Seat Relocation predictions...

**NodakPaul** · 03-30-2009, 04:49 PM

As we get into April, many of the season ticket holders will start getting their seat relocations if they requested one.
I am wondering how badly the season ticket holder renewal rate is going to be hit due to the economy.

Last year, season ticket renewal was down 20%, and the economy then was a helluva lot better than it is today.

On the bright side, it probably means I will move down into the lower level this year... I was in row 3 of the upper level last year.

I requested my exact same seat.
No reason to move.

I thought about it - I REALLY like the low row upper level seats.
Best view of the action IMHO.
But the wife really wanted to go lower level.
I figure i can give it a try, and then upgrade out of them if I don't like it.
Besides, we noly have a few years left in the metrodome anyway, and I want to say I had seats in the lower level at least one year...

The lower-level bites.
More humanity, longer lines at the trough, worse perspective.

But those t-shirts fired from the air cannon rarely make it to the second level...

Like I said, probably give it a try for a year or so, and move back up if I don't like it.

LOL!
You need to ask Bloody about his "SuperClean!" t-shirt story.

I'm happy with my lower level seats, and I've sat in most upper level sections on the home side of the field.
Nodak, did you tell them "regardless of price", or did you put a limit on it?
My quickest move was when I told them to give me the highest price available.

Stayed with the same 4 seats. Last row of the upper level in the endzone, on the aisle(sec 238 row 24 seats 34-37). Then Bloodyhorns went ahead and bought 2 more seats right across the asle in the same row(sec 239 row 24
seats 1,2), so he could bring the wife to a few games, and invite others from time to time. Because we are in the last row, and have both sides of the aisle we will be able to invite others up to our vip section, they just have to stand(we rarely sit down, part of the reason we didn't upgrade) in the aisle. Should be another great year.

I love rows 20-25 in the lower level

Otherwise rows 1-10 in the upper

Wish I had season tickets
