We currently have front to back seats and have been wanting to relocate to side by side seats since we signed our contract.
We jumped the cue (position 116 on the Wait List) and took P3 front to back seats when they were offered to Wait List members for the 2012-2013 season (2nd year of the Jets' return). One of the main reasons we accepted front to back seats was "to get our foot in the door" and be placed on the relocation list. We were told that the relocation list is similar to the Wait List and that when "our number is up" we would be notified of any side by side seats that become available at the end of each season (our preference was level 100 and 200 seating).
At the end of the 2012-2013 season, we called our account representative to find out if there was any movement on the relocation list. Since the Ticket Purchase Agreements for the lower bowl were not yet expired, he advised that we were not contacted since only the upper bowl side by side seats were available - which makes sense.
When we contacted our account representative at the end of the 2013-2014 season, he advised that we could now only be considered for Seat Relocation when our Ticket Purchase Agreement expires at the end of 2015-2016 (since we obtained tickets in the Jets' 2nd year). This means that we would not have access to any side by side seats that become available at the end of this season (P3, P4 and P5 seats). We were also told that to even be considered for Seat Relocation, that we would have to renew our front to back seats for 4 more years - even if there is a very low or even no possibility of being relocated to side by side seats. This conflicts with what we were initially told in terms of being placed on the relocation list and having an opportunity to relocate after each season.
Although we are happy to be at the games, we are getting tired of sitting in these front to back seats, while paying the same price as side by side seats. We are very frustrated with the situation and if we would have known from the start that it would be very difficult to relocate to side by side seats, then we would have never accepted the front to back seats in the first place and just continued waiting on the Wait List (or we would have considered indicating Level 300 as a preference to at least obtain side by side seats).
We are planning to contact the organization again to determine if there are any other options available (for example, getting out of our Ticket Purchase Agreement one year early without penalty, putting us back on the Wait List, etc.).
So, we were wondering if there are any other front to back season ticket holders that were also told the same information, that you can now only be eligible for Seat Relocation at the end of your Ticket Purchase Agreement and not at the end of every season if side by side seats become available according to your preference? Also, are you still happy with your front to back seats?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and thank you very much for your time!
