If anyone has a presale code that works prior to Wednesday morning to DM me, I will buy you a beer or two.
I still can’t believe our season tickets aren’t available to be managed yet. Makes no sense
The season ticket holder pre-sale is worthless.
Tickets are more expensive when compared to the secondary for most dates....

I feel like their strategy the last few years with presales has been to basically take advantage of people who want to lock in tickets early. I guess from a revenue maximization standpoint it makes sense. Just another example of the priority being to squeeze every dollar out of their biggest fans.

Maybe they want to gouge people on the first couple days of individual sales before the rest of the secondary market lowers their criminal dynamic pricing scheme.
You realize the Devils use dynamic pricing too?
Dynamic is fine, I just hate when they claim they're bringing us "value" when it's as Colin mentioned just them squeezing the fan base for every dime.
It makes sense, the Devils want to try to put these tickets on sale first before I put up some games at most likely a lower face value price that I know I can't make already. They don't want to be undercut right off the bat.

I know the Devils use it. That's who I am referencing in this, along with Ticketmaster. They are both guilty.
Dynamic pricing is what is giving them leverage to squeeze people. The fact that they can legally change the face value of an original ticket on the fly is insane to me. The team should only be allowed to set an original ticket rate based on the seat and game.
What's stopping them from setting up reseller bots themselves just to jack prices up and take a cut? Could that be what the verified resale tickets that are already on sale are?
The latest weird music industry scheme: artists scalping their own tickets
The country’s largest music promoter put 88,000 Metallica tickets on resale sites like StubHub, without giving fans a chance to buy them at face value.

If tickets go on sale to public tomorrow ours better go live to be transferred and resold too. That’s when I usually sell the most games is during that first day of resale. If they hold us out from selling to after that it’s insane.

Am I crazy to think that all of these seats being sold already seems fishy? All of those greyed out are season tickets/group sales before they even went to individual game sales? I get this game might be part of a package, but still. And how are there resale seats before you guys even got a chance to manage season tickets? Something about the whole thing just seems off.
Same for me, I can't sell anything yet nor see the price of each game. I have 3 games I know I can't make because of conflicts and definitely annoying to not be able to list them. If you're gonna contact your rep let me know what they say.
My guess for so many greyed out seats is that they are still holding back seats for anything they think will sell for any sort of season ticket plan.
Spoke to rep they said we’ll be able to manage in about a week or so. Said no season ticket holder can manage tickets yet. She told me the verified resale that I’m seeing is people that bought individual tickets that are reselling them.
What a crock of shit that is too. There's no reason those people should be able to sell until we can as well.
Yeah, that isn't true. Resale has been on sale for at least a week probably a bit longer. Unless there was a way to buy individual tickets before yesterday.
Yea I truly believe they are trying to sell their own inventory before they let season tickets sell theirs. This would be a day I sold 7-15 games alone because everyone was online looking and my prices would be cheaper than theirs.
The objective of the Devils organization is to maximize their profit potential. They sell a season ticket. They sell a single-game ticket. They move on to the next potential buyer be it STH or single-game. They do this by eliminating the competition by whatever means necessary (and legal). Think about it the next time they pee on your leg and tell you it's raining out.

Holding back inventory in order to sell larger ticket packages is definitely true, and frankly it makes sense. You can't sell a season ticket package is someone has purchased even just 1 game in that seat.
I am 100% confident though that a large number of seats are grayed out to help create a sense of scarcity and buyer urgency. There's no reason 226 and 227 would be sold out right now, not even for a Ranger game on a Saturday. It's all market manipulation to maximize revenue.

Absolute bullshit. I've been eyeing the 12/21 game against the pens for over a month and all the same seats from a month ago were pink and blue during the presale Wednesday and individual went live today.
I truly think they set up their own individual "reseller" accounts to set the market for dynamic pricing. It's messed up they are lying about it. How is this not price fixing?
THIS ^^^^^
Not related to the Devils, but for a recent concert I was interested in, 7 days before the show there were a few pavilion seats available here and there. The day of the show, there was blue all over the map. There is no doubt in my mind available seats are always held back to create a sense of urgency for prospective buyers. Have them see only a smattering of the best seats and create panic that if they don't act now, they'll be shut out. Capitalism at it's finest.
Wow. I thought the Devils low balled STHs with their refund on the Flyers / Winter Classic game last year. For me at least, the refund on the Sabres / Opening Game is very hard to justify.
The transfer button is live now. The individual pricing is in the ticket info but not the invoice info yet.
