Red Sox Season Ticket Wait List Update
I've gotten some comments and email over the past year from folks asking questions about the status as a member of the Red Sox Season Ticket Wait List. I get periodic messages from the Red Sox ticket office with special deals that I haven't posted about.
Today I got an official update from the Red Sox Ticket Office on my status as a "valued member of our Season Ticket Waiting List."
The letter provides everything I would want to know. For many years there was 100% renewal of season tickets and no wait list members were offered season tickets. Prior to the 2007 season there were a number of 10-game packages offered to people on the wait list.
Those offered season tickets this year joined the season ticket waiting list between December 2003 and September 2004.
The letter also confirms my membership start date, June 30th, 2006.
So, if each year opens up enough season tickets to process about 1 year of waiting folks, we could theoretically be in the batch to get season tickets staring with the 2009 season. The information I've gotten in the past suggests that this can be seriously accelerated or delayed depending on the success of the team and renovations (adding new seats). Obviously a World Series team garners more season ticket renewals.
I have no idea about the growth rate of the list either. I imagine a lot of folks joined in the end of 2004 and in 2005 after winning the World Series. That will set us back.

My friend just got in, 3-19-08. 10 game plan with rights to one division series game for the playoffs. He joined the list in July 2004. He was contacted via email and had a choice btw outfield grandstand, right field box, and bleachers. Also a choice between tues-fri games, mon-thurs-sat games or tues-thurs-sun games.
The email they sent is very specific about how only 10 game plans will be offered and then you can move to the upgrade list.
I read on a blog that someone from march 2004 got in off the list a week ago just to give you an idea of the pace they are moving at. It is also a good sign that options are still available for those of you still on the list.
It has also been rumored that old game plan holders got moved to the new $75 seats, "Coke section," and were upgraded to 20 game plans. I have a feeling that will be the case for next year as well when the right field pavilion is extended to the outfield.
