Being a New England Patriots football fan the last 7 seasons have been good for the many long suffering fans of the team. And really this started prior to the last seven seasons it goes back to the Kraft family’s purchase of the team and the hiring of former coach Bill Parcells. It took a little dip in the Pete Carroll era but came back strong when the Patriots hired Bill Belichick as head coach 8 seasons ago and teamed him with Scott Pioli.

With the a cohesive front office, better talent, improved on field play, a new stadium and of course the 3 Super Bowl Titles the demand for tickets to see the team has soared to all-time heights. It is now very difficult to get tickets to see the Patriots play. As a New England sports fan we love our teams but over the last few years it has been increasingly difficult to see the Pats or the Red Sox at face value.

Red Sox fans, frozen out of sold out Fenway Park, have taken to the road to see the club play. Many Patriots fans have done the same.

The Patriots offer 4 price points for seats at Gillette Stadium. The prices are: $59, $75, $89 and $125. Lower Level seating is $89 and $125, Mezzanine seating is $89 and Upper Level seating is $59 and $75.

The Patriots also offer a limited amount of Standing Room Only tickets for each home game at $49 each.

Doing a quick check of Ticket Master in search of Patriots tickets for the 2007 season I put in for 2 tickets at any price and best location in Gillette Stadium or any of the road games and this is the results I got as of August 31, 2007.

All of the Patriots home games are SOLD OUT for both regular seating in all levels and for Standing Room tickets. These are the tickets that are available through Ticket Master. I’m sure you can find tickets through an agency, broker or private third party.

As for seeing the Patriots on the road every game except one is SOLD OUT. The only game with available tickets at this point is against the Dolphins in Miami. Once again those are through Ticket Master. As I said earlier, if you’re willing to spend the money you can find tickets through an agency or a broker service.

Also a lot of times tickets are released within 48 hours or game time. These are tickets that were generally held for the opposition, the league, sponsors, groups, etc that haven’t been sold and are returned to the team. So it’s best to try Ticket Master again in the final 48 hours prior to kickoff.

Happy searching.
