When Seattle Sounders fans return to CenturyLink Field for the 2021 season, there will be a few thousand fewer of them.
The Sounders sent an email to season-ticket holders in the 300 sections on Wednesday, informing them that their sections will no longer be available and offering them the chance to relocate for what sounds like no additional cost.
“We know this transition doesn’t come without challenges,” the email read. “To make the shift as painless as possible, we want to extend additional benefits for the 2021 season.”
Among those benefits are early access to relocating their tickets; a “price lock” that allows them to select more expensive seats for the same price for 2021; exclusive access to a meet-and-greet session with GM Garth Lagerwey and President of Business Operations Peter Tomozawa; and a 10% discount off 2022 season tickets.
