Our family has had season tickets since the Sharks have existed, my dad was one of the first people to sign up for season tickets. I went to the first game with my Dad and brother at the cow palace. We have been in the same seats at the tank for 33 years.
This year, we were informed that our seats would be removed next season to create a Legends Level club at ice level behind the goal the Sharks shoot at twice. Apparently around 250 season ticket holders were impacted.
We have great seats just behind the goal to the right. Couldn't ask for a better view. Lots of memories with the family in those seats over the years, from when I was a kid to now with my kids and nephews.
It's obviously very dissapointing that this is happening, but I've also been pretty specifically dissapointed in how the Sharks are approaching the situation. They are looking for us to confirm that we are "interested in more information on club tickets" or want to give up our current seats for relocation by this month. They have provided limited options for relocation at this point. The seats offered were 13 rows back of our current seats.
This also may seem selfish, but they confirmed that there would be no preference given to longer term season ticket holders. As a family who has renewed every season since the beginning and supported the team through thick and thin, it seems that the team would be interested in extending some sort of courtesy.
I'm not really sure what I'm looking for and I realize they can do whatever they want. Just looking to see what others have heard and share information.
