: : : Last year When you complained about not having any notice you got another year.
: : : now you complain again..
: : : Why should you get a discount forever?..It is a my pleasure to support this athletic program.....despite "fans" like you.
: : : SHUT UP..is what I think of you.
: : Why should I get the discount forever...because that is the agreement I have had for 34 years. ASU made the deal with me 34 years ago and you think I should shut up, you sound like a real great fellow "Sun Devil"!! Do you have season tickets to both football and basketball and how many do you have and for how long. You want me to shut up, I don't think so. And there are fellow fans like me who have their name's retired on Sun Devil Stadium who feel the same way I do. I bought 4 basketball season tickets when I was a freshman at ASU,I could have got student tickets but elected to invest in the future. Then when I graduated in 1975 and the new arena was built I doubled my tickets to 8. Since 1975 I have had 8 season tickets, then last year I bought another 6 season tickets. When ASU built the new arena they told the current season ticket holders that there would never be a Sun Angel Surcharge on our tickets. Then a couple of years later they said if we would agree to the Sun Angel surcharge on our tickets they would agree to always charge us 1/2 of what the current fee would be. That is the way it has been for over 30 years and now you want me to shut up, I won't say what I think you should do!! How dare you insult me and call me a bad fan!! All I want our great university to do is keep their word, is that asking too much? Like I said last year when they agreed to keep their word I bought six more season tickets and gladly paid the current full Sun Devil Surcharge on the tickets. I also bought anywhere from 4 to 6 more tickets to most games so my grandchildren could go too!! So the reason I should get the discount forever is because that is what ASU said would happen. It sure doesn't make you a bad fan because
: : you want them to keep their word. I also have 14 football season tickets and go to most of the away football games and sometimes I put trips together for my buddies and buy 30 or more tickets for the away games. So don't tell me to Shut UP, Mr. Dennis Devil!! I will match my loyalty to the program with anyones!!
: : GO DEVILS!!
: I agree with you completely.....I have had ASU football tickets since 1970, and 6 loge tickets since 1982. I have been going to ASU sporting events since the early 50's with my parents, and am a alum. This year I dropped my football tickets because of the insensitivity and pure disregard for ASU ticket holders by raising prices AFTER the worse team in history.....6 straight losses, and the poor economy. I have had 4 phone calls and 5 emails almost "begging" me to renew. I have lost a lot of respect for ASU and their greediness. I will still go to the games I want by buying individual game tickets, and ASU is still in my will to the tune of well into six figures.....and always will be. But, Crow and Co. better learn something about PR, keeping their word and not just "bottom line". If ASU is so strapped for money then maybe they should curtail some of their expansion for a while and concentrate on giving a quality product to the students, alums, and supporters. GO DEVILS!!

It is not Dr. Crow, it is Lisa Love. Raising ticket prices and then not using Camp Tontozona anymore, which resulted in ASU trying to sell it, is all on her shoulders.
