All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

The New England Patriots have won a bid to get the names of all the fans who bought or sold - or tried to buy or sell - tickets to home games through online ticket reseller StubHub Inc., a move one technology group sees as an invasion of privacy.
In a lawsuit against San Francisco-based StubHub, a subsidiary of eBay Inc. (EBAY), claiming that the Web site encourages fans to break state law and violate team policies, The Patriots said they could seek to revoke season tickets of people who use StubHub.
And get new seat licenses from people who buy seats recovered.

Some would think this is a brilliant idea!
The Patriots don't use seat licenses. They built the stadium without them. They do have outrageous ticket prices, highest in the NFL. However, that was the trade-off for not having seat licenses.
Basically, the ticket says the purchaser can't re-sell it at a profit if they can't go to the game, only at face value. However, scalpers are using Stubhub to re-sell tickets at high prices, and the Patriots sued. The Patriots want the list so they can revoke the season tickets from scalpers. With a waiting list 50,000 strong, they can do that.

one bad season and that waiting list will drop frok 50,000 to 10 overnight.
They have sold every game out since 1993. There were a few bad seasons in there.
Excitement in '93 over the coming of Parcells and Bledsoe sold the tickets.
Since that time, they've only had 2 losing seasons (and they went to the SB following the first losing season so it wasn't a real test of support). Not exactly alot there to disprove the bandwagon theory. When they have sub 500 seasons for a few years in a row, then we'll see how long that waiting list is.

not to mention that 9 of those seasons were at the old Foxboro which only held 60,000. A metropolitan area of 3.5 million people selling 60,000 tickets is no real accomplishment. Buffalo's metropolitan area is about half that and we routinely sell out a 73,000 seat stadium even with an awful team (and it used to be 80,000 before the renovations). Even Gillette only holds 68,500.

Yeah they will have an entire city of Mr and Ms Cynicals.
You can sell out a game, but that doesn't mean they all show up. They didn't fill the seats until they won the S.B. That's straight from my friend Tim who's been a season ticket holder for over 20 years.
I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!
That depends on what you consider their "ticket base area". The Pats are a regional team, so they pull fans from a wide area. Foxboro is about 25 miles away from both Boston and Providence. Both are large cities.
