    How the Giants Allot Super Bowl Tickets to Season-Ticket Holders

    paulkatcher:

    As a Giants season-ticket holder, I’ve been asked often if I’ll be able to buy Super Bowl tickets. Here’s a letter I got from the Giants on how their lottery works.

    January 2012

    Account Number: xxxxxxxx

    The allotment of Super Bowl tickets given to the participating Teams is very limited. In order to distribute tickets for purchase as fairly as possible to our Non-Club Season Ticket Holders, we conducted a drawing by a random computer selection that was weighted by seniority. In order to be eligible for the drawing, your account must be in good standing. However, as in all drawings, there are no guaranteed selections; and unfortunately, your account was not selected for an opportunity to purchase tickets to Super Bowl XLVI.

    For each year that you have held tickets in your name, your account number was entered one time. For example, if you have held tickets in your name for fifteen years, your account number was entered in the computer drawing fifteen times. If you have owned tickets in your name for three years, your account number was entered in the computer drawing three times. If your account has been in your name since Yankee Stadium, your account number was in the drawing forty-six times. If your account has been in your name since Shea Stadium, your account number was in the drawing forty-one times. Therefore, the longer you have been a ticket holder the greater the likelihood of your account being chosen.

    We thank you for your support and look forward to a great 2012 season.

    Sincerely,

    New York Football Giants
