I have the same question. What are those who have season tickets being told? To this point I've heard very little!
My question just answered
Dr. Avegno announces 3,000 fans only for upcoming #Saints game on December 20th (Chiefs) and 25th (Vikings) and 750 fans only for @PelicansNBA opener on December 27th (Spurs) in @SmoothieKingCtr https://t.co/83inKUcnch

Allowing 750 fans out of a possible 18K seems pointless.
I heard something about it being mostly suite rentals at first, but maybe those suite ticket holders will be able to walk down into the lower bowl
If you have not heard anything about your options, you should contact your season ticket rep ASAP. They had an opt out deadline prior to Thanksgiving I think.
STH had several options. 1) REFUND 2) Escrow account for 21-22 or 3) they were allowing STH in on a rotational scale. You'd possibly get to see 5-8 games. The rest of the $$$$ would be refunded or you could put it towards 21-22 season. The problem with the rotational is--> They would notify you 2-4 weeks prior , regarding the games that you have been chosen for. They send you the tix..If you cant make those games , TOUGH! You will be charged. AND, there is no guarantee that you will be sitting in your season ticket seats.

So the FO put most of the onus on the fans to act or lose their money
Real classy
When will the tickets be released ? I’ll be home that weekend for Christmas and I want to catch a pels game.
No, I’m talking 2019-20 off-season. Payton was so mad because 49ers had so many fans in the plaza for the game, he ordered that any STH that had 8 seats or more and had sold a majority of their tic online were to be stripped of their ST’s. They didn’t notify STH or make any announcement. This is a team that partnered with Seatgeek to sell tix on secondary market. So, when the 49ers had too many fans at the game, it hurt Payton’s feelings & the FO proceeded to secretly screw STH!
Oh really? When the Saints stunk for 3 yrs and people were dropping tickets left and right, they gave STH, in order of tenure, the opportunity to purchase as many xtra tix as they wanted. I bought 10 for my family & neighbors. My son, since then along w/ 2 neighbors went into th Navy. I kept the tix. My parents are now in their. 70?s and one has COPD. I kept the tix . I hadn?t missed a game in 11yrs . BTW- The Saints ALLOWED/a offered this. And , the $$ I was able to make from ticket sales helps pay for the 6 THOUSAND BUCKS a year to sit in the Smoothie King Center for 30-35 games a year since 2011. It was a childish move. They didn?t call anyone, notify anyone. They had no idea of circumstance. Payton got his feelings hurt and wanted the other little kids to leave his sandbox. SHORTSIGHTED !
Many teams have done this because of the many STHs who buy up tickets to sell on secondary market. I agree they should have notified STHs of the policy before simply cancelling tickets (if that is what they did). I highly doubt it was Payton alone who made that call though. Also, it sounds like you profited off selling Saints tickets which allowed you to subsidize Pelicans tickets. That is not something that they guarantee when selling season tickets, but I am sure was nice while it lasted.
