I would be suprised to see an increase in the next couple of years.
Last offseason about 5% of the season ticket holders gave up their tickets.
I got this from someone I work with who's daughter works in marketing for
the Pats.
I would not be suprised to see another 2%+ give up their seats this year.
Sure the waiting list is deep, but you can be sure the day Brady & Belichick
retire that list is going to dry up quick.
I remember the mile long Celtics season ticket waiting list of the late 80's.
When the big three retired, there was no more waiting list.
Kraft is a smart business man.... He is not going to outprice the product
so that people walk away.
It will only take one 5-11 season to make season tickets available for
anyone who wants to buy them.
You can still get sellouts with season tickets available.
Individual tickets available to fans is good for the fans, but I am
sure it is not the prefered option of the suits at Patriot Place.
