invoice January 11 and need partner’s shares of payment at your earliest convenience. We are not asking the new partner to pay 1/4 of the Founders Seat PSL we paid for the seats ($5,000). Pay me by local check or cashier's check.
-If you want to talk to other partners about how this has worked out, I am glad to arrange that.
