HFDevils Official Tickets and Prudential Center thread

[BigBlueAndRed]

It's absolutely an option but they won't just offer it to you, you have to be a bit stern about saying you're not going. I can 100% confirm I know people who took the option to carry over to next season and others who took a refund as well and because it was presented to me as well.

Personally don't care what you do in terms of selling tickets but aren't you a Rangers fan? If so, do you sell off a lot of games? Because maybe they see you normally do that and that's also another reason they aren't giving you the option?

I personally think with no protocols in place that several options should have been offered to all season ticket holders and that they should reserve people's seats for next year, especially people who have been in those seats for a long time, some since the building opened. I'm starting to sound like I'm beating a dead horse but I am absolutely not happy with how the front office has handled this.

I can see where your confusion is, the "BigBlue" is for the Giants, the "andRed" is for the Devils.

My rep said no, I didn't realize it was a game where you had to ask multiple times if you didn't like the first answer.

Just tell them you’ll have to sell every game. Terms say if you sell too many they can revoke.

Just remember you posting in the Rangers season ticket holder thread when I was browsing to see what they were doing with everything so that's probably why I thought that.

I don't like that they have made it a game, it should have been offered to everyone, period. If you want to be pushy about it though you will have options, it's unfortunate that's how it has to be though.

I like to go to Devils/Rangers games at MSG when the Devils are respectable, so I always keep tabs on the tickets for sale in case I was able to go.

I'm also a Giants STH, and they did the same garbage, my friends asked to opt out multiple times and finally got through while others (like me) got told to pound sand. Just sad to see the inconsistency.

 

[HellOnIce]

Anyone have an extra parking lot slot for Friday?

 

[JrFischer54]

I know several full season ticket holders who opted out for this season, they are allowed to keep their tenure and carry over their money to next season but there's no guarantee their seats will be held for them but the odds of other people jumping on board and taking their seats are slim to none anyway.

Also know one person who got a full refund for their seats and read about a few others doing the same.

All of this is related to the Devils having nothing in place protocol wise.

Personally I won't be attendance for awhile myself either despite being a long term full season ticket holder. The team made their bed on this front and they can lie in it now.

this is probably a stupid question but what do you want them to have in place? i only ask because i really dont know what other teams are doing and not doing or what they even can do at this point?

At anypoint they can implement a Vax or Neg Test policy, which they should, but they only care about money.

I want vaccainted only or vaccinated only/negative test. Prudential hasn't even done the bare minimum of requiring masks.

You can see here how many other teams are actually requesting this stuff. This isn't fully updated since it's from a few weeks ago, Islanders (vaccine only) and Boston (vaccine or negative test) have since been announced.



Prudential is also 1 of 7 NHL teams not even doing the bare minimum of asking fans to wear masks...

to each their own so dont take this the wrong way but at this point in the game it doesn't really matter? everyone has come into contact with someone else thats had it. your constantly coming into contact with people not wearing masks daily unless that is you changed your current life to avoid these situations. I don't see the difference in vax or not vax seeing how both can spread it, debatable about how effective it spreads in either case. I just think its time to move on get your shot if you want dont if you dont if you want to lose your job over it so be it and whatever. wear a mask if you want dont if you want. this coming from someone (me) who believes in the science and the vax and believe masks work and got the shot. I have no problem going to the game under the current lack of guidelines by the devils. I just don't feel like at this point it makes a difference to have those guidelines in place about having vax proof required.

how are you going to even enforce a mask rule for unvax people? they won't hire a mask police to go looking for people. they won't stop people in the concourse to show them their papers. having a mask policy at this point thats not enforceable is just theater to me.

Too much of this is what the mods don't want us talking about so I'll try not stray off too much but I don't think the Devils front office and ownership gives two shits about their fans health and are only doing this because they think it will get them more people in the building(I don't and you can see the home opener isn't remotely close to sold out) and they don't want to be the "bad guys" unless NJ makes them enforce this(which also could happen as I think Murphy is waiting until after the election to put these policies in place)

I think community events(which these still are despite being in a private arena) should be attended by only those who are willing to do what's best for their community and themselves. I'm not interested in spending a lot of money to sit next to possibly unvaccinated people for several hours who aren't wearing a mask and will be talking/yelling during that time which is a big difference than just walking by an unvaccinated person in normal daily life.

I said bare minimum about the masks with the Devils because you're right, it won't be fully enforced and is a bit of security theatre but it costs the team nothing and they still don't even wanna do the bare minimum to even pretend like they give a shit.

My only way to be vocal about my displeasure of this situation is to remove my money from them, which I have for awhile as I won't be in attendance for a bit despite being a long term full season ticket holder. I'm not telling others not to go to games, I'm just not going cause I'm not happy with how the team has handled this all and this is how I can show it.

hey i'm not trying to turn this into a covid talk either just was wondering what you thought they weren't doing enough of. i don't think the lax policy is the reason why the home opener is empty. the devils always have a hard time drawing so even if they enacted the policies you want it would help but minimal i think. kinda think people dont want to risk getting sick for a team thats only made the playoffs once in the last 8 years. if the devils were the team of 99-01 then yeah the place would be packed friday

Home opener is one of the few games that is usually packed. I can't speak for everyone but I know a bunch of long term full season tickets holders who aren't attending at all until protocols are in place, some even opting out of the season entirely.

 

[NJDevs26]

I also expected a packed opener for the first game with no fan restrictions post pandemic, it’s certainly fair to attribute a potentially disappointing attendance to having no protocols but we have nothing to compare it to because there’s no alternate universe where we can see if the Devils would have sold out with protocols, or if they would have sold fewer tickets. Either it’s a bad business decision to not have them or it’s a good business decision and they only care about money but both can’t be true in this case. You can’t make the simultaneous case they only care about money AND they cost themselves ticket sales with their policy, or lack thereof - it’s one or the other.

Maybe the simplest answer is the best one unfortunately, it’s been eighteen months since max fan attendance and fans have found other things to do than flock back in to see a now perennial loser. A lot of people are at best in the show me stage, show me you’re better, don’t just give me average roster age and tell me you are.

This ^^^^^^^^ I was a STH for 5 seasons. I got 2 playoff games out of it. I'm done forking over $450 per month and 1:15 drive each way. I can watch from home - I don't need the live experience that badly.

thats what i think. look since moving to newark the team has "sold out" opening night but i've been to a few and there were years when that was being generous on the sell out and there were a good amount of comps given out also. factor in the losing the covid concerns to some and being away for so long i think teams that historically had soft attendance are going to struggle out of the gate. if this team goes on fire and by christmas time usually when attendance picks up if this team is at the top of the division i think you will see a crowded arena regardless of protocols.

 

[Desert Devil]

So no proof of vax or negative test? Feels like Arizona. Wow.

 

[Call Me Al]

i can confirm i’m not going to any games until there are some kind of restrictions in place and told my rep as much

 

[dbv]

I’m vaccinated and I can confirm that if they told me I had to wear a mask I would absolutely demand a refund. I’m not saying that I’m right… just that there might not be a perfect answer. (Though a fax cert or neg test is fine with me).

 

[HellOnIce]

Of all the times going to the Rock, Friday will be the first time I drive. Can anyone recc a good lot close to the rink where could even buy in advance?

Wonder how they'll enforce #2, since I'm sure most people who fall in that category will just rip their mask off the second they're through security and never put it back on.

 

[SETHROLLINS]

I have no problem with requiring the vax but hosting pre-season games with no limitations and announcing it two days before the home opener is a terrible rollout.

while again this is nice and all it literally does nothing to protect people. So basically your not vax you just wear a mask into the building then take it off?
