Ticket/Attendance Discussion: The Sequel

[nobody imp0rtant]

Wait what? I thought season ticket holders were going to be able to pick up a bobblehead per seat?

According to this, they are.

Jets 2023-24 season filled with promo games, giveaways and initiatives | Winnipeg Jets

Additional details on specific games and initiatives will be released throughout the season

www.nhl.com

The actual season ticket holder of record gets the bobbleheads this year. To hog or distribute as they see fit. I think what has changed is there is no bobblehead game, which all share partners had a shot at through their group ticket draft. Unless they had a very Draconian SSH who simply said, Bobblehead Night is mine. You can draft from what's left.

None of this has been communicated directly.

Strictly speaking that wasn't the first in-game program - just a publication by the Sun to set up the 2011-12 season.

I actually met Peter Nygard at 529 once. He was such a sociable and friendly fellow; who knew he had such a dark side?

Good stuff on the source of the book. Either way, sucks that it’s there with the great new autograph on the cover.

My wife and I met him long time ago. Could smell the slime all over him and heard items related to current event.

Getting back to Season Ticket talk, as a share partner in ST since 2011, I'm royally pissed off that True North isn't making the Morrissey bobble head available to season ticket holders unless they buy tickets to additional games with the Morrissey bobble head as a promotion. The first promotion game is against the Wild a game I'm already going to with my son, and we have collected every bobble head since Andrew Ladd. Not only that the ticket prices are discounted on top of the bobble head while I'm paying the full rate without getting one. I don't know who makes their marketing decisions, but I swear they are doing their damn best to chase away every last season ticket holder. There is not a single advantage anymore to being a season ticket holder, other then to pay twice as much to watch games live as the single game ticket buyer.

Sounds about right for TNSE "customer disservice"

My wife and I are planning on making a trek to WPG to catch some of the first round in late April, hopefully games 1-4. We will be in town from the 21st to the 28th of April.

Questions ..

What's the best and safest way to get tickets?
What's the best place to catch a game when the team is on the road?
Which hotel would be best suited for this occasion?

Thanks.

Delta, Ramada or the alt are all downtown and less than 5 minute walk to the stadium.

Delta is the priciest. Alt is best value.

Fan first is best place to get tickets resold.

The tavern down town or Boston pizza downtown are 2 great places to watch games.

13,038 average. Winnipeg teams past and present at the bottom of the league.

That's sad ... every business in Winnipeg should be scooping these tickets up and giving them away to customers. I guarantee you their profits would increase.
Maybe the Jets should play some of their home games here in Vancouver ... I know they would sell out here.

Correct. The real first in game program had a full page Don’s Photo ad on the back cover.

All things considered that number doesn't look terrible to me. Seems like the trend is still up.

Someone on reddit has noticed that ST prices for next season appear to be going down from this year's prices.

14.7 at the game last night. Sunday looks to have a good crowd too (probably between 14-15).

Not the case for our seats but the increase was pretty minimal. About 2%.

Yeah, but you probably got a surcharge tacked on for berating them over The Bobblehead Debacle.

I'm predicting a crowd between sixteen and seventeen thousand.

And yes, I'll bet on it. Even offer +120 odds.

I'd take that bet

Looks like 10% reductions on average. Re-jigged the value in a few sections. UB3 which are the top rows in the centre section of upper deck was the third most expensive upper deck last year, and has been reduced over 20% to be cheaper than the front rows of other upper deck sections. Also added a new cheapest tier of seat in the defend twice upper deck behind the nets. Down 30% from last year, $1730 for a season.

For Sunday? In Winnipeg?

 

[blueandgoldguy]

I think they have a shot at 4 or 5 more sellouts this season. Edmonton game, Vegas game on Thurs night before Good Friday, Ottawa game on Saturday of long weekend, final game of the season.

Imagine how things would've looked this year if they did the rebuild that so many people wanted.
