The scoop is this...
you won't lose your spot on the waitlist if you decline the season ticket offer as long as you continue to be a hothouse ticket holder.
however, very few season tickets in the greens are ever offered to hothouse members due to their (price) popularity. they are usually claimed during the seat relocation period.
if you had already committed to game packs as a HH member, you can direct those dollars to season tickets.
bottomline...I have now committed to the whites for the upcoming season

and will try to relocate later....hopefully, my tickets won't end up across the aisle from the greens
