Dolphins Optimistic Of Full-Season Sellout With Nearly All Season Tickets Spoken For

Dolphins President & CEO Tom Garfinkel yesterday revealed that "nearly all season tickets have been sold and he expects every regular-season home game to sell out," according to Hal Habib of the PALM BEACH POST. Garfinkel said that "by the end of next week, all 47,000 seats budgeted for season-ticket packages will be spoken for." The only season tickets left "are upstairs." A maximum of 3,000 to 4,000 individual tickets "remain for regular-season games." Garfinkel: "The renovation of the stadium is exciting and there is a lot of optimism for this team and for what’s been done this off-season." Habib notes "one selling point" is that 70% of the seats "will cost the same or less than last season. For "high rollers," the club "added 32 four-person 'living room boxes' costing $75,000 per season, or $1,875 per ticket." Garfinkel said that they all "went within about six weeks." The ticket demand "illustrates that fans anticipate improvement over last season’s 8-8 finish that marked the sixth consecutive year out of the playoffs." Garfinkel said that he "doesn’t regret slicing Sun Life’s capacity." Garfinkel: "The goal wasn’t to reduce the number of seats because we couldn’t sell them. It was to provide an intimate environment where there were no bad seats to sit in. And so we took out the corners in the upper deck. We actually added more seats in the lower level" (PALM BEACH POST, 8/19).
