Grassroots Effort to Help Displaced Who Dats

 Upper Terrace organizes to get more information on seat relocation and temporary solution in 2010 for the 1,200 season ticket holders whose seats were taken away permanently this week. Please join us.

WRITE LETTERS:
Times-Picayune: letters@timespicayune.com (200 words or less); Gambit Weekly: response@gambitweekly.com
Neither paper has published a letter to the editor yet, but if we send multiple letters this week, we might generate interest. Focus on what we're requesting (see below).

CALL THE SAINTS:
If you lost your ticket, you should have received a phone call BEFORE ticket invoices went out. If you did not, call 731-1827 (Thomas Han) or 731-1700 (press 1). Confirm that your seat is lost. Ask when you will be contacted for relocation. Ask how many seats typically are not renewed. Ask where those seats are typically located. Ask how much they cost. If you are not provided with this information, ask to speak to a supervisor. You cannot be expected to make a decision in early May if you don't know how much tickets will cost.

CALL THE SAINTS AGAIN:
Ask to speak to someone about the possibility of a temporary plan for 2010 that guarantees every displaced Who Dat a chance to see the Super Bowl banner drop and other games. Ask about standing room only, ask about temporary bleachers on the field, ask about a pool of season ticket holders donating a game they won't attend for face value purchase coordinated by the Saints. We MUST stay on the front office's radar. They MUST understand that we won't stop requesting information until they deliver it. They must also view us as rationale, loyal fans, not an angry, torch-bearing mob so try to withhold emotion until you hang up.

We're a bit wary of the Facebook here at the Cafe, but jeez, isn't the cause of the Displaced Roofbanger as righteous as the Unknown Who Dat? If that guy can generate 11,675 group members and an offer to wed a smokin' hot Ukrainian bride, can't we create enough buzz to get some media attention and force the front office's hand?

 

If you lost your seats, please post your name, section, row and seat number. We are working to get a list of the accounts effected so we can show that we're already well organized. TWEET, BLOG, AND SOCIAL MEDIATE
Spread the word on Twitter, blogs, or your social media of choice.
