Well this is interesting info: I opted out about a week ago. My selection time was to be September 1st. When I opted out it I was no longer able to look at seat selections. This am I get an email saying paraphrasing... "make your selections now."
So I logged on just now. Sure enough, I could see seats again. Given that I've been on the fence about going or not going all year, decided, what the heck lets see whats available. Lots available in Upper North where i usually sit.
So fellas .. I'm in! 2 seats. Row 1 Upper North. THWG!
