Pats fans will get their chance to snag tickets to individual games for the 2008 season on Friday at 9 a.m.
The New England Patriots annually cap their season ticket sales, leaving a limited number in reserve for fans who wish to attend just a couple of games each season. Those tickets will be released for sale through Ticketmaster. Check out the 2008 season schedule below.
Tickets will not be sold at the Gillette Stadium Ticket Office. Orders can be placed online at
www.ticketmaster.com or via phone, though the numbers vary by area code. Fans in the greater Boston area can call 617-931-2222.
The only form of payments accepted will be Visa or debit card. Purchases are limited to eight regular season tickets per person, with no more than four tickets to any one game.
The tickets are expected to sell out quickly, making it the 15th consecutive season the Patriots have sold out tickets before the start of the season.
The Patriots streak of consecutive sellouts is currently 149 games and began in 1994, the year that Robert Kraft purchased the franchise. The streak includes all preseason, regular season and postseason games since Sept. 4, 1994. If the Patriots sell out every game again this season, the streak will extend to 159 consecutive games by the end of the 2008 regular season. The Patriots season ticket waiting list remains in excess of 50,000 fans.
