The New Orleans Saints announced Thursday that they have received fewer than 120 messages from ticket holders requesting refunds in the wake of the city’s policy requiring proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 result for entry to Caesars Superdome and other indoor venues around town.
The team adds that those refund requests run against thousands of interested buyers looking to pick up season tickets should they become available, so they have chosen to reverse course and allow loyal fans the opportunity to visit home games. Any refunded tickets will be made immediately available to the Saints waiting list.
Season ticket refunds requests must be made by Tuesday, Aug. 24 at 4 p.m. CT, one day after New Orleans’ first home preseason game with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Season ticket holders are advised to contact their ticket representative.
In brighter news: the Saints have received clearance from the city to fill Caesars Superdome to its maximum capacity so long as health and safety protocols are followed. The team did so successfully with limited capacity during the 2020 season and is taking steps to safely bring fans together in 2021. Ochsner Health Systems is partnering with the Saints for on-site vaccination on game days. Stay tuned for additional updates.
