Apparently the renewal rate was at about the 95% mark. I know some that post on here were predicting a semi-mass exodus. The relocation process should begin in about 6 weeks but I was told that the upper bowl should have the same movement as they have had recently which is little or none.

Some of the STH seats that didn't renew were probably converted to half or mini plans. Makes the STH loss appear less. It was probably around 80-85% though.

About a month back my Knicks Rep said that the Knicks relocation process should be around the beginning of June and the Rangers will be shortly after that. But I have not heard anything since.
Yup..what else will they say..and it prob would be even lower if the deadline was after the end of the playoffs. Those reps have zero credibility and prob used us as messengers
You seriously believe that 95% would renew their 200 level seats behind the net at $100 per? Or lowers behind the net?? C'mon..thanks for passing msg propaganda
They obviously think they will have ZERO trouble selling all non-renewals as minis. Otherwise they would be pushing upgrades and seat additions. I think we are going to have very little to look at during the virtual upgrade. Lol.
We will have very little to look at because they will hold onto inventory for more profitable minis and halfs. I really think next season will be the inflection point with a mediocre team at these prices. The cycle will turn and there will be unsold FS uppers in a year or two. $100 200s behind the net is pushing it. Once FS subscribers start losing significant money there will be a mass exodus. And next season maybe the season upper FS lose money. Lower FS have already been losing money

To be fair the renewal rate could be much less than that for those sections and still allow for a 95% overall rate. That said, any information received from a rep should be taken with quite a few grains of salt.

I do find it funny how there used to be media releases about renewal info with how much prices went up on average, renewal rates, etc. Now there's nothing like that. Everything's a secret as evidenced by them not posting prices on their website.

Well, you can't fault them for that.
With the enhancements of multiple tenured based, row based, aisle seat based, minis based, halfs based, "whether I am friends with my Rep" based, "whether I take my Rep to lunch" based, and "whether I run into JD or his relative and yelled Sell The Team" based, etc etc multi-dimensional pricing structures, there is no way to publish a single seating chart. They will need to hire GG to print a seating book.
Just made a pre-payment on my Knicks account so I assume it works the same for the Rangers. I paid X with 5 scheduled payments remaining and each scheduled payment was credited X/5 (approximately). So your payment schedule won't change but the amounts you owe will.
I realize this likely doesn't help the OP but hopefully worthwhile for future reference.

That's actually perfect and thank you for letting me know. My rep finally reached back out to me and said just let the payment go through as there have been issues with what I was trying to do with others expecting that to happen. I'm assuming this is what she meant.
My concern was I have the payments on a smaller card of mine and wanted to move it to my card with a bigger balance to avoid issues. I'll just make sure I have enough room before the beginning of every month.
Spoke to soon. Yesterday, I received the email about "Libs for Kids". Maybe my rep was on vacation? I resonded saying, "Yeah right. Garden makes enough money. They can donate the tickets or use some of the 45% increase in my ticket prices to fund this. MSG really has some nerve sending this out." Response was the F-YOU variety or "Thanks for the email. Appreciate the response. Please let me know if you need anything from me."

The Libs for Kids thing might be the most sleazy and scummy thing the Dolans have done in their reign of error and think of the ground that covers.

Needy kids tend to need food and clothing most, but I'm guessing MSG isn't handing out any free $12 sandwiches / $6 sodas or $100 Liberty jerseys when they're at the game...
Maybe that's the next email we're going to get lol
Hmmm... just maybe, this is for people with multiple sets of season tickets. The more months paid in the harder it is to drop pairs of season tickets. Nothing would surprise me. Lol.

Not dropping ALL season tickets... maybe people who want to go from 4 tickets down to 2.

I think this part is hilarious:

2017:
So basically they were glad in 2016 but in 2017 they're depressed and they're not expecting any excitement and don't understand why anyone is still here
