Sabres season ticket renewal - A catch 22?
This past week I received a communication from the Sabres regarding our season tickets. Basically, the letter listed the amount on account for moneys sent in for playoff tickets, then offered three options…
- Have refund sent by check
- Have refund applied as credit to credit card
- Apply moneys towards 2008-09 season tickets
If we do not reply, the Sabres will automatically renew the season tickets and apply the credits towards the eventual bill.
Here is the problem… there is absolutely no 2008-09 pricing information with the letter. So if I ask for a credit, will they assume I am no longer interested in season tickets and give my seats to someone on their list? If I do nothing and they renew me, and my $31 tickets get raised to, say, $100, am I locked in and obligated to purchase?
I tried getting these questions answered and called account services, but could not get a live voice on two attempts.
Just for the record, we have been season ticket holders since the ‘93-’94 season and have always received top notch service from John Sinclair and his crew. Still, it would be nice if the Sabres could communicate pricing plans and their marketing push a little better than this.
If anyone else has pondered this same question and can offer some insight, please feel free to comment.

You should not get locked in for next year. The Bandits do not lock in, they just send an invoice for next years and would most likely refund the money if you requested later on. I would assume it works the same way for the Sabres.
