The Falcons will play their first regular-season game in Mercedes-Benz Stadium without having met the organization’s long-time goal to sell out of personal seat licenses.
Slightly more than 57,000 seat licenses have been sold, leaving “around 2,500” still available, according to Falcons chief revenue officer Michael Drake.
He acknowledged for the first time that the PSLs won’t be sold out by Sunday night’s game against the Green Bay Packers.
“We’ve still got a little bit of work. It’s about 96 percent (sold),” Drake said. “… Unfortunately, I would have loved to have been completely sold out by Green Bay.
“I’ve always said I think I can get this thing sold out before our home opener. We’re going to fall a little short.”
The Falcons had sold 57,040 seat licenses for a total of $266.9 million as of Friday, Drake said. That included 6,540 club seats and 50,500 non-club seats.
