Patriots Individual Game Tickets Go on Sale Tuesday

Are you ready for some football?

The New England Patriots officially get back to work on Thursday, July 26 when training camp for the 2012-2013 NFL season opens in Foxborough.

Fans looking to catch some of the action live at this season have another date to circle prior to the start of camp - Tuesday, July 17.

Individual game tickets to the Patriots’ home games this year will be made available for sale through Ticketmaster on Tuesday morning, beginning at 10 a.m.

The New England Patriots annually cap season ticket sales, leaving a limited number in reserve for Patriots fans who wish to attend just a game or two each season. Those tickets will be released for sale through Ticketmaster. Visa, a proud sponsor of the National Football League and the New England Patriots, will once again be the only form of payment accepted for Patriots tickets.

All ticket orders will be processed through Ticketmaster. Tickets will not be sold at the Gillette Stadium Ticket Office. Ticket orders can be completed online at ticketmaster.com or by phone by calling (800) 745-3000.

In recent years, all regular season tickets have sold out within minutes. If that occurs again this year, 2012 will mark the 19th consecutive season that the Patriots have announced a complete sellout prior to the start of the regular season. The Patriots’ streak of consecutive sellouts is currently 193 games.

The streak began in 1994, the year that Robert Kraft purchased the franchise. The streak includes all preseason, regular season and postseason games since Sept. 4, 1994.
