We received a letter in 2005 or 2006 from Wayne Weaver stating we were one of the remaining 5,000 original season ticket holders and thanking us. I remember at the time being amazed at that number.

Yeah, I think that's probaby covering accounts because I got the same letter (2005). I seem to recall during a Champions Club meeting prior to the 2006 season that Tim Connolly indicated that there were between 20 and 25k. I'm assuming he was referring to individual seats and not accounts.
To answer the question in the post above, I've never missed a home game, pre, regular, or post season in the history of the franchise. I thought I was going to miss one in October of 97 because it was the day after my daughter was born.We had so many visitors at the hospital that my wife ordered me to go to the game because I was useless at the hospital, pacing and trying to watch the pregame show on TV. I made it just in time for kickoff. Your wife gets the lifetime award for understanding and leniency. I went to a game in 05 after attending my daughters 5th Bday party. I still haven't heard the end of it. (from the wife or daughter)

| I bought 5 tickets by faxing in the form in the Times Union the day after the NFL awarded the team to Jax. Two of the tickets were for another couple and 3 were for me, my wife, and one of our 5 kids. After the first year I signed over the two tickets to our friends and kept 3 until last year when they practically doubled my ticket price. I still have two. Plus, my kids are now grown adults and a couple of them have their own tickets. We were in the same seats since day one until we went to the relocation event earlier this year and decided to move to the west side. I can't wait to finally see some of the bands from the front.

We had been season ticket holders in other stadiums before we moved to Jax in 1993 and learned not to sit on the side with the sun shining in the eyes, on the wrong side of the aisle when people walking up and down the stairs blocked the view, and in the middle of the row so you weren't jumping up and down letting people go by to the concessions or bathroom.

To take this a step a step further, how many of the original season ticket holders have been to every game? I have been to every game (preseason, regular season, playoffs) except one regular season game in 2004 against the titans. I was given free tickets to the Ohio State / Michigan game in the horseshoe that year and couldn't get back to Jax in time the next day. Hard for me to pass that up. I've been to all but 2 games and got drawn for superbowl tix. The 1st miss was the Nov '95 Bungals game 2 days after our daughter was born... it was either go to the game and leave my wife home alone w/ a newborn 2 days after giving birth, or miss the game and p/u my mother-in-law at the airport (I gladly made the sacrifice in the name of family harmony  ). The 2'nd was last year's game vs. SD.... in Jan, my wife booked us on a cruise for the week of Thanksgiving. I didn't even think about the possibility of missing a game until the tix came in the mail...

I am not..I live in Orlando and was unable to buy them until this year..I have 4 seats in 141 and shall keep them for the next 75 years

It's not uncommon for me to miss pre-season games anymore because they have been on weekend nights and being in the restaurant and bar business it's impossible for me to leave work.

Hmmm. I'm an original season ticket owner, have renewed every season and didn't get a letter like you mentioned. Maybe there's an error with the team's record keeping.

That's the only thing I can think of. Regards............the Chiefjag

I got my tickets on the second day (the phone lines where jammed on the first day). Never missed a year. I did go from regular bowl seating to club seats in ''05 though. You wouldn't think that would cause a problem. I'm actually a little teed off if I'm not "on the record" as an original ticket holder since I am.

No, I doubt moving sections would have caused the problem, but you never know. On the other hand, the letter came via the postal service so it's possible it either got lost, or perhaps someone at your home read it and tossed it and forgot to mention it to you. I've moved sections one time since my original seats so I don't think that would have been a problem. Regards............the Chiefjag
