ST Seat Relocation Process

[bresna]

Last year was my first as a season ticket holder and I liked the location of my seats (Sec. 205) but I was hoping to move down into the section so when I saw that I could request a seat change, I applied to give it a shot. The form they have you fill out is very specific about where you want to move, so I was expecting some sort of personalized note telling me that I could move or could not move to my requested location. Instead, I got an E-mail telling me I had a window from 9:00-5:00 to log into my account and make the change.

I went on there at 9:00 on the dot and there were no tickets in 205 at all. Weird... why ask me where I want to move if I can literally move anywhere but where I asked?

Anyway, the end of the story is a bit funny. While I liked my seats in section 205, they were in the sun for every home game last year - all starting at 1:00. We roasted in those seats, especially the home opener against the Seahawks, where quite a few people near us got severely sunburned because they didn't bring sunscreen. So when I looked around the stadium, I found seats in section 236, which is directly across the stadium from 205 on the (mostly) shady side. A little higher than where I was in 205, but closer to the 50 yard line, so I took them.

In the end, I did change my seat, but not at all where I requested. Is that a win/win? I guess. My daughter is ecstatic, as she got roasted a couple of times in my old seats.

If you requested a change and grabbed my old seats in 205, do yourself a favor - bring sunscreen!

Great job. We never changed seats in 20+ years. I was never able to deal with that process. Specific time on a specific day during a work day. Enjoy the new seats!

i moved seats once, when we transitioned from Foxboro to Gillette... they took us from the endzone and stuck us in 225, which was a family section / no alcohol... i called them up and explained that we would probably not get along very well in a family section... they moved us back down to the endzone at that point, to 120... just further away from the field than we had originally had been... one phone call was all it took

I've seen many games from section 225... probably close to 100 at this point, as my cousin has had season tickets in that section since the 90s. She allowed me to buy a lot of games, including several years of playoffs. The lack of alcohol didn't bother me too much, especially since the beer prices are ridiculous and I hate getting trashed during a game.

When I logged in to make the change, there were a lot of seats I could've moved to that were in the 100's towards the endzones, including the one directly below 205, but in my experience, those sections can require a lot of standing. It seems like with the first 3rd down of the opposition, the crowd stands to cheer the D and then they never sit back down until halftime or the end of the game. This was especially true for playoff games. I'm getting too old for that. Plus, they were quite a bit more money.

they are expensive, no doubt, considering when we started, 4 seats for the full season were under $1k
