Seat Relocation – Do I Need to Opt In?

Hi, do I still need to opt in for the sprint season if I want to relocate my seat? In this case at least I get to keep my current seat?

Choosing relocation will push your opt-in date to Oct 30. Your rep should contact you around the 20th to go through your relocation options. Older accounts will get priority. My understanding is that you will still hold onto your current seats until you choose new ones.

What struck me as odd was that my rep didn’t seem to know exactly how this would work. He’s been there for years so he’s not new. But I wonder if they got a LOT of relocation requests.

I assumed there’d just be a window open where you’d go online, see a map of what’s open and do it. But it’s not, it sounds like it’s all gonna be done manually so I have my rep like 10 different seats and told him exactly why I wanted those ones so that if I can’t get them he should be able to find similar ones.

I asked my rep exactly this If your not sure if you want to opt in for the sprint just fill in the relocation. It will extend your opt in to Oct 30 and even if you chose not to relocate your current seats are still safe.

I was offered the same by my rep, extend it to the 30th without completing the relocation form.

They probably wouldn't say no to those who opt out and change their mind so not surprising you got extended without completing the form.

My understanding is if you select seat relocation, you don't need to commit to changing your seat.

No you can relocate and still opt out of the sprint season.

The email you get should have a link, when you open it look near the bottom and there is a relocation button link there.

No. I had this same concern.

As long as you sent in the relocation request, you don’t need to opt in or out.

Where are most of the relocations coming from? The corners to the end lines? And obviously the ones stuck in the new premium club seats. We are in 245 and saw an 80% increase, so I assume some are looking to move further down, as 245 is now considered sideline. We ended up opting in for the sprint, but on the fence for the full season.

I'm in 248 second price tier and am thinking the upgrade to midfield might be worth it. I'll see what's available anyways.
