"Thank You for Your Continued Support..." What Support?

UPDATED (3/3/11): I didn't receive anything in the mail from the team yesterday - maybe they actually read my letter...

UPDATE #2 (3/3/11): I just received the letter and invoice (due tomorrow) in my email inbox. So, apparently they DIDN'T actually read my letter...

My buddy, who is also fed up with this organization and will not be renewing his season tickets, scanned the letter and invoice (due in two days) he received yesterday (see below).

Somebody needs to alert the 49ers that being the "Team of the 80's" means about as much as the Chicago Cubs being the "Team of the 1900's" these days and they should stop acting like it's a privilege to pay money to see them stumble through another NFL season.

Rather than concentrating on taking our money, I suggest the 49ers take care of the following three items:
  • Collaborate on a new collective bargaining agreement to ensure a 2011 season
  • Draft impact players
  • Get a quarterback
Maybe, when all of that has been accomplished, we'll consider buying a couple of single-game tickets on StubHub or Craigslist.  Judging from my past selling experiences, there will be plenty of bargains!

I have a feeling this is only the beginning of the Niners begging us to purchase tickets - we'll probably be pestered for mini-ticket packages and single-game tickets throughout the entire 2011 season.

  3. $2,584? Are you joking?

    Get ready, 49er fans: If you even want the privilege of blowing that 2,600 dollars in any new stadium in Santa Clara, you're now up for Personal Seat Licenses.

    Just like Oakland usedta. Worked real well for them, didn't it?
