Rangers Season Ticket Holders: Part XI

[Polar Bear]

Can anyone gives us perhaps a final update on the general sense of what the inventory is looking like?

 

[Mkdaman1818]

I have no clue what the price difference is, but it came out to 5500 per ticket ($125 per game average).

Wow that’s quite high. Knicks seats in that exact location is 3960, or 90 per game.

When I was in there, the 200s had options for row 1 only. There was a pair in 312 for barstools. I didn't look at the lower bowl, because I didn't intend on sitting there.

If I can get back in later, I'll post some updates.

Any idea how many rows 1s were available? And thank you in general!

FYI I love the barstools, especially in the 300s. Hockey is such a wide angle sport that being able to see the whole rink from that top angle is awesome. Add the comfort of the barstools, the table to put you’re food and drink on, being able to hang your coat on the stool, and easy access to bathrooms and concessions and it’s a total win win for me.

There was 1 pair in 226. One pair in 212 I believe. The rest we behind the nets. I looked over them, but there were probably 5-6 pairs behind the nets combined (each side).

I stopped looking there when I saw the bridge had availability.

Thank you!

If anyone manages to get in and can give us all an update on the rest of the general inventory available it would be most appreciated.

My appointment for additional seats is Tuesday at 10am.

 

[Blueshirts51]

Last I checked there was still a pair in 304 row 2 for fulls.

I toyed with it but decided to keep my half.

Moved down from row 20 in 212 to row 15 in 222. Save a few bucks so I am pleased.

 

[Nash Money]

Pair in 314 row 2; pairs or triples in row 1 of 201, 202, 206, 217, 218, 226. Plenty of lower bowl left.

Thank you for this. Just curious to see how much the lower bowl has finally and rightfully got neglected. How many seats do you think are left in there?

 

[JimmyG89]

I'll post a full inventory of the 200s for fulls:

206 Row 1: Aisle seats, closer to 207
202 Row 1: Middle of the row
201 Row 1: Middle of the row
226 Row 1 (3 tickets): Two off the aisle, closer to 227
218 Row 1: Middle of the row
217 Row 1 (3 tickets): Middle of the row
304 Row 2: Seats are 1 and 2, but the aisle is 3 and 4 (stairs in the middle of the row)

Lower bowl inventory is quite high. There is a section with 60 tickets for fulls (Section 118). Most other sections range from 8 seats to between 20-30.

Wow, people are finally catching on about how bad of a deal the lower bowl is. That's good to see.

If anyone likes behind the goal seats. There are 2 in section 102 row 7 on the aisle..185 per ticket. 2 rows in front of you pays 317.00

That makes no sense to me. It's 317 a ticket for lower behind the net and not in Delta or a Club seat?

I think it is considered a club seat..the cheapest delta club seat is 475.00

"Club" seat is so completely meaningless. You get a separate entrance, so what? You don't get any free food or any special lounge. The only special individually ticketed places in the building are DeltaSky Suite (front row glass and sections 1-2-3 + 106-107-108 rows 1-8 only), JPMorgan Suite (glass seats on the eastern half only), or Madison Club Suites behind the Rangers 2x

Absolutely right and I've been saying this for a few days now. Lower bowl is a rip off, but regular Club seats are the worst of the worst in terms of value.

 

[GordonGecko]

Amazingly the Knicks appear to charge the same per game price for half season plans as for full season. Would be nice if it ever got to that for the Rangers.

no they don't, it's actually a much bigger markup than the Rangers from 1 to 0.5

 

[JimmyG89]

And if you really want to get one of the seats with the all inclusive food, just wait until until gameday. You'll get a better deal at that point.

Also, not sure who could do the all inclusive seats for a full season. I could see a mini plan, at most.

Rich people or corporations who want to take out clients to games.

Best bet for regular folks is to get a not too expensive full season in the 200s and maybe a few times a season upgrade to a Delate and treat yourself. Lower bowl, especially Club is not worth it.

was able to move up a row in the 227 for my halfs. pretty happy with the inventory for halfs. granted no price break rows were open but I got into row 5 close to the aisle.

Yeah and like you I wonder who buys those seats and the ones at Yankee stadium where the person pays $300 and only gets a marginal seat with an expensive food menu. It's got to be mostly corporate who blindly buy the maximum they're willing to budget and assume because of the price their clients will be treated to a premium experience, not realizing that to get a "premium" experience at Yankee Stadium or MSG you need to spend $400, $500, or even $800 per ticket

Let’s not forget that small business owners can buy these and then (up until this year) write them off for tax purposes. I bet that this may also be the reason why there’s more lower levels than usual too... no more writeoffs.

Might be part of it, but I'm willing to bet that it's more so the one ice product. Keep in mind that the 200s inventory was better as well.

Yeah I’m sure it’s a factor, but also keep in mind that companies/suits are usually the ones in the lower levels, and they usually don’t renew based on team performance. I think team performance would factor the uppers a lot more than the lowers.

It's probably a combination of the two then. I'm happy that people are realizing too that the lower bowl just isn't worth it.

 

[JimmyG89]

I know that the people who just put down deposits and have no previous tickets to relocate have not gone yet, but does anyone feel there is a chance that there will be people who can walk into full seasons in "decent" prices for the lower bowl?

I think it's possible. The fact there are so many right now, and that there are so many half seasons open as well, I think the lower bowl will open up to the public for all kinds of plans (full, half, and mini).
