Just got off the phone@ approx. 12:25 PDT. Monday, 25th of June.

Season Tickets: Nothing available in Lower Box or Lower Reserve. Maybe a few isolated seats in Upper Box. Most seats are available in the Upper Reserve Endzone areas.

Single Game Tickets: No dates anounnced yet. Will be only available thru Ticketmaster. Available seats will be in the Upper Reserve Endzone areas. Keep in mind that those already having Season Tickets will have a 'pre-sale window' (usually 48-72 hours) in which they will be able to purchase single game tickets before the general public. What's that mean? High demand games: MNF Home Opener, SEAHAWKS, RAMS, and a couple of the non-divisional games will be almost not available to the general public.

Best options for non-Season Ticket Holders: Season Ticket Holders, eBay, craigslist, and ticket broker sites...in that order.

STH's: Usually have best locations and may or may not be your best value.
Might have the pre-paid parking pass. Compare net price of sale
vs the other options.

eBay: Wide variety of seating locations, payment options, safeguards for
buyers (feedback and ratings). Make sure to figure total cost (s/h).

Craigslist: Local sellers (face-to-face or distance), variety of seating/price,
most transactions are immediate cash for tickets. Some will
work with you on paying (deposits or payments).

Brokers: Usually most expensive, variety of seating locations, pay buy CC,
watch for buying fees.

Once the STH's actually recieve their tickets the availablity will increase a lot. The closer you get to the season, competition will increase amongst buyers. Closer to the game the competition amongst sellers.

When seats open to season ticketholders, are they basically just the ones that are left for sale as season tickets (meaning only endzone seats will be available) or do they offer LR seats?

Whatever is available, but as mentioned before, the will most likely be the Upper Reserve Endzones.

Last year I used the STH pre-sale to purchase 4 extra seats to the SEAHAWK game (Jerry's retirement ceremony) and got seats in Upper Reserve Nortwest corner of the endzone. Keep in might they had only won 4 games the previous season. This year I suspect selections will be slim.

Sounds like the days of old when i lived in the bay area in the late 90's when i had to buy an upper reserve tix for 100 bucks because the games were sold out, its funny how easy it was to buy tix when the niners were losing, and now all the bandwagon fans are back and buying up all the tix, I'll stick with my Directv and going to the game when they come up here to seattle. Go niners

I am going abroad for 3 weeks with no real internet access. Any idea when season tickets arrive or when that presale will start? I am back on July 18th, hope I do not miss out on the chance. I want extra Arizona and Cinncinati

I can't be positive, when the STH's pre-sale is, tickets will probably arrive about the time you get back.

Since the 1st pre-season game is August 13th, you may be cutting it close for the pre-sale period.

Sending PM with other info.
