Ticket/Attendance Discussion: The Sequel

[civic204]

Is anyone else experiencing long delays in getting paid from ticketmaster after selling? It's been almost 3 weeks and was just told to keep waiting on the phone.

Happened to me earlier in the season. Took 6 weeks to get paid for tickets I sold on ticket master. JMO, ticketmaster is keeping your money so they can earn interest on the money sitting in their accounts. Might be for a few weeks, but it adds up when you are dealing with millions of dollars.

Have never used them again since. Always use FansFirst now. You get paid the next working day after the event. Because FansFirst works so well, I'm just hoping they don't get too popular / big and that introduces any issues... hope not.

Those Ticketmaster fees are also super annoying. Example: if I want to sell my tickets for $250/ticket, there is an extra $100 in total fees (roughly) on top of that, which inflates the price by quite a bit.

Wow, that's insane!

 

[Buffdog]

Yeah it's pretty civilized and less crowded. Lots of tables to sit at. A DJ. People were doing the Boot Scootin' Boogie the other night...so room to boot scoot!

So... do you buy the same white out party tickets and just go there? Or is it a different "party"?

Anyone have any insight as to why game 5 Street party tickets aren't being sold yet? Last round they posted them the following day after the game is confirmed.

Also would be nice if they warned people about the sale happening rather than just posting it as it is released for sale (zero warning)

It's a different party. Party in the Plaza. Tickets are $20. There's no access to the street party on Donald.

Some game 5 tickets were just released if anyone is still looking.

Biggest job this off season apart from signing some key free agent is getting the season ticket count up, I believe they raised it 1000k last off season and probably need to do the same this year. The buzz from the season should help.

My guess is they put a big dent into that number already. It seemed a lot of people jumped on board to get priority playoff ticket access.

Should've picked up about $15 million of extra revenue this season (from the playoffs). Might see a capital project this summer.

Is that before or after revenue sharing? (35% of playoff ticket revenue goes back to the NHL for redistribution).

based on keeping $2-2.5m of a $3.5 million gate.

I know one person personally that signed up for tickets next season, i did a referral to the Jets for him and I'm supposed to get a credit or something choice of merch as a "finders fee". I did my part to help lol

 

[blueandgoldguy]

I think The Jets had a gain of 500 tickets last year from 9500 to 10,000. Hopefully they can improve upon that with a net increase of 1000 or more.

Doesn't revenue sharing on playoff home games stop after the first round, meaning the team keeps all the revenue?

Not sure on your second paragraph but the org likely made a lot of cash this year regardless.

Same here. Know some people who got on season tickets to playoff access.

Hopefully we see a large increase in in avg attendance from 14,366 to near 15k. Not out of the question considering the jump from the year prior 13,490 to 14,366.
