Why are they (the Devils) making it so difficult to sell the tickets? I can give them the benefit of the doubt : maybe its an NHL policy?



I wonder if the Devils have a investigative division to determine if the additional tickets are for Devils fans?

I'd bet they are using this opportunity to grow their contact lists.

You put down tickets for your friend and now they know to contact your friend with other offers/in the future for Devils STH.

Just like the playoffs, this is another great (and even more unique) opportunity for teams to grow their STH and ticket base... can't blame them for taking such measures.

Didn't read through the thread that much but I'm sure you guys saw the prices the Devils STH got (and since the NHL sets the prices, I'd assume the Rangers STH would get the same offer)... what do y'all think?

Seems pretty spot on to me based on what I expected.

I went to the WC last year (tickets off secondary market) and loved it despite hoping a gorge would open up in the middle of CBP and consume both teams. Such a cool atmosphere.

Paid a pretty penny for those tickets too.. I sat in some club section that had an indoor section to warm up, which was nice. Thinking of going for the yellows this year (217ish).. though those $350 blues are really a damn good deal. Ones behind home plate at least.

Dunno if there are any club sections as I've never been to the new Yankee Stadium.
 
The prices are about what I expected, maybe even a little less. This is a cash-grab for the league and they are going to try to get every dollar. By setting the prices this high, they are taking away a lot of the potential profit for those who would buy only to re-sell. Take away their profit, and they aren't interested in the product.

Except that it's super bowl week and the average face value of those tickets has got to be over $1500 never mind what they actually pay ($3000+ ??). People are going to be in town with suitcases full of money looking to have a good time

i think our prices might be a tad cheaper since we have 2 games.

delta club is behind home plate in light blue, audi club in left field is completely inclosed (in light blue also) and the mohegan sun sports bar (in light blue) in center field also inclosed (worst seats out of these three options) also, the 300 sections in yellow are part of the jim beam suites for yankee games, not sure if the lounge will be open for the stadium series.


out of all 4 options, id pick the delta club or the 300 level seats
 
Just to give you guys some info. It's been confirmed that the Devils do get more tickets than the Rangers by a (now friend) of mine who is a Devils rep. He said that the additional tickets will be treated just like any other "additional" seats for regular season games.

Meaning, no special verification. You just buy the additional tickets. We all get "buying windows" to get the additional seats our deadline is the 31st, I think.
 
I reread the email that the Devils sent and yes, it seems that they want your 'friend's' info to grow a list.

Reselling them is still going to be easy, but they will only be mailed out as hard tickets like the Winter Classic last year. No e-tickets for this thing.

Sounds like seniority based opportunities. Did they tell you how the primary allocation is going to take place? I don't remember exactly but I think for the Winter Classic we had to choose a 1st 2nd & 3rd choice for seating category and they gave you whatever they wanted

Face on Super Bowl XLVI were 800, 900, 1000. Secondary depends on the teams playing. Unless the Giants or Jets are in, you will be able to get tickets for A LOT less than 3000 if you know how to buy. Most tickets for the Super Bowl are actually comped by the NFL. They give to companies that spend a lot of advertising on the NFL, who in turn give to their employees, vendors, customers. Most regular people would rather just get some cash in their pocket. My cousin's husband went every year from 92 (first D*ll*s-Buffalo game) until around 2004. Only once was he unable to find a ticket for face or under. Giants-Ravens. That year, NFL gave out so many comps, they actually went back to the scalpers to buy them up. Drove prices up that week. I was down there with a friend who knew the VP of NFL Properties. Was the only year he couldn't hook up my friend. SB tickets are the ultimate game of chicken. Once the 2nd championship game is over, a price will be set on stubhub. Then, for the next 2 weeks, the cheapest available will drop by about $5 every half-hour or so until the day of the game. Then, they start to drop fast,get bought up, go up again, then drop again. By half-hour, hour before, you can get for face or less.

From what I was told the tickets will be made available to me through normal means. We have an e-portal, as I'm sure you do, which allows us to pay and get e-tickets. I was told the process will be the same as for the regular season.

You do not need to disclose your "friend's" info to grow any list. It's just if you want additional seats. No explanation, just pay and you get additional tickets.

I'm not sure if it's seniority or random. It's a free for all. During your window you have access to any section you want. As long as your debit card is good, the seats are yours.

I understand why they want to add to their friends list. I just question if it really helps them at all. The person who doesnt go to games, but wants to go to this game is only interested in the big event, not a game against Calgary on a Tuesday night in January. Just like my sisters co-worker who wanted to buy my tickets to Leetch's retirement night and was willing to pay double face. When I told her to add a zero to the back of the number she was surprised. I told her I had some other games available that season, but she couldn't be bothered.

The windows are probably seniority based. Anyone who has had seasons since 82, is likely the first people with access. Someone who bought seasons yesterday, probably gets on last.
 
Also just to note I'm aware that there's a sentence in there about "contact lists" but you can just say "I want 2 more for my family" and be done with it. It's not obligatory.

True. Figure we have approx 12k STH and maybe 18-19k tickets to the Devils, it's going to be close. So you're right they are likely doing it seniority based.

can only buy 2 game packages and no additional seats.

prices are the same for us as they are for the islanders and devils STH

Interesting the way that's worded. I guess they're going to offer all the STH tickets and then offer up extras if they have any left over after.
