And now Saturday's game is moved to 11am.


That's a pretty considerate reschedule.

We on here are not the ones you need to convince. We are also just fans and have no say.

I hear you, I was just frustrated and to make it even worse the weather is probably totally fine for Sunday lol.

The weather actually looks much better for Sunday and now Saturday looks way worse. I understand they are trying to be proactive, but weather 4 days out is unbelievably unreliable and the further you move the original game away the harder it is to justify it as being remotely close to a weekend game. And then you do it with less than 20 hours before the game. Lots of people were very upset, I am sure they got tons of calls from people not happy. My opinion is that you don't screw over the customer and you try to make it right etc. But I guess plenty on here don't care at all


The goal is to get 3 games in without a 7 inning DH so 2 have to be played today and one Saturday or Sunday.

Just convince yourself that the money went to a well deserving charity and move on. It's not worth the frustration.

That's less of an impact than Sunday to Friday early p.m. Weather I get it.

Are they screwing over the customer and not making it right? Are they not assisting you? Don't get hyperbolic, if they aren't assisting then explain, but generally moving a game for weather is not "screwing the customer ".

The Saturday game may be pushed to Sunday, they just wanted as big of a window as possible.

He's upset. He planned a day off baseball for his kids and the game was moved to a time he couldn't possibly make. And he's out the money.

Are they refunding money or giving you other tickets, or are they saying show up Friday or your out of luck?

No refunds or exchanges. Show up Friday at 2 PM or lose your money/tickets.

I'm old enough to remember pass out tickets. We had every single color stashed and ready to go for any game lol.

Going down to the tailgate to get a beer and burger mid game was peak baseball.

Well I agree I think they should do a credit or something for that. Don't blame them for moving the games, but should at least give a credit for other tickets.

Make the cancelled ticket an SRO ticket for any other home game. Easy. ( Nit nearly as good as a refund but it's something)

This is kinda like this: We went to a basketball game in early January on a Saturday and stayed at the A&M hotel. Our room included two free buffet breakfasts Sunday morning.

Went down to eat chow and the restaurant was closed for breakfasts.

But the Hotel was cool and gave us coupons for a complimentary breakfast any time.

See how that works? It's just not that hard.

I get that and understand that. At some point you have to let it go, he's yelling and upset at the wrong no folks, not a single one of us can help reverse his dilemma. Just opinion though.

You aren't. And the people suggesting such are being totally unreasonable -- either to be seen as "cool," upstanding, a "good Ag," or whatever. To fall in line, maybe. I don't know and I don't really care. But if it was their money they felt they were being screwed out of, you'd hear about it in a second.

This is WRONG. Just because it is being done by A&M, or the AD, or at not a very high cost, doesn't make it right.

It's time to form a fan committee.
I'll bring the cookies to the meetings.
Who is going to draft the agenda?
I presume that rain related refunds will be the first item of discussion.

We agreed to it. Why would you agree to something you feel is wrong? Do you do that often? Why?

https://www.12thmanfoundation.com/tickets/ticket-policies/index.html#baseball

Everybody who has purchesed a ticket has agreed to it.

Quote:

Rain Out Policy (Postponed/Rescheduled Game)
If a game is postponed/rescheduled before gates open or between the time gates open and the end of the fifth inning, the ticket from the original game can be used for admittance to the postponed/rescheduled event. There are no refunds or exchanges for rescheduled events. Note: A game is considered complete after five innings of play, and no rain out tickets would be issued.

Rain Out Policy (Canceled Game)
If you purchased a single game ticket from the 12th Man Foundation and that game is canceled and not rescheduled, the original ticket may be exchanged for a ticket to a future regular season baseball home game, subject to availability. Seat contributions will be added to single game ticket purchases when applicable. If a game is canceled with no regular season home games remaining in that season, a refund will be issued for single game purchasers, which includes the single game seat contribution. Refunds will be issued to the credit card on file or a check will be mailed to the address on file. Exchanges can be made at the box office or by phone. Tickets purchased via the secondary market cannot be exchanged through the 12th Man Foundation (with the exception of ADA needs) or refunded. Only tickets purchased directly from the 12th Man Foundation are eligible for an exchange consideration. Note: There are no refunds or exchanges for season ticket holders.



It isn't theft. It's merely unfortunate.

The Battalion can't do anything, nor can TexAgs members. Make an appointment with the AD to express your outrage, only he can enact change.

I offer tickets each year for charity. I state clearly to the winner that baseball is weather dependent and games get rescheduled and canceled. Nothing i can do to change that.

Wife has missed two games this year due to weather.

I lucked out and got a double header on a former work day.

Sorry to OP, but that is how baseball is.
