Pats schedule release

When do they release the actual schedule and start selling tickets to the games at the Razor? Wife has vowed that we are going next year no matter what it costs.

The schedule is always announced in mid-April and season ticket holders can then begin reselling tickets if they choose, which also means that the agencies will begin reselling as well. There are few single game tickets sold by the team (almost the entire stadium is season ticket holders) and I believe they go on sale around the same time.

At this point I would just go to Ticketmaster ASAP and do your best

We're going to be looking for 6 tickets for 1 home game next season, this will probably be our one and only opportunity to see a game in person.

You will definitely pay a premium for tickets, depending on the game and seat location. You will be north of $300 apiece and much higher for a marquee game. To get an idea of prices, go to ticketmaster and check what people are asking for this season. I sold 2 games and got back enough to cover 2/3 of my entire package (10 games).

They're still a hot commodity.

The least expensive tix are going to be the last two home games vs. Buffalo and Miami.


Any other game is going to feel like a sexual violation of your wallet.

I know the tickets will be spendy but we are willing to throw down for this 1 opportunity, I just wanted to know when the best time to buy them might be. Thanks for the info so far.

As soon as you can. Don't wait. Especially if you need 6 tickets.



Three of my very expensive games already sold, and the first preseason game hasn't happened yet.


Tick tock.

It looks like you missed the on sale date for tickets. The first time we went I was able to go online and buy tickets the day they went on sale. Our second trip we weren't so lucky and I had to bend over and grab my ankles for Stubhub. I would just pick the game that you want to go to and buy them now. I can't imagine that ticket prices are going to go down.

Best time is tough to nail down, but I would not purchase them soon after the schedule comes out. That's likely when the market will be at it's highest. Many STH'ers do not decide if they want to sell games until summer, so the available pool is smaller in April and May. As the specific game gets closer, unsold tickets will start to come down because the STH'er doesn't want to be stuck with them. My best guess is that August is a safe time for a Sept or October game. My neighbor put up his tickets for the Jets game in September and as of last week, they hadn't sold. He was planning on lowering the price.

If you are going to buy from the secondary market, I would highly suggest TickPic. There are no service fees (where places like StubHub screws you). I bought my Super Bowl tickets from there last year and was quite reasonable.
