NEW YORK RANGERS 2012-13 Upgrade Process Instruction Manual 1

Based on feedback from Season Subscribers like

you, we are pleased to introduce a state of the

art 3D technology that will allow you to participate

in the upgrade process online instead of over the

phone. This unique and interactive tool will provide

you the ability to view and select the best available

seats according to your individual preferences

directly from your computer. It will also allow you

to access available seating any time after your

appointment day and time so you can continue

to search and upgrade your preferred seating

locations for the upcoming season.

Access to the online upgrade tool will be accessible

via My Rangers Online Account Manager. We

encourage you to take a few moments to read

through this instruction manual so you can

familiarize yourself with this new process. If you

feel uneasy about using this interactive tool or do

not have access to your My Rangers Account

Manager, don’t hesitate to contact your Dedicated

Experience Manager. As always, all potential

seating assignments are subject to ticket availability.

If you require accessible (ADA) seating due

to a disability, please contact your Dedicated

Experience Manager or the Dedicated Experience

Team by calling 212.465.6050.
