MINNEAPOLIS - ST. PAUL -- The Minnesota Twins today announced the team's season ticket seat relocation process, which outlines the season ticket holder transition from the H.H.H.

In conjunction with the season ticket relocation plan, the team has also unveiled the season ticket pricing structure for 2009 (the final Metrodome season) and 2010 (the inaugural season at Target Field).
This week, current Twins season ticket holders will receive a comprehensive relocation guide including the most detailed look yet at Target Field. The guide also includes the club's relocation process, the Target Field seating chart, a sun/shade study, a FAQ section and a Target Field-Metrodome comparison.
"The Twins truly appreciate the support we have received year-in-and-year-out from our loyal and dedicated season ticket customers. It's safe to say no group of fans looks forward to the opening of Target Field more than Twins season ticket holders," Twins President Dave St. Peter said. "This season ticket relocation plan is the result of significant market research and MLB best practices and we believe we will transition our most important fans in the fairest way possible."
