Before they made that announcement, I was told I could be getting an email as early as the fall but could be up to 3 years.
Now I expect the 3 years is more realistic.
I signed up in late 2003.
Over the years, I have come to the view that Boston/New England fans are not really so different than fans in many other cities. I and many others make noise, but it is not enough and it just dissipates. I am no engineer, but I suspect there is a real stadium factor in Gillette (e.g., people in red seats going inside, open roof, etc.) that prevents it from getting really loud. And it will be quieter now that Kraft has removed end zone seats for a bar.

The "ding" has been removed thanks to this explanation.Not sure why TuneScribe dinged me for being honest. Oh well, just a message board
I waited 12-13 years for my season tickets to arrive, but I haven't had any issues acquiring
seats in the last few years anyways. I re-connected with an old boss who had picked up a pair of seats in the 200s from his brother-in-law. Between this, and the advent of the ticket exchange - I can get my fill of of face value tickets anyways. So, when my seats in the 300s arrived, I was happy to be done waiting... yet still a bit dissatisfied at the same time. So, I dump about half on the ticket exchange If I don't find a buyer amongst my friends/family and coworkers. It's just not worth putting in much effort when I can unload them on the TE in a matter of minutes.

Thanks, I appreciate that. AND I love the lanyards as well. I give them away to the coworker/family
member/friend who buys the most tickets from me
No, they get the biggest booby prize ever -- Jets tickets. They'd be better off if the package just blew up in their face when they open it. Instead, their misery, pain and embarrassment will be delivered incrementally, September-December. The most astonishing part of all: they actually PAY for the privilege!what do Rat fans get? a dried piece of pig intestine for a lanyard? A Buttfumble Through The Years book?

I signed up in 2007 and am not expecting to have season tickets until Brady retires and the bandwagon gets a little lighter
Pats Ticket Office said:To give you a point of reference, this year we are offering season tickets to those members who signed up on or before early 2002
Back in February 2014 I asked the season ticket people where they were (chronologically) on the waiting list. They told me:
