If you'd gone through what we went through to finally get our tickets you'd feel the same way.


Uhh... no. a fool and his money are soon parted. :beatnik:

Again if the TEAM holds it together and stops the penalties - super optimism.

Improved? That's a stretch. He's been below average at best.

So far he is the king of check downs & is still missing OPEN WR's.

And folks need to stop it with the Carr to Brees comparisions. Drew didn't have a "slow start" to his career in New Orleans. He went 10-6, won the south, won the divisonal rd vs Philly & was one win short of a Super Bowl berth (lost to the Bears) .. all in his very first season in New Orleans.

It think Carr is leaning over that QB cliff with a strong wind at his back.

LOL!!! You are so disconnected, dude. My season tickets are infinitely more valuable to me after 15 years than any unrealistic dream of yours that by forfeiting them I could have any affect on the decision making of the Saints' management.

You are so out of shift with reality that it is comical. LOL!!!

You need to figure out something that YOU can do, if you are so committed, that will have some sort of impact. Give up begging those of us that have what you don't to fight your battle against those imagined windmills.

You don’t understand the “reality” of basic Business. Economics. Supply and Demand. You either boycott a sh*t product, and the owner is forced to do whatever it takes to win back Customer Loyalty though Customer Satisfaction, or you remain satisfied with a sh*t product, and the owner (and management) will continue to get paid (YOUR MONEY) to deliver more sh*t. You don’t have to be an idiot and a masochist, to remain a Fan. You can DEMAND to be satisfied with your team’s performance, unless you’re an idiot and a masochist. You actually have way more (purchasing) power than you give yourself credit for.

How many games do you attend on an annual basis?

I had season tickets for over 20 years. I moved across the country but my dad is still in New Orleans. I moved to Houston after about 10 years as a season ticket holder but my dad was still in New Orleans and I still kept the tickets and I flew or drove in for most of the games. When I moved to California after 4 years in Houston we kept the tickets for some 7 more years and I flew back for games when I could, my dad went to some games, we gave some to friends and family, and we sold some. I was in the dome for the No Call game. After that crushing BS, and having a kid where it got harder to travel, and the Saints struggles that made it harder to sell the tickets to games none of us could attend, we finally decided to drop the tickets. My dad was getting older and often preferred to avoid the cars and traffic and just watch on his big screen, and it was so hard for me to travel much with a young child who had grandparents in 3 different states. It became easier for me to just buy tickets to a game if we visited.

I know what its like to have season tickets. I just didn't wait 15 years for them. I walked up with a credit card when we were talking about drafting Ricky Williams and Ditka was coach. I stayed until Goodell proved it was half rigged anyway. There are a lot of fans whose patience with Dennis Allen may be limited, and at some point if he is the next Ditka, there will be no waiting list and they will be able to walk back up and buy tickets when he is fired.

There's still a huge waiting list. Everyone should know success is cyclical. The list was 50,000 long when we joined. It's still quite long from the last I heard. Tens of thousands of ticket hopeful aren't going to drop out just because of yours and Alonso's hatred of Dennis Allen. The days of walking up with a credit card and getting them just like that are history.

Think of another way to battle that fictional enemy. ;)
