I mean, I'm not saying the Rangers don't do stuff for us, just seems a lot less than what you mentioned. I wish the Yankees had a reward system to earn points and ****.
They have the garden moments. I mean the points don't really get you that much, which is why I really haven't used them. The best I can say is that the Yankees give you stuff that isn't tied to the credit card you use to pay for your seats.
 
looking to take my ranger fan wife to the nov 10 game vs florida. she hasn't been to a game in a few years. anybody looking to sell 2 for that one? i def can't afford lower level, so 200 level would be best. seats still available on tm but thought i'd try here first. send me a message if you have something.

I have seats in 223 row 11 that I’m not using for that game. I don’t know what the prices are off the top of my head, but you are welcome to them.
 
My rep invited me to the season ticket holder lunch last Tuesday and I had an incredible time. It took place at legasea in the moxy hotel right by MSG. The Rangers rented out one of the small meeting/party rooms on the second floor of the restaurant for the 5-6 season ticket holders who were there plus their guest. 3-course meal, which i thought was very good and of course everything from the bar was included as well.

Not sure who the guest might be for next week but we had Adam Graves who as everyone knows is one of the nicest guys around. It was scheduled to run for 3 hours and Adam spent close 4 hours just sitting with all of us, enjoying a meal, and talking hockey. Afterwards, he took pictures and signed for everyone before heading on his way. If you work in the city and can get out for a few hours or can just take the day off I would highly recommend going.

Thanks for the reply! It looks like Brian Mullen will be at the lunch tomorrow. Looking forward to it.
 
Been thinking about getting Yankees season tickets myself. How would you consider their service and overall value?

It all depends on why you are considering them.

If you are considering buying a full-season plan and think you will be able to sell 3/4 of them to pay for the 1/4 you go to, plus the playoffs, don't kid yourself. Those days are long gone.
The secondary market is flooded with regular season games, many seats going at the StubHub resale minimum. It's a buyer's market in this respect.
While there are some games that can fetch a premium on resale, those are few and far between, and are likely the games you want to go to yourself.

If you are considering a partial plan to secure "face" value playoff tickets, then you need to do some more thinking. How many games will you attend? How many games will you need to sell? What days of the week do you want to go to (regular season) games? This is all important, because only full, half, and quarter season plans get invoiced for playoff tickets at "face" value. These plans are every, every-other, or every 4th home game, and therefore the "day of the week" changes. The "day-of-the-week" plans (Friday, Saturday, Sunday), and the turkish bazaar 12-game plans, only get you access to the pre-sale, with a pin-pong-ball chance of getting into the pre-pre-sale. (To be fair, full playoff strips have been offered to the 16 and 12 game plan holders, based on seniority; the cheap GS strips are have been gone when my turn has come up.) I don't think the 11-game value plan qualifies for the pre-pre-sale.

I put "face" in quotes, because even though the face values of playoff tickets are published by the team before they go on sale, there are difference "faces". There is the full season price, the partial plan price, and the single-game price. The strip price depends if you are invoiced for it via plan rights, or you take an plan-holder opportunity to buy it outside your plan rights as an "extra". Then there is the whole dynamic pricing scheme, where the cost of the ticket will double if you don't win the pre-pre-sale lottery.

The Yankees make money selling tickets. They don't want you to make money (re)selling their tickets, and rig the system accordingly. Buyer be(a)ware.

As far as customer service, I typically get a new rep every other year, and have never had a need to contact mine. I do get emails, as posted elsewhere, when my rep will be out in the stadium pre-game to take questions. My rep emailed me to ask if I would be interested in adding seats for next season or upgrade, because he is looking out for me and wants me to make sure I get access to the best available inventory. Take that with a grain of salt.

For the record, I have a 16-game Friday Plan in Row 4 of 413. I am in a price-break section, and in an uncharacteristic low-row. I know there are no seats closer to home plate in my price point (GS Outfield) for a 16-game plan. I won't be giving up these tickets.

I appreciate all the insight, truly I do, some really great stuff here.
 
Well 6 months as a STH have finally paid off for me; got my first NYK mini-plan (a 5-gamer), and should be a few weeks (if not sooner) before I finally convert my NYR deposit for a similar plan.
 
With the season just around the corner it's time to start posting tickets for sale. Which method do we need to use now? I remember they sent out an email making things more complicated.

What type of tickets are you listing?

Mobile screenshot (recommended)
Tickets are in online account where you bought them (the team, Ticketmaster etc.). You’ll need to take a screenshot of tickets using mobile device to upload on StubHub.

Mobile Transfer
Tickets are in online account where you bought them (the team, Ticketmaster etc.).You will be transferring tickets to buyer through online account.

PDF tickets
These are .PDF files on your computer or mobile device. They should be the original document you got when you bought your tickets.

Paper tickets
These are traditional tickets printed on laminated, hard stock paper or tickets printed at home.

Mobile transfer or paper tickets only. Screenshots have been killed off with the rotating barcode and PDF's have also been killed off.

Thanks. So if I go with mobile transfer how do I get them to the Stubhub buyer? I can't imagine they would give me the buyer's email address.

They sometimes do. They'll either give you the buyer's name and email address or they'll give you the name and a dummy email such as [email protected] to transfer to. Obviously I prefer when the former happens so the team doesn't see I'm selling on StubHub.
 
Speaking of hard tickets, does anyone have 2 tickets to sell for the Dec 6 game against the Habs? Preferably near my seats (section 222).
 
Hey,
To people who got hard tickets again this year. It looks like they shipped today and will be arriving Friday. My FedEx account is showing they shipping today via 2-day shipping.
Did this for the 1st time in a while. If you are in a pinch can you still sell or use the app tix?

Yes you can sell/transfer tickets through the TM site or use the mobile tickets. I would transfer the tickets to yourself before using to invalidate the hard tickets, just in case.

Well I finally did it! I got my Rangers 5-plan, weeks after my Knicks 5-plan. Obviously, I'm not surprised that there's more demand for the Blueshirts this year than the Orange-And-Blue. I'm all over the place for Ranger games this season; none of my seats for those games are the same exact seat I will be seated for the 5 Knick games this season. Let's see if this encourages me to continue/upgrade as a STH for next year. Wish me luck!
 
New user agreement was interesting. From what i gathered the updates are:

1. Rangers reserve the right to revoke season tickets anytime they want.
2. Limiting a maximum of 4 tickets to any one person/business for season/partial plans
3. Individuals or businesses must be domiciled in CT, NJ, NY.

Was worried there might be something in there about limiting the number of re-sellable games but I think as other users have posted, NYC protects season ticket holders against resale restrictions?

As most of you know or have read, the Rangers tried to pull my tickets last year because I live in Arizona. It led to a pretty spirited back and forth. The Rangers relented and I am back for my 26th year as an STH. Interesting point -- I never lived in the Tri-State area -- I became a season ticket holder when I lived in Bucks County PA and have subsequently lived in NE, CA, MN and AZ. And I'm getting some free cocktails on opening night from the big hoolies.

Thought I recall seeing an arbitration clause but maybe that was the Mets.

Had my first sale last night and they forwarded the buyer's name and email. Was able to transfer and confirm pretty easily. Nice not to have to wait until 3 days before and then do the PDF download and upload bit.
