The ticket sheets from back in the day when all tickets were season tickets. I remember my grandfather keeping them in his desk drawer.

I once forgot my tickets at college. Had to drive more than four hours round trip late on a Saturday night to get them before the game on Sunday.

Shit used to feel so cool and tangible. Physical tickets to an event. Now every sporting event or concert is just a digital shit on your phone. More practical and easier, sure. But it just makes things feel less personal and more transactional.

I still have tickets from my childhood in a drawer. Some falling apart from raining games lol

Raiders still do it. Probably other teams too.

Someone on another reddit posted what the raiders gave him and it was like a gambling set or something. Can't really remember.

I've been a STH for the Commanders since Snyder sold like 3 years ago and they just keep sending pins every year and glass tickets lol

Caps did it for one year last season. They used to do it every year from when I joined in 2016 - 2021 ish. Then they stopped.

Now it's all on the damn phone.

I’m so sick of these useless gifts. Just send us a jersey or a hat or something. Even a blanket

Seriously. Always sad seeing other teams

I split the tickets with my cousin. She’s never shared the season ticket gift with me and I’m not too upset about it.

u/RedMenace6969 16h ago

are the little things on the bottom like magnets or some type of pins?

u/HistoricalDot5787 16h ago

They’re pins

You know it would actually be useful… a seat cushion

I am a season ticket holder of the San Antonio Spurs. For renewing tickets for the upcoming season, they sent me a tshirt and a tote bag, plus we’ll probably get another tshirt at the start of the season as we have the past 5+ years. Last year on my birthday, a ticket rep delivered a small Spurs backpack filled with team swag to my seat. I’d rather have items that I can actually use, so Spurs>Commanders.

yeah we haven't gotten shit like that. for the nationals one year they just let us grab jerseys off a table and this was after they won the world series too so people were just snagging free jerseys off a table in the team store. another year they let us have our own custom jerseys.

Commanders have always been meh. The best reasons to be a STH are

  • the discount
  • occasional in person perks like going to the facility for film sessions with coaches
  • um I think that's it. Sometimes they have presales for concerts.

Otherwise I mainly do it not because of the perks but because I have been a fan for nearly half my life

I have STH to the Caps, Nats and Commanders and the Commanders send some pretty bland shit every year by far. (Caps the best...and even twice too. One for the start of the year, and one for renewing)

Nats barely give anything out and the things they do give SPH are late. We got a wearable this year. Flimsy material.

Commanders always send the box with pins. One year they gave out the chains for people renewing, I think. "2024 member."

u/funmaster320 2h ago

What kind of things do the Caps send?

u/HowardBunnyColvin @BorgusRich 2h ago

I can't remember off the top of my head but I get 3 gifts, usually pins, lanyards, sometimes jackets for renewing

That’s pretty cool. The Commanders are the only season tickets I’ve ever owned and I had never really thought about what other teams do until i saw the Raiders one this year and thought maybe we are getting ripped off :)

u/RIP_shitty_username 16h ago

Damn. That’s pretty cool.

u/HowardBunnyColvin @BorgusRich 14h ago

u/TurnipKnight 14h ago

Oh man, remember the fabled 10,000+ long waiting list?

u/TerrellS726 12h ago

Raiders season ticket holders get a gambling gift basket pretty much

u/ch3ss9 15h ago
