Ya, worse seats but not worth the massive price difference.
I saw upper deck row 1 for $175 at the start of game 3. I was shocked.
Are there more resellers this year? The seating map is a sea of pink.

It's pretty consistent to previous years I'd say, it's almost always a sea of pink. The outlier this year is that there's still blue tickets actually available, let alone still available on game day hours before puck drop, and then the fact that a bunch of the re-sale tickets are selling for a loss to those holders.
There are much more resellers yeah, and the resale market being lower than the absolute soaking the Oilers have attempted to do to their fans pretty much guarantees the building will not be sold out.
I am likely going to just cancel my seasons and just head to the arena and buy a set of resales 5 minutes before the game next year. Pretty much guarantees I'll save hundreds of dollars to get into the arena.

Ftr this is what I posted when I first heard about the playoff pricing for STH on March 12 when I first heard about it:
Same post I questioned that the games would not be sold out. Indeed tickets, either resale or originals have been available for every game. None of the games, not even first game was sold out. STH could have saved money just saying no, and also send the team a message.
Fwiw at the time people were saying I was wrong and countering that market would bare these prices, the games would sell out, and the demand would be immense. Not true.
250bucks gets you in today. Lots of tickets 100bucks under regular prices on resale.
So being how predictable this was why did STH buy? I was basically telling people that at these prices there would be tickets available and that resellers would not be getting margin. The Oilers took all that.

just a joke but looks like not many other people want to pay to see Skinner in net either.
Not sure what it is but around the city the energy is down. There was excitement first round, team doing well. Then relief at 2nd round, and now 3rd round you wouldn't even know its playoffs after game 3. As if people are just figuring this is Vegas series all over.
In anycase buyer burnout is crystal clear. Less demand for tickets and lower prices for resale each round. Which is interestingly opposite of how the Oilers structured the pricing making the latter series more expensive for STH.

Why are people desperately trying to dump tickets? The series is 2-1, not 3-0.

I live out of town, but am considering driving up for the Sunday game (if there is one) and buying last minute tickets, as I'm guessing they will be cheap.

A lot of people are broke. The team wants you to pay roughly $800 just to get into the building.
Scalpers over purchasing in anticipation of a lot of hype when there isn't much

Did this after 2022. Even for the regular season you can buy last minute pairs for $100-$150 when the team charges you that per ticket

Ticket prices must be getting pretty close to the limit as to what the market is willing to pay. I just can't see how the Oilers can continually increase playoff and season ticket prices every year thinking customers are willing to pay that much. There's gotta be a breaking point and I wonder how close we are to that level.

I think they are already there. Just wait until some of these contracts come up. If we lose Drai, Bouch or McDavid because of stupid contracts to Nurse and Campbell the season ticket base will plummet.
Even if all of those guys stay, once the contender window closes, lots will cut tickets, especially at the prices they are charging

They took note of what the COE is doing with property taxes. haha Just got mine today. f***ing ouch. Another 300buck increase over last year. Been incrementing up like that for years. This being a city that pays 60M for busses that don't even work and just calls it a day.
Oh look the city has this easy to use APP. So that a standard house in Edmonton now costs 5K a year in property taxes alone.

Stubhub had some Game 4 tickets for less than 200 bucks...Game 6 tickets right now? 390 bucks is the cheapest
the bandwagon is full again lol
the bandwagon is full again lol
If we beat the Stars in Game 5 the ticket prices will increase from there. The simple law of supply and demand.

Just what they are listed at now. There is limit the Edmonton fans are willing to pay.
There are tons of people who list and see if they can sell them to try to recoup costs but will go if not sold. Not really desperate but testing th market. Where you see big blocks of tix you are seeing the ticket resellers ( think the old school tnt ticket guys). Those guys I have no empathy for.
Good day Oilers fans. I would like to go to game 6 with my 16 year old son. I'm showing that Ticketmaster has tickets going on sale Wednesday June 5th at 11am MT. I also see that they have a presale before that. not sure if that is for season ticket holders or what have you.
Anyway, I'm in London Ontario, so after flights and accommodations, food, and drink...I'd like to try and keep this 24 trip under $3k. Does anyone have a lead on some tickets at face value where I don't need to stress about getting them when tickets go on sale with ticketmaster.
Any good will is much appreciated. I'm hoping that karma is on my side after giving away my Oilers/Vegas playoff tickets to some posters on this board last year. Any help I can get, for 2 tickets (beside each other) anywhere in the arena. Could be presale, could be season tickets, anything.
Thank you in advance,
Nally

I guess I've been posting in the wrong thread
Am hoping to fly up from Australia for a games 3 and 4 so pretty desperate for a ticket to either of the games.
If I can secure one I call in sick for work next week and book the flights.
If anyone can help me buy a ticket I can bring you whatever you want from Australia within reason. Beer from my brewery, food, niche items, whatever. Will have plenty of luggage space after the like 1 pair of pants and 3 shirts I'll be packing

I would like to come up for either game 3 or 4, so if you are a STH selling tickets, I would be interested. PM me on here
Word of advice for people asking people here for tickets/how to get tickets - you're much better served getting a handle on the resale market on Ticketmaster or Stubhub, keeping a close eye on prices and then pouncing on ones that pop up that suit your needs.
Unless someone here decides to be charitable you won't save any money and would be at risk of being defrauded vs. just buying off an accredited site.
