Waitlist ticket sale... - New England Patriots Forums

Did anyone take advantage of the sale today?
This year the purchase of tickets was limited to phone sales only thru Ticketmaster as on-line was not an option. Due to the continued practice of having to purchase an equal number of pre-season tickets to regular season with a limit of 8 (4pre/4reg). For the 1st time in several years I didn't take advantage as I just wasn't comfortable spending the money for pre-season this year. In the past I've easily either sold the pre-season tix to friends at a reduced rate or taken a someone (neice/nephew) who typically wouldn't get to go to a regular season game.

I'm with you. I passed this year.

Ditto, for the same reasons as well. Not spending double the money with the economy the way it is.

Think so? Yes.

Banking on it? Yes, then I don't need to buy preseason tickets.

I am guessing there will be more tickets than ever on the ticket exchange this year. With the price of tickets skyrocketing, many people won't be able to afford to go to every game this year.
