Gordio Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) I was a season ticket holder for 12 years before dropping them before the 2011 season. I got a call from my old season ticket rep yesterday at work saying that he has a great deal for me. He said I could purchase season tickets for the year for $225. Now the seats he was offering me were not great, in fact they are probably the worst seats or one of the worst seats in the house but spoke with 2 of my friends that dropped the seats along with me & they were like for that price let's do it. After hearing the price I thought they would be in the Rockpile(which if they were I would of been estactic) but he said no those are all sold out. They are in section 308 right on the ailse towards mid field row 31 which are a long way away from my old seats(section 108 row 21 right on aisle). My reasoning for renewing last few year I have went to 3 games each season and although they were better seats that I would sit in (always lower bowl between the 20's) I was spending $100 per game on the ticket. So for $75 less I get the whole season. Me & my friends will muck it up with the rift raft up in the nose bleeds. We will see how it goes. I doubt I go to every game but for this kind of money who cares. & if by some miracle they are still in playoff contention come December, I guess I will have to buy myself a pair of Carharts because it is going to be f*cking cold up there. haha. Anyways, even though these seats are the worst a season ticket holder could have, it feels good to be in the season ticket club again.

Anyways, even though these seats are the worst a season ticket holder could have, it feels good to be in the season ticket club again. I just bought 2 more seats in those corner nosebleeds. (Up to 8) They aren't that bad. You actually see the game better there than in the Rockpile. I agree the wind is more brutal up there. I only get to 3 games a season but I've had little trouble getting something for my unused seats. I even got something for the pre-seasons. (Thanks, Steeler fans) I look at it like the stock market. Buy low. As long as I can stay out of the red I'll keep buying seats. Then all the "real fans" can hate me for preventing them from taking their kids to a game. Sorry. Life can be hard.

PTR How do you get to the games? Do you fly in or drive? If you drive aren't you tired, especially after the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
