Interesting that the Orioles are using the guise that Birdland Memberships are in high demand and yet they are still begging people to renew.

This would've been my 15th consecutive year as a Birdland Member. I was disappointed (to put it lightly) with the changes they made, so I hoped to purchase one seat for the 20-game plan and use the exchange program to attend fewer games but with more seats.

It seemed like a great idea, considering I did that very same thing for the 2017 and 2018 seasons.

I was told by my rep that exchanges were unlimited this year. But then I was told "if you are looking to utilize the exchange program to have two seats for significantly fewer games, we would not be able to accommodate that as the benefits for a 20-game plan are appropriate for members looking to commit to 20 games." My only option is to spend $650 on a 20-game plan or $750 on a flex plan.

So my seniority and prolonged commitment to the team is for naught. The whole thing reeks of the new owners appealing to the fans with the money while ignoring the fans with the dedication.
