I want to qualify this by saying it's an observation, not really a complaint: I don't know if season ticket invoices were posted on the Patriots' website before Mar. 4, but that's when notices were e-mailed specifying full payment due by Mar. 29. That's 25 days to pony up the approximately $3k for two seats at mezzanine level (in my case), more for lower-bowl folks and a bit less for upper-deckers.
When you're the elite of elite like the Pats I guess you can call the shots however you want. Yes, we're usually invoiced February-ish and yes, this tight window probably had something to do with the Super Bowl. But ideally, a low-roller like me would appreciate an installment payment option similar to what other teams offer -- or maybe a bit more time.
Regardless, I feel blessed for this opportunity entering my 27th year trekking regularly to Foxboro. Time flies.
Here's the note from the Krafts accompanying the invoice:
Last season was yet another banner year for your New England Patriots and we cannot thank you enough for your contributions in support of our sixth Super Bowl Championship!
Since we opened Gillette Stadium in 2002, our fans, and especially our Season Ticket Members, have created a home field advantage that is unrivaled. In 2018, the Patriots were the only NFL team to go undefeated at home, an accomplishment that speaks to the incredible environment you helped create. In fact, it was the seventh time the Patriots have gone undefeated at home since Gillette Stadium opened, which is more than any other NFL team since 1970. While the coaches and players deserve much of the credit, we recognize the importance of our Season Ticket Members and the impact you have on our overall success. We cannot remember another season when our fans were louder or more engaged than this past season, and for that, we thank you.
Coach Belichick and his staff are working hard to assemble the 2019 team, while off the field we continue to use feedback from our annual Season Ticket Member surveys to understand how we can make your experience better. This offseason we are undergoing renovations to improve the stadium and your game day experience and we are excited to announce we will open four reimagined concession and merchandise locations on the main concourse that have been designed to provide even greater convenience, more product offerings and improved access on game day.
Lastly, to honor your loyalty, you, our Season Ticket Members, will be the first to take a picture with all six New England Patriots Lombardi trophies. No one will have that opportunity before you. An invitation will be sent soon for you to register for this experience. In addition, 53 lucky Season Ticket Members will be drawn at random and will receive an exclusive invitation to have their picture taken in our private Patriots Trophy Room at Gillette Stadium. All Season Ticket Members are automatically eligible for this exclusive experience and the winners will be notified by email on Friday, April 12.
The details for your 2019 Season Ticket Member invoice are enclosed. We look forward to hosting you again in the fall and hope to extend our 16-game win streak at Gillette Stadium well into the 2019 season.
