I have never owned season tickets for any team. My dad never believed in it and I sort of agreed with it. You're paying for tickets up front, for games you probably won't attend.
After last season, when the Chargers committed to staying in San Diego, I thought long and hard about getting season tickets. If 2016 is the last season in San Diego, I could tell people that I was season ticket holder before they moved.
I waited till a week before the first preseason games to start to reach out to the team. I thought I could negotiate with the team based on the fact that there were plenty of available season ticket seats available.
