In this paper we compute the r-point Seshadri constant on $\mathbb {P}^1\times \mathbb {P}^1$ for those line bundles where the answer might be expected to be governed by $(-1)$-curves. As a consequence we obtain explicit formulas for the symplectic packing problem for $\mathbb {P}^1\times \mathbb {P}^1$. Some exact values for the r-point Seshadri constant outside the region governed by Mori’s cone theorem are also given. These latter results use a useful new “reflection method”.In the analysis there is a striking difference between the cases when r is odd and when r is even. When r is even the problem admits an infinite order automorphism, and there are infinitely many $(-1)$-curves to consider. In contrast, when r is odd only a finite number (usually four) types of $(-1)$-curves are relevant to our answer.
