Ticket/Attendance Discussion: The Sequel

[angrymnky]

It wouldn't shock me if in the next decade Canada Life Place is renovated and seating capacity is reduced to ten thousand with extra wide seats.

5000. Bettman's a visionary apparently.

Prices on Jets website (https://www.nhl.com/jets/tickets/season-ticket-memberships)are about higher than the prices in the renewal link - what is the difference?

I’d like to bring my 79 year old father to the Coyotes or Kings game coming up. We are a couple hours west. Can anyone direct me to the best way to purchase tickets and parking? I don’t want him walking far. Not familiar with parking, etc. thank you.

Fans First.

Google for parking. There's a few spots you can park that connect without having to walk outside. Not much that doesn't involve walking.

Giving away 2 tickets to Friday's game vs CBJ, section 319. Can't attend, free to anyone who will actually go to the game.

Message me and I'll hook you up, first come, first served.

Hey everyone, I bought 4 tickets for tonights AZ game off the seat exchange last night, and have had my card charged, but the actual email with my tickets still hasn’t came. My Account shows the order but doesn’t show any upcoming events.

Is this common when buying late on a weekend to not receive tickets until closer to game time? Never had any issues with seat exchange in the past.

That's a really cool thing to do.

Couple of THOUSAND short of a sell-out yesterday at about 13,400 listed. Assume this is sold tickets, and not what actually walked in the door? 13,400 seemed to look generous to my eyes yesterday.

Think TN is starting to smell what the fans are thinking about this club?

 

[SCP Guy]

We are no different then 90% of markets … your team sucks you can’t sell all your tickets… your team is great and tickets fly out the door.
All our sports teams are like that…. During the Bombers lost decades you could not give away tickets to watch that brutal team… now since they are great the tickets are valuable again

Is that number tickets scanned?

Not sure, that is the announced attendance. Not sure if that means tickets sold, or how many showed up. That is what I was asking, may have not worded it clearly....

 

[JC Numminen]

While I understand some people being concerned about attendance this year, I don’t think it’s any cause for alarm. What, 15% of the province Isn’t even allowed in the building yet? Lots of people are still scared to be out with big crowds in public, and company off 2 years where lots of people were unemployed due to the pandemic.

Attendance is way down across the whole league. Think 5 teams have averaged a sell out. Not one single Canadian team is averaging big enough attendance to sell out Canada life centre, and that includes the Leafs.

Even more relaxed restrictions by next season, people getting more comfortable going out in public over the summer and hopefully some changes to the team and things will be just fine.

Announced attendance is almost always tickets sold/distributed. That's why teams like the coyotes always do or panthers in past seasons would announce 11-12k attendance when there is clearly less than 7k in the building

Yes, they count tickets sold

Prices on Jets website (https://www.nhl.com/jets/tickets/season-ticket-memberships)are about higher than the prices in the renewal link - what is the difference?

My seats are $12 984 for a pair as listed on the Jets website (LB6) $147.55 x 44 games x2 tickets. My renewal is $11 424 (LB6) $129.82 x 44 games x2 tickets for the same seats- If the Jets were to bring my group in line with the prices listed on the website we would no longer be SSH.

Edit: $1560 more expensive for a new SSH for a pair of LB6

So the prices they send out aren’t actually what season ticket holders pay? I’m planning on getting them for first time next year, looking at pair of LB8. They come out to the same price as your LB6 at your renewal.

Do long time holders get a loyalty discount of some kind compared to new holders? or am I totally misunderstanding something

The Jets aren't advertising such and are currently in the process of having SSH cancel their multi year agreements and join the new single year memberships. However, when looking at my invoice and the prices for new SSH it certainly appears so.

I copy and pasted this from my invoice.
Payment Plan Confirmation Details Full Season (44 Games) QTY: 2 CAD 11,424.00

I am in section 109

Interesting. This makes sense to me as I sat in 208 last week (where I’m hoping to get mine) and paid $115/each, which is essentially the same discount that you have on your LB6 applied to the LB8.

I talked to a rep today and he sent me the exact same prices as the website has listed. You’d think they would either A) advertise a loyalty discount or B) correct their prices if they are wrong and trying to get new SHHs.

If they end up being $115/seat for 44 games it makes more sense becoming a SHH than $130 that it is listed as now, especially if you can buy them cheaper on the seat exchange.

They are rolling your deposit in to make your payment lower, but then your deposit is gone….slight of hand move.

 

[Monty9]

Our seats were $16,036 this current season and $16,704 for next year (we are not renewing after 11 years and recouping our deposit). Ticket rep sarcastically argued with me (great customer service for a long term P1 STH) that our increase wasn’t 4%, which added to my frustration with them and told me I was lying. I have my invoice from last year ($16,036) and the bill for the pleasure of renewing next year ($16,704). They are confusing people by using your own deposit to make the increase look smaller and also messing with reimbursed games to make the increases look smaller. Your have to look at full cost this year and full cost next year.

Not for me in LB6. My cost prior to discount is $11 424 - My tickets are exactly the same price under my new membership as my multi year contract. The tickets went up about 2% in LB6. Under my old agreement they could have gone up 5%

Once the discount is applied ($1500 seat deposit) and another $758 for reduced capacity games my seats are $9165 for next season.

It seems like some areas of the arena have undergone larger price increases for existing SSH than others.

Yes, it look like there will be 2 pricing tiers in LB8. The price for exisiting SSH and prices for new SSH. The prices on the general website are for new SSH. When I log into my SSH account the seats that you are looking at in sections 208,209,210 , 214,215,216 are called corners 200 attack. The price is $112.02 a game or $4929 a season for a single seat for an existing SSH to renew.

As I said in LB6 (corner ends 100 sttack for exisiting SSH) I will pay $129 a seat. New SSH will pay $148 a game.

That’s good! I think with many more seat categories some will pay more, some the same and some less.

Appreciate the info, thanks!

Wonder how the discount works. Would I be paying that discount price if I renew for 23-24? Same price as new? Or will it depend on how many years I keep the tickets?

Never thought I’d end up a Jets season ticket holder until recently so this is all new to me had wheat king seasons for one year and that is it.

Per Rep - price difference is “the fact that current season seat holders are offered a slightly lower price than someone looking to purchase new seats”
