My time slot for purchasing parking tickets came up at 10 AM this morning. Unfortunately, all of the tailgating parking spots (Pink Zone) were already sold out at $1,000 for the season (10 games). There were spots available for the oversize lot tailgating, but being that they were $2,500 and us not owning a motor home we couldn't justify the expense. Instead, we purchased a parking spot near our seats (Brown Zone at $700 for the season) and will be looking to hook up for tailgating for the season. BTW I checked out the current resale prices in my section (307) for the season opener against the Cowboys: the $70 seats are going for approximately $700 a ticket! Even considering the Ticketron resale chunk taken out of it, that's insane! š BTW Below is the parking link for Chargers games at SoFi: www.chargers.com/sofi-stadium/parking/?user_id=0034p00002a3tfhqai&utm_campaign=parking+info+(time+announcement)&utm_medium=email&utm_source=sfmc&utm_term=parking+info+cta

Hereās my fear because our home schedule is loaded with well traveling Fan bases and itās based on anecdotal evidence only: Iāve encountered a few people who are fans of the Broncos or chiefs who bought season tickets thinking theyāll go see their team and sell off the rest. I think the prices Joe quoted above bear this out to a degree. May be just an investment for some.
When the Clippers came to LA a lot of NBA fans bought tickets who werenāt Clipper fans just to see their team, sell off games and go to some others. Clippers didnāt really have a good home court advantage . That changed a bit over the years as they became contenders. Maybe that happens with the Chargers. If Herbert is what we know he is and they start winning the bandwagon will grow

Even if they can only get half that ($350)... they can easily sell off a ticket to another game (Chiefs/Broncos/Raiders) and essentially pay off their season ticket purchase. This doesn't bode well for home attendance and home field advantage.

If Herbert is what we know he is and they start winning the bandwagon will growDo "season-ticket holders" have priority when re-newing their tickets at the end of the season...? If so... and their tickets were just an investment anyways... season ticket packages for new-found Chargers' fans may never be available.

Season ticket holders get first dibs on PO tickets too. With seat license, that is what you paid for. You technically own the seats.

Season tickets require the purchase of a Personal Seat License. The seats ābelongā to the purchaser so long as they pay for the season tickets by the deadline before the start of a new season, and you are allowed to sell your PSL like any other commodity.

Thanks, McRugby. How much were the PSL's for the $70 seats? $500 each, and I get the money back ā¦ in 40 years! š At least my kids have something to look forward to. š The Rams season tickets and PSLās were far more expensive, with the PSLās being several times as much.
