A ticket guy reached out to me yesterday about moving seats. I asked him how many tickets overall were available for this year and he said a lot. A lot is a relative term and I don't know if your guy or my guy is closer to the truth, but people get rid of seats for a lot of reasons.
Interesting.. 4% of 70,000 would mean only 2,800 non-renewals.... I too wonder who is closer to the truth
2,800 seats being available is a lot, but I suspect most of those are the $250-$300 seats. I would think long and hard before giving up seats in the loge endzone or plaza endzone or between the 20s in the terrace. That's where the value is. I doubt very many of that 2,800 would be "good" seats, meaning affordable with decent views.
It could be 4% of owners who might have more seats.
That would shock me. I know a lot of people who gave up tickets before last season and even more who did so after last season. Some complained about the inconveniences surrounding the renovations, to the poor play on the field. However, more than a few were concerned about the safety of themselves and their vehicles, which is a shame. I have had my seats for over 35 years and I have heard of more people giving up their seats than I had heard in quite some time.
I got an email a week or two ago asking if was interested in relocating. I already have 50 yd line aisle seats on row 5 of the upper box. Wouldn’t trade them for any other seats in the house at that price point. Figured it was a mass emailing.
IMO, the 96% seems more likely.
Not when the people you know do not show up the next season. Unless they sold their "rights" directly to someone else. In that case, it would be considered a renewal by the Saints. 96% seems high regardless.
But to act like 50% or more are canceling?
I was relocated last year due to the removing of the upper box corner a few years ago. They call every year now and ask if I’m still looking for a better spot than where I am at now (upper box corner one section over from the removed section). I’m not a fan of a few things the saints have done in regards to tickets the last few years, but they have done a very good job reaching out about seats before the normal relocation window opens.
No, not nearly that (not sure where that came up), but probably a bit more than 4%.
Man, I really had to think about that one for a few minutes, but I think the math works out the same way.
