I have a group of friends that have season tickets in section 444. I'm trying to get a seat with them this year cause I don't want to sit by myself and lets just say the Cards don't make it easy. You would think for a team starving for ticket sales, they would jump all over it.
I think you misunderstand the situation.
Since 2007 was sold out, as of today, all seats are spoken for the Cards' 2008 season. They can't sell any new seats yet.
March 26 is the deadline for existing season ticket holders to put down their 1/3 deposit. Once that deadline passes, then seats become available.
After the seats open up, seat upgrades and requests to re-seat from existing ticket season holders are filled. These requests have to be put in before Mar 26.
Once that process is done, waitlist requests are filled. It costs a $200 non-refundable deposit to waitlist to get higher priority for new seat requests.
After the waitlist is filled, then any remaining seats will be open to the general public.
You can still waitlist if you want, or just wait for it to open up to the public.
Frankly, given the downturn in the economy, the price of gas, the increase in ticket prices combined with the fact that the Cardinals have out-of-conference opponents that are not attractive to scalpers (save for Dallas) and the novelty of the new stadium wearing off - I would be shocked if you couldn't get a 444 seat if you wait until this gets flushed out.
