I called the ticket office asking for my rep to find out they he left. I got no notice of this nothing, and it does not appear that I have been assigned a new one. Has anyone else experienced this?

My last 3 reps left. No big loss because the last 2 were useless. I had a female rep that was awesome. She was pro active and assisted whenever I had questions or requested a tweak to my tickets.

Needless to say the ticket office has been an abomination for the most part since I have been a season ticket holder.

I got a call from a new rep the other day but it went into voice mail. I have not returned it yet because my group is still undecided as to who is going and who isn’t this year. It was sort of a strange message suggesting I callback “today” to not miss out...

I've had 3 reps since this time last year. I only got a call once when the new one took over.

Ticket reps are allowed to quit without giving notice to RU season ticket holders? Shocking news, really.

Those lazy and ill mannered young people, dragging this country down to lower standards of behavior lol.

I got an e-mail containing a link to my season ticket renewals. After logging-in, the page that opened listed the name and contact info of my new ticket rep.

I have had the same rep for, I think, 3 or 4 years now, which is pretty good by RU standards
(Nicole) I have no complaints, she has been
easy to reach, and helped me with a couple of
changes this year..... and she called me the day the football ticket renewals came on line

@RUgrad75 called the ticket office in early January. She was told at that time that they were "reassigning the new reps to account holders"...that was part of the delay in getting renewals started.

the problem is that no one gets up one day and says " I want to be a ticket rep for the rest of my life". it's a stepping stone to some other job. something to pay the bills. there will be a lot of turnover and attrition and we'll have new reps every year or so.

Update to my earlier post; the new rep only displays if you follow the link called "Your Personalized 2019 Rutgers Football Webpage," from your renewal e-mail.

My ticket rep has been great - very helpful and proactive. The ticket office is another story - a total and complete mess. Then there is the website - The ticket purchase and account service areas are something out of the late 1990's. Hobbs is ultimately responsible for all of these services and like many of the details on game day he has failed horribly.

I really don't think that he was expecting the rep to call but maybe some sort of contact from the ticket office itself at some point...but I think you knew that.

My guy gave me his cell phone. Must have been a company phone cause when I called him somebody else answered and I thought I had the wrong number until they told me Matt was gone.

If Rutgers wants to manage their "valued season tix holders" like a shopped out service in Pun, India that's fine. But if they really want to treat them like a valued core group they could be a little pro-active and reach out. Even just an email like Hi, I johnny. I'm your new rep and I look forward to blah, blah, blah.

And yeah, they're a shopped out service but still an agent and reflective of the school.

and oh yeah, yeah. Once again it isn't the young reps. You're right. It is the leadership (or lack of).

Had a great convo with the new young man who just graduated from RU. So much that I requested he be the guy going forward. But warned him I would not be his best sell so don't make the switch until after I drop 3 of my 4.

our old rep, Analisa, was extremely pro-active. used to call to say when tickets were going on sale, called a few times during the year to check if we needed tickets for away games. But that's when it was in-house. It's been a downward spiral since she left.

Our last rep, Brian, left but no one bothered to change his voicemail. So when I called in August looking for tickets to Kansas I left a message..and then another...and then I found out he had left by reading something here on the boards.

its never been the same since Meg left

I liked Meg Bloomquist when she ran the ticket office. Always was helpful in getting tix for me. Not sure that her and Mulcahy got along as she left after Bob was on board. Apparently Bob wanted a more professional ticket operation instead of the one he inherited. We are still searching for the holy grail of ticket operations at RU.

It's a job that chews up and spits out people even at much more successful organizations/programs than ours.

That girl is going places.

Miss her and Lisa Gonzalez from the Scarlet R.
The price of the seat cushions went up again.
Someday I bet they will be either mandatory for Season Ticket holders or you won’t be allowed to bring in your own.

I can't find any indication that parking went down.

And - funny thing - the PP totals that they're showing for parking eligibility are the 2017 numbers, as opposed to last year's numbers which were significantly lower.

I haven't received anything yet, no phone call, e-mail, carrier pigeon and I've been a season ticket holder since 2001. I guess they don't like me. That's OK I'm used to it by now, I've given up on Rutgers customer service.

I got a phone call from my ticket rep just about an hour ago. However, she was from Navy Athletics. I have received more attention, great customer service in my first year as a season ticket holder for Navy than 30 years at Rutgers. Sad.

seriously? parking went down but seat cushions went up?

Cushions went up from $50 to $55

Parking for Scarlet/Green/White/Yellow went from $60 per game to $50 per game -- where they were before last year's ill-advised price increase.

I just got an email from my college bookstore (not Rutgers) telling me that their records show I haven't ordered my textbooks for spring semester yet. I graduated 35 years ago.
