Ticket/Attendance Discussion: The Sequel

[imec]

The real concern is gov't leadership that is why the Canadian dollar is in the tank. Remember when the CDN dollar was at par ... what changed?

Not sure what you’re getting at here. The most dramatic decline of CDN$ occurred between 2011 and 2015.

The strong CDN dollar was one of the reasons why the Atlanta franchise moved to Winnipeg.
Dec 31 2011 CDN dollar 1.01
Dec 31 2012 CDN dollar 1.00
Dec 31 2013 CDN dollar .97 ... the decline started and we were warned

I don't understand how the businesses in Winnipeg do not support the Jets more ... without the Jets I'm pretty sure a lot of them would make less of a profit or maybe not even be in business. Every bar in Winnipeg that has the Jet games on the big screen should have season tickets and give them out to their patrons.
But seriously the Jets are the best team in the league it should bring happy times but no lets bring up doom and gloom.

The price of crude oil is what really changed. Inflation-adjusted it was at near-historic highs for almost a decade, until the bottom fell out of the oil market in mid-2014 and as a result, by 2015 the CAD had lost its steam.

If these tariffs go thru some are saying the dollar will fall even further. League might have to do something for the 7 markets who are at a disadvantage right now and could become even worse.

Got my renewal package from the Jets yesterday. Modest increase in my ticket costs for next season. Hopefully they're able to land more season seat sales next season.

 

[Brominator]

Yup, got my season ticket package and we'll be renewing again. Possibly upgrading to a bit better seats too.

By the way, the cheapest season tickets are
$1822 full season
$1037 half season
$513 quarter season

Those are roughly $40-50 per ticket per game and you get playoff ticket access too - very reasonable in my opinion!

For those on the fence, I really recommend it. You get in the building a bunch of times a year and watch our marvelous team play some great hockey games. Also, a deposit on tickets gets you priority access to playoffs THIS year too.

The coasters they sent were sick. Approx $240 increase per seat up top for us. Not the worst but will be expecting a big jump in the next couple years.

Exactly this. $513 for a quarter is great value IMO, you're sitting up top (no bad seat in the building), you get discounted food/drink and you can get some cool giveaways each year. I'm sure lots of people would love to get into the building 11 nights a year vs spending the same money for 2 game in the lower bowl.

The big difference is the Jets are now doing what a lot of teams are doing now.... more micro pricing. IE: row difference in pricing, attack end vs defend end, etc.

My seats are going up $5 per game or ~ 6% increase.

Is there a difference in playoff ticket pricing for existing season ticket holders vs someone who signs up for quarter season ticket? Anybody on here sign up for quarter season recently or last year and could comment. Last year prices for season ticket holders to buy extra tickets for playoffs, up to 4 per game, started at $102.

But the price for public on sale and certain pre-sales is much more, double or more than double for the least expensive option. While its a perk to be able to buy before the public, if the price is the same, I might just take my chances with jets email pre-sale instead of committing to a quarter season when you can get into many regular season games through fans first/group sales offers for less than least expensive quarter season option.

I have a 1/4 season and pretty sure the starting rate for last playoff was around $91 for presale. General sale to the public was significantly more from what I remember. It's one of the benefits of a 1/4 season, as well as the ability to buy tickets to "more desirable" home games at season ticket prices, such as Leafs, Habs etc.

That is interesting you say that as a rep has told me the prices for quarter season ticket pre-sale are very similar to public, just that quarter season has earlier access. Hoping to have some more clarification from TNSE.

I was wondering the same thing myself. I usually go to about a quarter season's worth of games each year, I like the flexibility to go a la carte. But if I could get STH rates for playoff games on committing to a quarter season package, then that's something I'd certainly consider.
