Falcons PSLs: about 33,000 sold for $181 million
The Falcons have sold about 33,000 personal seat licenses for the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, generating about $181 million, according to the latest available figures obtained this week from the Georgia World Congress Center Authority.
That leaves tens of thousands of seats for the Falcons to attempt to sell before the start of next season, slated to be their first in the $1.5 billion downtown stadium.
The figures obtained from the GWCCA through an open-records request this week show the Falcons had sold 32,702 seat licenses for a total of $180.98 million as of the start of last month. That included 4,630 club seats for $103.13 million and 28,072 non-club seats for $77.85 million.
Falcons officials hope the team’s winning, high-scoring start on the field this season will stir sales, which a team official said have increased in recent weeks.
