Dreadful

The Carolina Hurricanes as a whole organization are the worst. Yes I am bitter! Fan appreciation my ass! They have to give free tickets to get people in the door and treat Season Ticket Holders like we are a dime a dozen. We have had full season tickets for 7 years and probably spent more than $35,000 over those years and since that building is very rarely full there is no one else that would purchase those tickets -  especially for the price we pay!
My reason for the bitterness tonight is I clearly explained to my ticket rep this year that we would keep our seats next year if I received a "Jersey off a Players back", a promotion the team does every year. He called my bluff and no jersey!  Up until last year I always thought random fans won these jerseys...nope! People are pre-selected before the game. So when I told my ticket rep I wanted one and after the time and money we have given the Canes I thought he would tell whoever chooses the winners. This leads me to think only friends get them! I understand that a lot of people would want these and there are people who have been ticket holders longer or buy better seats but as an overall experience I have NEVER felt appreciated by the Hurricanes organization! Yes, sour grapes and bitter but it sucks they still get all they want out of us because to watch live hockey we either have to give them money or move!!! Tampa is looking better and better! Not to mention for a lot less money I could buy a game worn jersey of the player of my choosing!
