Last year, they were late in getting the renewal packets out, so there was a delayed due date. (I believe it was in June.) I would expect another delayed renewal date this year.

The season tickets themselves were always something to look forward to. Some of the designs were quite good. Now, with them pushing for electronic tickets, the fun is gone. The paper tickets now are simple, generic Ticketmaster tickets. As long as I can get any paper tickets, I'm fine because I will not accept electronic tickets. If there is one thing I have leaned about Athletics over the years is that if something can go wrong, it generally will. Plus, I usually bring other people with me to the games, and I like to hand them their own tickets. Plus, if I can't make it to a game and want to give my tickets to someone else, there are less headaches for me and them to just give them the paper tickets. If something should go wrong electronically (and it certainly can), the paper ticket is evidence that you've paid to get into the game and sit in a reserved seat.

I forgot something. Remember when season ticket renewals and HAF packets were available at a season ticket holder/donor event before a basketball game in February? Players were seated at a table handing out the packets and there were speeches by coaches and players. It was a nice little event, complete with appetizers and drinks. Ah, "the good old days"!

I prefer my milk delivered by the milk truck. Who knows what happens in these supermarkets. Milk from the truck is closer to the farm.

And I only use a dial telephone!
