November 2010

I sent this letter when I found out that the organization was planning to raise ticket prices for 2011, despite showing no signs of competence on the field...

I just read an article in the Chronicle stating that you are looking at increasing ticket prices - AGAIN - for next season. And yet, amazingly, you are still trying to sell discounted tickets for the remainder of this year's contests. All of this despite the fact that you haven't put a winning team on the field for EIGHT SEASONS and the current squad has miserably failed to live up to all of your preseason hype, bluster and hyperbole. You talk a big game, but you haven't backed it up ONCE. The current regime is run by hypocrites who have lost all credibility by never following through on ANYTHING.

My family has been going to games since Kezar. I'm the third generation to sit (and pay) for our two season tickets in LR 20. Mark my words - if you raise the ticket prices ONE CENT next year, that will be final proof that you have nothing but disdain for your customers and I will be done with your organization. You should be ashamed to even consider raising prices for a substandard product. Has anybody in this organization ever taken a business or marketing class?

Unbelievable. Just when I think the 49ers have reached rock bottom, they somehow manage to dig another mile deeper into the Earth's core.

PS - I'm still waiting for my playoff invoice - didn't you "guarantee" the 49ers would make the postseason?
