Attention Dallas Cowboys season-ticket holders: Sales for seats in the new stadium are about to begin.
Team officials said Tuesday they plan to mail information packets to the Cowboys' 15,000 season-ticket holders as soon as Wednesday, outlining how to get first dibs on similar seats at the new Cowboys' new Arlington stadium when it opens in 2009.
Season-ticket holders who currently have the best seats at Irving's Texas Stadium – located in the lower bowl – will get the first shot at the seats in the new Cowboys home.
In the new stadium, the comparable locations will be "Club Seats." The 15,000 club seats will be roomier (21 inches wide compared to 19 inches for the regular seat) and come with access to premium parking, access to air-conditioned clubs and upscale dining options.
They also come with a hefty price tag: $340 per game, plus a 30-year personal seat license or seat option payment of at least $16,000 that will go to fund the Cowboys' $675 million portion of the stadium.
The personal seat license, which may be transferred and sold as an asset, gives the holder the rights to buy season tickets each year for 30 years.
Folks who have seats in the upper bowl and end zone areas will be able to buy seats in February. Cowboys officials said Tuesday they didn't have pricing details to share for those seats.
Non-season-ticket holders won't have a chance to buy a seat until June. Those fans will be able to get on a waiting list starting in early December after paying a $100 non-refundable deposit.
