Makes sense to me. As season ticket holders, we are already more knowledgable and excited about the Cardinals than your average temp. Plus, it gives fans who really need the work an opportunity to make the money to pay for their season tickets.

My first reaction was to laugh, but looking back on it, I think it is a good move.

An attempt by the Cardinals to give back to their loyal fans. It might also help some people who are struggling to pay for their tickets. Win - win for both sides.

Plus, trying to get others to buy game/season tickets is something I already do for free. Getting paid for it would just be a plus.

Man the Bidwills are CHEAP!
This is a pathetic move IMO.
Seriosly Cardinals...what's next...bring our cleats to the game!!?!

Sorry, but this move of having us make calls for them is a joke.
Fans are already firm on their renewal plans...you are NOT going to be able to talk someone into paying!
What have the Cards done other than sit on their rear end so far?
I'd laugh my ass off if I heard one of you guys calling me.

I expect over 50% of current season ticket holders to be dumping or lowering their ticket numbers.

Of our group of 12 seats only 2 are renewing...and these guys have been aroun for years. If they are fed up i can't imagine any new fans sticking around.

So they're cheap by coming up with a seemingly unique marketing process for ticket sales? Telemarketing may not be your cup of tea nor mine but calling them cheap and pathetic? It may not work for them but you at least have to give someone some props for trying.

Sorry, but this move of having us make calls for them is a joke.

No one is making you do anything. If you're a season ticket holder, received the email and don't like it - delete it.

I passed the information onto someone who's looking for a part-time job. Even if they aren't a season ticket holder, it's worth them to know that there may be a job out there...

That's being cheap and pathetic?

You need some serious help dude.

This seems like a great idea and how does this make them cheap, they will be paying for the time

I agree. Might as well have someone selling the product that supports the product.
