In a first step toward selling seats in their planned new stadium, the Falcons have begun accepting refundable $100 deposits for spots on a wait-list.

The list is for people who aren’t current Falcons season-ticket holders. According to the Falcons, wait-listed fans will be contacted about buying season tickets in the new stadium after all season-ticket holders in the Georgia Dome have an opportunity to select their seats in the new venue.

The $1.2 billion retractable-roof stadium, to be built immediately south of the Dome, is slated to open in 2017.

The Falcons have not determined when their sales consultants will begin meeting with current season-ticket holders about the seat-relocation process. The team also has not announced prices for season tickets in the new stadium or for the personal seat licenses that will be required to buy them.

After current season-ticket holders relocate their seats, fans on the wait-list will get a chance to purchase season tickets prior to the general public, the Falcons said.

For more information on the wait-list, or to sign up, go to: www.newatlantastadium.com.
