INFORMATION FOR 2002 SEASON TICKET HOLDERS WHO PURCHASED TICKETS THROUGH THE SEs You have the right of first refusal on your current seats in the Nest. The deadline to reserve your seats for next year is December 1. After that date, your seat location will be up for grabs. To reserve your seats, we need a $100 deposit no later than December 1. The deposit must be paid by November 15 if you are interested in half-price tickets for the USA-El Salvador match. You may pay by credit card (strongly preferred) or by check (made payable to the Screaming Eagles). See payment information at the end of this message. SECTION 132 "NEST LITE" Selected seats in section 132 are reserved for those of you who like a slightly less exuberant soccer experience. If you prefer to jump to your feet only when United takes a corner or scores a goal, order season tickets for a seat in section 132. The same great SE discount prices apply. SEATS ELSEWHERE IN THE STADIUM The SE discounted price is good only for seats in the Nest and "Nest Lite." If you want seats elsewhere in the stadium, please contact DC United directly. TICKET EXCHANGE DC United will be continuing its popular ticket exchange program. This allows you to exchange unused season tickets for tickets to other games throughout the year. You know that you will be out of town on a particular game day? No problem. Bring a friend with you to another game, exchanging your unused season ticket for entry to the later match. Even if you miss a few games, you'll save money with season tickets. Ticket exchanges are available only for regular season tickets and games. Exchanges are handled at the SE ticket booth. PARKING Season ticket holders will be able to order discounted parking passes for Lot 8. These orders are usually processed in February. We'll share information as soon as it becomes available.

Do the SEs have plans for the future to attempt to continue expanding across the 100 sections in the lower bowl?
Oh we're aiming higher than that, WORLD DOMINATION BABY!!! But seriously, we don't have any plans to purchase more sections until we can fill the ones we got. K
Gotcha. Well good luck! I know how you feel (to a much lesser extent), as we in La Norte are trying to fill 120.
Question: me and 2 or 3 of my friends are interested in relocating from the Choir to the nest for the upcoming season. What do we do though when we bring other friends or guests to a game and they don't have season tickets? Do the eagles have single game tickets available in those situations?
I have a season ticket in the Nest, and brought friends to many games this past season. Single game tickets in the Nest can be bought on game day from the SE Booth outside the stadium. I never had a problem getting a hold of extra Nest tickets when I needed them. Of course, availability of single game tickets next season will depend on how many season tickets get sold. Hopefully the Nest will be sold out, but I'm thinking that chances are pretty good that you'll be able to get extras when yu need them.
I've got two seats in the Nest, and had no trouble getting single game tickets from the SE Booth on the several occassions that I brought extra folks along. The closer your seats are to La Barra, the more the "seating" arrangement deteriorates, so I never had any problems standing with my extra guests.
