slewis1952 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Ok, I have upper deck seats. I got a letter 3 weeks ago about the process is moving along and so forth. Now its just about mid-July and nothing has happened. Is this "process" supposed to play out until the season begins? How come the pessimist in me feels like something is going on? I have good seats in the upper deck, row 2, middle of the row, 30 yard line. Is that where they are going to put me? Since I have nothing else to gripe about, this is it!

Fah_Q Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I talked to my rep, and he said the 300 level will be eligible to get their seats in August. You're safe. And there will be an opportunity to move up if you desire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorgaboy Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I am in upper prime as well. Just be aware I have looked at the new seating charts and each section is loosing 15 seats in the first three rows to accommodate the new ADA requirements for the handicap. I expect we might get pushed up a row or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Black Dog Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I am in upper prime as well. Just be aware I have looked at the new seating charts and each section is loosing 15 seats in the first three rows to accommodate the new ADA requirements for the handicap. I expect we might get pushed up a row or two.My rep showed me this new "feature" of the upper prime sections when I was doing my relocation for my lower level seats. I was in a section that got "squeezed" in a different way and I guess this was his way of trying to make me feel better - in other words people in the first few rows of upper prime will be screwed as well. My advice is simple: squeaky wheel gets the grease. If you are willing to pay the PSLs, then make sure you are paying them for what you think is a FAIR location. I don't think going from 2nd row to 4th or 5th row is very fair. In my case I was moved from 10th row to 25th row. I got them to improve them to a point where I was satisfied and I purchased.

Kaptain Krazy Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Sec 320, row 11 and I was told my meeting will be in September. fwiw, everyone I know who has had their meeting has bought in. And all of them say their new seats are very similar if not the exact same as their old seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capitalist Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Officially... They say within 10 rows is "comparable"... Bs... Ask to move sections if they won't match row...Nearest I can tell, they match you to a section and backfill... If your old section was 20 seats wide and you sat on row 4, seat 5... You are 65th in that section... If new section is 10 wide, your new seat is row 7, seat 5.... Of course this works to your favor in wider sections like 106...

sportsnut713 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 It also will depend on how many seats you have. If you have more than four expect to be moved back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already told them 4 different times I'm not buying a PSL and they won't give up. Good for them to keep trying but I'm not buying!

notthatcool Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Im in 234 and got an email and snail mail packet yesterday. I have no plans to make an appointment. I am not driving over from Birmingham to see what they offer when I have convinced myself that buying tickets after 2016 is not in my families best interest.I am excited about the next two years and the direction of the franchise. Hopefully Quinn and Co. will make 2015 and 16 good years for me to go out on.I will always pull for the team, I'll just be 2 1/2 hours West when they are playing.

sideline Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 From what I've researched which includes message boards and talking with STHs, there is a pretty good mix of people that purchased vs. those that gave them up. I ended up moving down 20 rows from what was originally offered and purchased my seats. I am currently not living in ATL, but am going to see how this goes as I often travel in for the games. I did not understand the impact nor leverage the benefits of seat relocation (if available) this season which would have helped the location in the new stadium. However, not sure it really would have mattered as there are so many seats available. I'm looking forward to the first season in the new stadium. Guess this will be our last year of "Defend the Dome"! Guess I will need a new t-shirt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsnut713 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 This week will start the 200 level seating. Wonder if they will get the chance to pickup the seats that the lower level season ticket holders passed on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slewis1952 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 I am in 349, row 3. It is the 30 yard line. No, I will not go up to row 10 if that his what happens.Maybe up to 4 or 5 but no farther. If Ihave to spend $2000 per seat, I want what I have now.

I expect we might get pushed up a row or two.I want to clarify this they are loosing 5 seats in row 1,2,3, a total of 15 so mathematically you will probably only get pushed up a row or two.

slewis1952 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 So if I am a 10 year season ticket holder in the upper level prime, row 2, do I get priority over a 5 year holder in my row? By priority I mean does he get bumped a few rows up before I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess this will be our last year of "Defend the Dome"! Guess I will need a new t-shirt!Same here... I fly in from Richmond, Va for almost every game (working on my pilots liscense!) and currently have sec. 135 21st Row. Been a STH for 8 years. I made a point of saying I had to fly in solely for this meeting, made it on a weekend, and that I was only going to be able to come down once.Their initial offer was for new section 128 row 15... I simply asked what was the best seats in the house if I purchased on the spot and they came up with row 4 same section... A week or two later I emailed my rep about the possibility of someone in 1/2/3 not renewing and my ability to snag those seats and she emailed me back a few days later (after some deadline had passed) and upgraded me to the 2nd row, seats 3/4 of 128...I wasn't pushy or anything, just asked a bunch of questions and ended up with polo premium tickets... the PSL cost for founders to me is worth it for 2nd row (and guaranteed super bowl / final four / SEC Championship / etc tickets) but wouldn't have been for the 15th... If you are serious about buying, just ask the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are serious about buying, just ask the question.Very nice! I'm in the section where the opposing team comes out. The first row is row 3 and has two seats. I wanted them but was unable to get them. I believe row 4 only has 4 seats. I am then on the next row. Can you imagine row 1 with no one in front of you or next to you? In my dreams. In my dreams!
