My yearly reminder to Devils fans:

Sat, 7 Feb 2015 @7pm - Devils @ Canadiens

Habs tickets go on-sale tomorrow at Noon. The lottery opens at 11:30am.

Last year for the first time in over a decade there was not a weekend Devils game in Montreal, and the year before was the first time I ever got skunked in the lottery.

I do not intend to let that happen tomorrow!

If you've never been to a game in Montreal, I dont know how you call yourself a hockey fan. MAKE A PILGRIMAGE.

Thank you!!! I was planning on making the trip up this year.

What the heck is the lottery?

You log-in to the Habs website for a "waiting room" from 11:30 to Noon, and are assigned a "spot".

You dont know what that "spot" is - in other words, you dont know if you got a good # in line or a bad # in line, you just sit and wait until you're allowed to purchase.

Thank you!!! I was planning on making the trip up this year.

Np. I do this every year. The more Devils fans in Montreal, the better. I've gone to quite a few games up there, and we usually have a pretty decent away showing on weekends in Montreal.

People bash #nofanz all the time, but I would absolutely hate if there was ever a day I had to enter a lottery in September just to buy Devils tickets.

Or if the entire season of 41 games sold out in 1 hour and 20 minutes?

What kind of shot do I have to get middle of the road tickets? I'm not looking for the cheapest or the most expensive. $70 or $80 might be my limit for a single ticket.

I usually try for Whites ($85) or Grays ($63), but more often than not all that's left when it's my time to purchase is Blue ($47).

It's completely reverse from a Devils game where the cheap seats sell-out first. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. If you're a Habs fan you might only be able to buy tickets to 1 or 2 games per year, so you buy "Best Available". They may as well blow their yearly ticket buying load, because they cant buy 7 or 8 games on the primary market anyway.

The Canadiens waiting room thing is such a joke. Joined into exactly at 11:30. Been in there now for an hour...

It will be your turn soon.

It will be your turn soon.

Oh yeah sureeeee

 

[BenedictGomez]

Oh yeah sureeeee

Patience will be rewarded.

The one thing we have going for us is that Brodeur is no longer a Devils. This game would have already sold out on us by now in year's past.

Do they allow you to go down to the glass for warmups if you don't have a lower bowl seat at the Bell Centre?

Yes.

I think places that don't allow that stink. At least let kids get up close for a few brief minutes you loathsome commies.

The Devils game I attended up there, I was chased out by an usher for not having a lower level seat.

Stubhub

Has anyone noticed the very low quantity of tickets listed on Stubhub for pretty much all games? Any idea why that might be?

Because they chased out the brokers and are heavily discouraging sth's from selling on the secondary market

It is pretty telling just HOW barren the inventory is, even before single-game seats went on sale. Even TE doesn't have very many seats listed for any game (though mainly because sth tickets haven't been activated online yet). I'll be very interested to see what the actual attendance numbers wind up being early though...well after the first three games anyway.

But to go from 1500+ tickets on stubhub alone to only 100 is a pretty dramatic decrease. I am curious to see what the attendance is like, too. I went onto the STH pre-sale page last week to check out what kind of inventory was available. Couldn't get anything in the upper balcony for half way decent games.

It's September 17th.

You're going to see a dramatic increase from 100.

Is there no Puck Night again? This saddens me if so.

There's no anything again so far. Hugh Weber promised tons of promotions and giveaways in one of his smoke blowing tweet-fests. I guess Kussin was right when he said it was next to impossible to get sponsors for these things (at least for this team, since every other major and minor league team in existence doesn't seem to have that problem.)

People always want to make it out like Jeff annoyed every businessman in the area, which wouldn't help with promos but that's probably a cop-out to a degree.

That would be terrible business by those businessmen then if they were going to "punish" a new regime, of billionare owners no less, because of a past issue with a guy no longer involved in the organization

Aside from the people that went to the pick up date, plenty of ticket holders don't even have their tickets yet. Not that they need them to list (especially if they haven't forgotten where there seats are), but plenty of people sometimes wait until they have the tickets in hand before listing.

 

[NJDevs26]

Honestly though I think there IS going to be a noticeable difference this year...preseason tickets are still listed at much higher prices than I ever remember them in the past partly because of the lack of tickets on the market.
