So I’m about to purchase the half season now.

Just have a dilemma between 222 row 18 seats 7-8 or same section row 21 seats 10-11.

I’m feeling the latter. Thoughts?

I would think three rows down is more of a difference than three seats over, so I would lean to row 18. But, one thing to consider-- it looks like row 21 seats 12-20 are available for individual sale. So you may be able to get seats right next to the row 21 if you need, or, even better, maybe no one will buy those for a few games and you get more room.

It's a good plan to use credit card bonuses but points keep getting devalued so use them when you can. I used to be able to fly first class to Tokyo round trip for 120k points on ANA. That's now the one way price.

BTW I don't remember having the tickets in hand so early.

This x10000

I used to sit on a ton of Delta Skymiles thinking I would use them for a mega trip overseas or something. Then the first time they revamped the redemption program I started using them until my balance was down to about 100K.

I was in section 222 last season. I don't think the seats are that much different. Personally I'd go with the lower row for resale purposes but ultimately I doubt it matters.

“but the bigger perk to white (half-season plan) is the extra regular season game.”

That and $2.75 gets me on the bus.

This is BS how they swap what White and Blue get every year. One year you get 2 pre-season plus Opening Night, next year you get 1 pre and a sh*t ton of Sunday “evening” contests against crapola teams from Oct til Dec.

Hopefully, at least, Sat night March 18 against the Pittsburgh Whiners is when I make a king’s ransom on a sake. Lol

When renewing a half season, am I pretty much always committed to the blue plan? Or can I always switch to the one that has the home opener?

Just going through the tickets now, when looking at the tiers of each ticket, do you consider ticket prices $0.25 off as a different tier?

Also, how are these tiers even determined? I don't see why the 12/12 game against the Devils is about the same price as the 1/3 game against Carolina (and that Carolina game even being $0.25 more).

I consider it same tier and the 25 cents is just the way for them to get to your total plan price since totals were determined before schedule came out.

They try their best to price everything out equally based on opponent and date but again, total plan price is determined before the schedule comes out so there's always going to be some outliers unless they want to have 7 to 8 tiers like they did in the past.

You seem to complain a lot. Nobody is forcing you to buy the seats. Not sure what you think qualifies as a King's Ransom, but those days are over for regular season. Much to easy for people to buy tix last minute while standing outside arena without fear of them being fake.

Devils are more of a rivalry and the games right after New Years are usually not as in-demand in general. Plus, I just think whoever is making these decisions are a bit clueless.

Yup, aside from playoffs and the Hank game, my most profitable sale last season was the jan 22 game against the yotes so don't expect to make any money on these games.

Anyone buying a package with the intent of selling games for a profit, even if it is just to reduce your own costs to attend, is going to be sorely disappointed in the regular season. Even the play-offs. If you held onto game 5 against the Pens or game 3 against Carolina for too long, you couldn't give those away.

Yeah- I sold my CAR game before the series started because I knew if things went sideways fast the demand and pricing would drop quickly.

Game 1 against Tampa was another tough sell if you waited too long. Meanwhile I made money on my knicks tickets even without selling a bunch of games.

This is on point. Just added up all the games I sold and what they cost, and even with the Hank game selling WAY above market, I was down $800 total. This doesn't include the games I went to. You won't make money on games.

Mentioning the playoff games, Game 3 and even Game 6 for the Canes series, I sold at face value for both games. Game 4 was sold above face value. The only way you would have made money was if you sold the first two Tampa games, Game 1 and 7 vs the Pens, and Game 4 vs Carolina. Everything else sold for at or below face value.

I agree with many people above. The days of making money on games is pretty much over. Although if you've been tenured for a while and in the right location it's way easier to move tickets and not lose money.

You also have to be realistic with what games you attend. If you want to be at every single big matchup and weekend and only want to sell duds then yeah you’re not going to do great. I’ve been to so many games that I don’t need to be at specific ones for the most part so games around the holidays are easy to part with to make up for some of the losers.

What you need is a core of a few people who will take a few games from you year in and year out. I sell all mine for my average price, plus a few bucks to cover pre-season. basically, my season cost divided by 41 instead of 44. I have 3 guys who buy anywhere from 5-10 games from me and then a few friends who take 1 or 2. For my regulars, I also give them play-offs for my cost, hence why I never have a problem losing my regulars.

That is true, too. For me, it is more about day of the week and working around my kid's schedule as my daughter is playing travel hockey. For my regulars, they are more concerned with day than opponent, as well. The people I love are those who want to sell the premium games for the "variable pricing" price and then the lower-tiered games for their average price. I have called out a few people on here and now the different facebook groups for doing that. Too many wanna-be ticket brokers out there.

Any games I sell to people (vs. online) are at my average face value (total invoice/number of games). I can’t be bothered trying to explain why a TB game costs more than a STL one. It’s just easier.

This isn't 100% accurate with regards to the playoffs. Sounds like you waited too long to move playoff games. You need to strike when the hype is the most, not after they lose. I made a significant amount during the playoffs and sold every game well above face. I only went to game 7 against Pitt and game 2 against Tampa. Most games I doubled my money.

That said, tickets are not an investment, they are a luxury expense. If you're nervous about the cost, you're better off not buying them.

I had the tickets listed before the series started, maybe I was unlucky when it came to buyers. The only reason I ended up selling all of them was cause either I was sick or my friend that I split my tickets with was sick.

My biggest fear for this season is what people experienced in 2015. Nobody wanted tickets until the conference finals. Hopefully the demand is still there for games before then. That Washington series was impossible to sell until Game 7.

I personally had no issues with selling tickets at all even with the big price jumps for the playoffs. Granted I’m in a pretty good location but I also made sure for games early in the round that I sold those and didn’t hold out. There’s a possibility that there could be less demand for the reasons you stated but it’s also possible the Rangers don’t have as many games at home either. One of the biggest issues is that not only were they making deep runs but every single series they played 3 or 4 home games instead of 2 or 3. After a while it’s just too much money.

Sorry didn’t realize this subthread was where we are expected to come and praise Dolan Inc for the bone’s they’ve thrown us. I’ll try and be more uplifting in the future. Lmao

Great question. Based on my short tenure it seems like you stay on the color originally assigned. I’d ask my rep i guess if I thought it would change the situation, but they seem to be churned out every two years.

(Hope that didn’t come across as a complaint lol.)
