The only other option for starting on a Friday is 8 days after the season ends which ain't happening either. Considering that the league is starting in TO this Saturday, the chances of them waiting a week to start our series is even lower than starting it tomorrow - which is why I assumed you meant this weekend

I think he means the NHL starting the playoffs on a Friday instead of Saturday, and not the Jets themselves.

But what does that change? We finish Thurs day, so we're not playing Friday or Saturday (that night is reserved for the Leafs) so we're back to talking about Sunday or Monday anyway
The league always gives a couple of days from rhe end of the season to the forst playoff games. There's no way they could start this Friday unless they change when rhe season ends to earlier in the week, which means starting the season earlier

It was odd I didn’t “accept” them I just clicked on the link and the tickets populated with bar code. I can also transfer them if I want but I never hit accept.
I also received two separate links within about 2 minutes. I got one from [email protected] and the next email from Go Tickets. They both give me access to the tickets

I was talking to a Partner for a global sports management advisory practice who definitely works with the league. However, it was after midnight and there had been a lot of drinks, soooooo.
I think they just want to watch some playoff hockey tomorrow night haha
Have the scalping laws quietly gone away in Manitoba?
I just checked ticketmaster and seats in my section are being sold on ticketmaster as a verified resale for $850 + $155.33 in fees for a total of $1005.13 for a single ticket.
Jets were selling these for $368 + $22 for $390
Season ticket holders paid $189
Didn’t know that you could resell at such a mark up on ticketmaster .Previously ticketmaster was locked at a set max price .

Well Colorado, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Vancouver, LA, and Vegas all played Thursday, and I suspect the NHL will want to start at least one western series on Saturday. I could be wrong though.

I think the scalping law was rescinded around March of last year.
We were the only province in the country with a scalping law and ticket exchanges simply took place outside the province as a work around. Manitoba was losing revenue and handicapping its residents, hence the change.
Wow! Really? The team only keeps 35% of playoff gate revenue? That is wild. I wonder why some markets inflate the playoff ticket pricing by so much then, I guess because they still keep *some* of it? So really a playoff run by the Jets isn’t really all that economically positive, certainly doesn’t make up for regular season attendance issues then! although I suppose they get all the concession revenue for themselves, but the gate is lower than a regular season game if they only keep 35%. I guess we can’t complain about Toronto anymore because they have to share 65% of their playoff gate with the rest of the league?!

Fun fact: True North lobbied for scalping laws to be abolished (for your protection, Winnipeg sports and music fans):

Secondary market for the final game of the year was insane - not 2011 levels, obviously, but back to I'd say like 2015ish levels.
I figured there'd be deals to be had, but there was nothing even at face value on the market.
That's a great sign.
Edit - I really want to derail the thread with scalping talk, but I should really save that for another time.

Another benefit of being a season ticket holder. We can always buy tickets in any section to any game for whatever the season ticket holder cost is in that section and avoid ticketmaster fees to boot. There are usually a pair or singles somewhere in the building.

Does anyone know if you can enter the hargrave street market with your game ticket for a pregame?
Yes, you can.
“If I have a ticket to the game, can I still get into Party in the Plaza?
New this year- Your ticket to the game will get you into the Party in the Plaza free of charge. Scan your game day ticket at the entrances to enter.”

My guess is 5000 capacity is just street party tickets. TNSE know people with game tickets will be pretty transient as the make their way into the arena.

I let curiosity get the better of me and just found out I could book a round-trip ticket to Winnipeg next week for only 1k euro, which is cheaper than I expected. I'm not gonna do it, but if it's looking like we'll be in the same position next year I might totally come over for some spring break Whiteout action.
Y'all already know all I need is 7-Eleven and perogies so if any of you STH would be willing to help me get not horrifically priced tickets, I'm there.

Any updates from any insiders on the board regarding corporate uptake of season tickets? How many percentage points have the Jets increased their corporate ticket base from 15% of the total?

Yes this would be interesting information. I sure hope the business community opened their spending account. Winnipeg having the lowest corporate support in the NHL is embarrassing.

A relative of mine with a half season tells me both ticket holders that share the half season get tickets to the opener, according to the ticket rep "so it will look fuller".
That...can't be good, can it?
