At the very least it's when the schedule gets released: https://www.reddit.com/r/xfl/comments/1 ... louis_san/

Was thinking it would be when season tickets go on sale. I’d be surprised if individual game tickets went before season tickets.

I guess I will wait and see where the league takes this in the coming days. But if they are teasing a date for season ticket sales, then why not talk about season tickets instead of teasing a date. They could spend a week telling people about the benefits of purchasing a season pass.

It's probably tickets.

I don't think the XFL will ever have mascots and cheerleaders anyways. I know the USFL has mascots and I think some of the teams (the ones with actual homes anyways) have cheerleaders, but I don't ever see the XFL ever going that route.

Yep... At least point the wrapping is off the shiny new pkg under the Christmas tree... teasing with no clue is not going to get interest up for spring FB. Especially with real NFL camp news and CFB gearing up.
Give something to chew on...

I think you're right on that. McMahon purposely excluded them as unnecessary, and I don't see how not having them has hurt the fan culture the XFL teams have built. I would think if Garcia wants to have more women representing the league, there are more tasteful ways of doing so (think "community ambassadors" instead of eye-candy cheerleaders).

Season ticket deposits are already on sale if you look at the Reddit post I sent, 7/24 is the date when season ticket holders can choose their seats "before the general public on August 1st".

I'm 99% certain it's individual tickets for every team except Houston and Vegas from what I've heard from others... but that's just my word. Also, everything in the marketing each team has released points to that.

EDIT:
Very much now certain it won't be that considering the XFL says TDECU is a renovation issue, not a cost issue. Sucks.

I'm also hearing there will be something else in the announcement as well.

I guess I thought they were still in the process of season ticket renewals (or just deposits) and hadn't yet made them available to the general public. I figure they'd release the schedule first and then some time later release individual tickets. But hey, if they've got the schedule ready to go and can release it already AND start selling individual game tickets this early, that'd be fantastic.
