MTS Centre Upgrades - Part IV

[JetsNut]

Food and non alcoholic beverages are included. The price is 108K per block of 4 seats per season. That’s 27K per seat! That’s more than 3x more than my centre ice Loge!!!

Keep in mind you do get all events at MTS Centre. However it’s significantly more per seat than even a centre ice suite. Don’t get me wrong, I hope they sell them all, but wow!

Thanks. Did they say if the all-inclusive food included menu ordering? The drawings make it look like the food might be whatever they set out buffet-style. And of course, how much would those 4 premium seats set someone back?

$108,000 for 3 year term and
$118,000 for 1 year term

Guessing food will be buffet style, but does say in seat service, not sure if that’s just drinks on food included

as per @JetsNut post, did you also get the impression that you could attend all events at CLC for that cost? Call me skeptical.That's a lot of events.

I have had a discussion with my rep who sent me the information. It is indeed for all events at CLC.

This seems like a good strategy for courting corporate buyers. Tickets like these would be a good perk to give to customers. The fact that they are for all events also makes them more appealing as not everyone likes hockey.

TNSE has been stale the last few years, but has shown a lot of creativity and business acumen in the past. I feel confident that they will be able to work things out and get the team back on solid financial footing.

They probably pulled a number of the major businesses in the city and determined what they would require to buy tickets. This is likely a response from a good amount of research.

Is food, drink, in-seat service provided for all events? Concerts? Moose?

4 tickets blocks, tickets to all events in Canada life centre in your same seats, lower bowl for moose games, sounds like all inclusive drinks and food excluding alcohol, parking pass for each event

At that price, it should include alcohol, too. And I mean top shelf stuff, not all the Bud Light you can gag down. Where is the parking pass for? Does the arena have a secret parkade with a hidden entrance like the Bat Cave?

Well you get $1000 plus back on the parking pass alone if you attend all home games and a handful of concerts and Moose games.

Probably a liability thing with the alcohol... and to sidestep the argument from drunk people who are cut off that they're not getting what they paid for.

If Club Meds et al can do it, so could True North. The cut off argument doesn't fly. An establishment can cut you off even if you are paying for the drinks. And let's be real, anyone that can afford these seats can also afford the extra cost of getting stupid, shit-faced drunk if that's what they're inclined to do. There's no public service being accomplished here. It just comes across as True North being cheap, nickel-diming their high rollers to shake even more shekels out of their pockets.

Nobody drives home from a club med. And while you can cut off anybody, it's probably easier if they don't think they have a right to a drink that they have "already paid for"

Nobody should be driving home from any event if they have had too much to drink, regardless of whether the alcohol was included or extra charge. This is where personal responsibility comes into play. Again, anyone buying these seats should not be at any financial hardship if their night out cost has to include a hundred bucks or so in cab fare to keep themselves and other safe.

And those seats will be awesome for concerts and other events.

Well then now's the perfect opportunity for you to upgrade!

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

What does the True North fine print say about selling off the seats for events that you can't or don't want to attend? For legal purposes related to scalping, how would they determine the "face value" of any particular event? Will people buy these on the expectation they can recoup a lot of the cost through the resale market?

So if there is no financial hardship they can pay for the alcohol then.

No way in hell, I have Centre ice Loge! I would NOT trade even for same price!

Nope. There are too many that can't manage themselves responsibly.

If they can afford $100 in cab fare they can afford to pay for their drinks. It doesn't come across as TN cheaping out to me. Just a reasonable limitation.
