They are but only doing it because of the opponent. There is a 0% chance if they attempted this with any other opponent that it would work and tickets would sell.
As I've said, MSG prices are worse so tomorrow Ranger fans will buy these with no issue because it's the cheaper option.
While I don't have STH anymore, I was thinking about doing a partial plan next season(10 games), but after seeing how they screwed over those people without giving them any price break, I may just pass.
I'll bring this up on Tuesday at the timeshare hard sell I'll attend since they gave me free tickets to try to bring me back as a STH.

Yeah, this is ridiculous.
I bought a 14 game plan this season with the expectation that there'd be playoff access, and figured it'd be the usual thing in most sports where either the league sets playoff pricing or otherwise things are at a flat rate. Whoops!
The real killer here is that there's a good chance I wouldn't even be able to make most of the games during the first round; I've got a huge thing at work that's gonna eat up a lot of my weeknights until the end of April. But, like plenty of other people, I'm sure, I was thinking of picking up a few tickets, reselling them, making a tidy sum, then using what I made to buy any further rounds that came along.
Instead, I just tried to get two of the cheapest seats to game 1 and with fees it all came out to over $550; without a guarantee that I could even be at any of the games, there's no way I'm going to do that and then just hope that I can fetch something like $300 a seat for stuff in the 200s on the secondary market.
So, basically, there was no real benefit to people holding any kind of partial ticket plan thanks to this dynamic pricing bullshit. Cool beans.

I paid like $40 before fees for 200s tickets for tomorrow.
They were going for $70 for some of our recent weekend games though

Question for new Black/Red Members for next season (not current STH's, but new members for next season): What prices were given to you for playoff tickets this year and were you also given the option to buy full rounds of tickets?
LOL if we win the division. I will feel had for a ton of folks, but at the same time will be laughing at the rag fans or resellers.
You mean when we win the division lol
If I had my way I'd have it be like soccer and Rangers fans would only be allowed a certain amount of tickets in a certain sections and not be allowed anywhere else. I need to hit a big lotto and buy the team first to make it happen lol
Hire me as the plumber so I can make the sewage pipes in that section faulty

Spur of the moment kids on spring break type of thing. I'm not though so I'll be busting my ass home to scoop them up and then turn right around and go right back up the parkway. Hopefully we get there in time for the bobble head.Yup..i saw in March two tickets in 110 for $48 and thought it was a bargain so i snagged them for tomorrow.

I was trying to get out of work earlier to take in some of the pregame stuff but best I could do was around 5PM. As long as traffic isn't an issue I think I should still get there in time for a bobblehead

What's crazy is at the beginning of our "streak" in the early part of the season I got two 100 level tickets for like $60 total. For years you could score them for less than $20 a ticket. Last year against Detroit at the end of the season I got four tickets in like 122 for less than $80 day of the game. How the turns table.
Same, I'll be home by 4:45 and then turning right around. I should get there around 6 which should be enough time.

So you’re mad because the Devils are pricing the tickets high, because it’s preventing you from doing so? I don't agree with how they’ve treated partial plan holders at all, but this somewhat validates their decision.
What did he say about the geofencing thing? I don't think that would help much considering how many Rangers fans are in NJ and then they would just be keeping out fans that are in the NY and CT area which I believe we do have enough of that you wouldn't want to block them out.
I'd rather see visiting fan only sections put in and you're not allowed to wear shit blue anywhere but there. People would be so salty about it and I'd enjoy it so much lol
Thanks and yeah the last line makes absolutely no sense.
I would love to see more full or even half season ticket holders around me. I've become really good friends with a lot of the people who have sat around me but there are lots of seats that are different people every game. It really is nice seeing the same people every game.
Mind you, I'm very lucky that the people around me are very nice. You can obviously be stuck next to someone miserable, which is why I'd like more full season ticket holders around me.
A few times this season some of the people who sat near me for a 1 game only were so obnoxious that I never wanna see em again lol

Yep! I've paid tons of money to the Devils this year, and getting a chance to net seats that can be flipped for a nice sum and thus go into paying to go to more Devils (or insert your team of choice here) games is often a perk people who get ticket plans look forward to in a most sports leagues.

TBH I think the team cares most about maximizing profit compared to trying to maintain a home field advantage. With how much money they must have lost due to awful product in recent years, I don’t blame them.
This is also me posting this from CA. I was thinking of making a weekend trip to NYC to catch a game, but with these ticket prices for crap seats - I’m waiting til the 2nd round.

The bottom line is that partial plan holders were not given access to strips or to the pricing that the STH's and new-to-NEXT-season STH's were given to. The "priority" access that partial plan holders were given was to those tickets that STH's purchased and put up for resale at a markup OR the remaining tickets that the Devils then marked up (DYNAMIC PRICING!!!) based on what the STH's were selling their additional tickets for. Partial Plan holders got access to the marked up tickets just barely ahead of newsletter access (which will include LOTS of Rangers fans) and Public Onsales. Gee, thanks for that "priority" access.
Partial Plan holders got screwed. Don't ever buy a partial plan, there's literally ZERO benefit.

that is pretty terrible and there are no excuses for this to happen. it won't do anything but i'll bring this up tonight at the STH sales pitch I'm attending to try to get me back. i'd only consider a partial plan but after hearing about this, that's now probably a big no. for season tickets, i've already been told that what i paid for 2 tickets 3 years ago, is now worth 1 ticket lol
It looks like they added upper corner seats to the presale. Not sure what they cost since I never got an email with a password but if those are the $180 plus fees, might be worth picking up.
Those were my old sth seats and are fine to sit in if anyone needed information on the view.
