2024 Season Ticket Renewals / Playoffs

[Oilmageddon]

I totally agree.



You can also donate them to the Seats for Kids charity via the app and get a tax deductible donation reciept.

Thanks will look into that option.

Thanks will look into that option.

You have to donate 24 or 48 hours in advance, just an fyi. Your tax receipt arrives after the calendar year is over by email.

Liar. you weren't even with me.

JK aside a lot of people are averse to having such things as an apple wallet and I refuse to have it as well.

Ticketmaster needs a swift kick in the legal balls.


Can't speak for others but I don't have Apple Wallet Or Google wallet and never would have it. Don't like being required to either. Back when I had ticketmaster before all the latest breaches and hacks I found it usable but not user friendly. Really a headache for people that don't go to many events. Each time I went to an event I had to re download the app, get and updates, screw around awhile to get the tickets to even show. Not everybody is into the tech at all. I hate it. Very hard to navigate when your vision isn't that great at reading small print on a smartphone. Add that in bright settings I can't even see the smartphone screen. The handfull of times I've had e tickets I've loaded them before leaving home. But even this f***ed up a couple times as I have no data coverage and have to use the offline method which is tricky. I have just a basic plan because I never use smart phone for anything.

If you have a smart phone you have one of those apps just not using them. The Rogers app is new to me but it is easy to use if you already have an Oilers account manager. And you need that to get your tickets.


I agree with the small print on phones is hard to read for me too. I like the convenience of having all my cards on my phone and being able to carry a very small wallet.

You can donate them to Kids Up Front as well. Donated my recent Oil Kings games as I don't really want to go and been having a hard to time getting rid of them.

Hell even the Oiler tickets are hard to resell for face value. Stanley Cup rematch, tickets in the lower bowl are well below season ticket holder prices.

WhatI've learned selling some of my upper bowl tickets over the past two years are the following:

Jets or Senators? You're getting face value (at least).

Flames/Nucks - north of face value, especially if its a Saturday night

Leafs/Canadians - way over face value

Any Saturday game - over face value to way over depending on opponent. I sold a Saturday afternoon against the Ducks last year for a healthy profit for example, doesn't even have to be a good game.

Anybody else - you're probably not getting face value.

Where are you selling your tickets, PM me if you'd rather. I usually use FansFirst if I don't have someone buying directly from me. But so far this year its been bad, lower bowl for tonight tickets are $135, thats over $50 loss for the season ticket holder with the fee. Stanley Cup rematch?

If this game was on a Saturday you'd be making money for sure IMO.

I just sell mine on Ticketmaster exchange. Being in the upper bowl probably helps, the market for a $100 face value ticket is a lot bigger than the market for the ~$2-500 lower bowl seat. I don't mark up significantly beyond face value for any games other than the Leafs and Canadiens, but refuse to sell for under FV.

My personal policy is to sell the very profitable games for the profit, list a bunch of the games I don't care about for FV, then simply hang on to the 10-15 games I really want to go to. If a listed game doesn't sell for FV I just go to those ones too and don't feel any worse for it.

I do have a partner for some of the games but I do the same more or less but don't go to as many games. My kids do sell some for me through their friends, I don't make anything off of those games. Leafs are good for double, the rest like Boston, Habs or other Canadian teams I'm lucky to make $50 per seat. Avs and Knights can be a good draw depending on the night. But most week night games are a loss, giveaway or I attend.
