Re: In case anyone is interested in Season Tickets, just got this updated email.

I got in on a similar deal 3 years ago(the tailgate package), the upcoming season will be my 4th year having these. The deal was I got to skip the season ticket waiting list and get lower level bowl seats. I got to take a private tour of the stadium (the wife, me, and the sales guy) and he showed us which seats where available. We got to tour the locker rooms, coaches offices, and premium boxes as well. So I guess your wondering what the cost was, heres the breakdown:

$1500 (1 time fee to jump the waiting list)
$99 (Section 129 aisle per ticket per game) X 2
$350 (Red parking per season)
$50 (Tailgate pass per ticket per game, this is the shitty thing)
plus taxes and $20 to have tickets fedexed to you.

If I wasn't stuck with the stupid Tailgate passes for life Id buy these every year, but the extra grand I gotta throw down for a lousy all you can buffet is kinda expensive. Last year the total for our 2 tickets was around $3600 I believe. I love the seats they are great, section 129 on the aisle on the 128 side but the tailgate is the killer and they are near impossible to resell. Otherwise if I were you Id try to get in on this deal if your seriously interested in purchasing tickets. Call that same guy up and tell him you heard about buying the tailgate passes and lower level season tickets, theres no contract. Damn now I sound like a salesman. Good luck.

Thanks. That's better b/c no 6 year contract that goes up 6% each year. I will give him a call and talk turkey. Definately serious about becoming a season ticket holder.

Funny:

When I asked the guy how sales were he said they were picking up now that Fassel's name was out of the mix. SWEAR TO GOD HE SAID THAT. People all over Reskin Nation were pissed off about Fassel, maybe Snyder did back off due to fan kick back? In any case fans love ZORN!

my buddy that works for the skins says that moving tickets is really tough right now...lots of upset skins fans.

as for the tailgate club- avoid at all cost. Its a complete rip off. Its sad becuase it really wouldn't take much effort on the Skin's part to make it a great time. provide better food, and relax the booze prices a bit and you might do better profit wise (volumetrically speaking).

I agree that it wouldn't take much to majorly improve it. I could honestly do without the 'free gift' every game upon entry. The little amount of money you save there upgrade the food a bit. The beer prices are $2 cheaper here than inside the staium but they are still overpriced. But its the best option available IMO because there is no contract and you get lower bowl seating. Otherwise enjoy the view from the top.
