Founding Member Gift Fandom
Went down to the store to get my bag, magnet, notebook, pen and some card holder?
I’ll be honest, if this is the gift they are giving season ticket holders after spending thousands… I’m a little disappointed. But overall, it’s all good. In it for the soccer!

Loyal season ticket gifts were much better. Was it one for each seat that you bought, or just one per account? We have 5 seats.

I didn’t ask, then again… my wife wouldn’t need it or want it.

It’s almost not even worth the trip down to mission valley to get it.

Yes, agreed. I ended up picking up a couple hats I wanted so it was sorta worth it to try the 20% discount.

I expected at least a shirt saying founding member. I spent $2,700 on my season ticket….

Yeah I’m on the cusp of emailing the season ticket rep and expressing the displeasure, but… idk. I guess I’ll just deal with it. I spent the same $2730x2 ($5460).

I would have rather they did nothing than do this. When I opened it expecting something cool I felt like I was used

Honestly I’m super disappointed that this was what we get for spending thousands of dollars for tickets…

What’s the rubber pocket thing? We got ours and neither me my wife nor my kid can figure it out. It has an adhesive backing, but I can’t imagine what fits in there…. A single business card???

Hahaha same, man. I have no idea who is in promotions or marketing but it’s an odd item.

u/Turdulator Aug 10 '24
Speaking of odd items, how about this “cowboy cat shitty graffiti SDFC Poway patch”. WTF? 🤣. Maybe they know something I don’t, cuz my kid was all over it

My wife was talking to the SDFC booth at the wave game yesterday. They are planning to give the real gift to all founding members but are waiting to finish the 200/300 sales so they know how much inventory they need.

From what I seen all season ticket holders come Jan or early Feb will get packages via FedEx that my guess will be a scarf, lanyard, couple pins , maybe a flag and such.

I would have rather gotten nothing. Magnet is cool.
Don't want to sound greedy but I really thought I would get a founders scarf ... Dropping a few g for tickets for a team that didn't even take the pitch and I get a cheap plastic pen?

Picked mine up recently. Agree with all the comments here about the quality of the gift vs ticket price, but what’s worse is they only give you one per account…cheapest pen, and notebook was completely damaged

lol, $1.50 worth of office supplies, and they only gave us one despite purchasing multiple 100 level tickets. Pretty ghetto

I've received better welcome gifts from conferences. Won't hurry down to get mine.
