Not sure what you’re getting at here. The most dramatic decline of CDN$ occurred between 2011 and 2015.
Ticket/Attendance Discussion: The Sequel
- Thread starter nobody imp0rtant
- Start date
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
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.
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.

I'm positive that's what it was last year. We could buy at the STH rate for playoff games. It was a limited window if memory serves. I have a 1/4 weekend package
I signed up for quarters last year. Got sth prices. 93 bucks per ticket for game 1 upper bowl attack zone. I would recommend.

Thanks for the confirmations. In for a 1/4 season for 25-26!
This may be a bit off topic (and apologies for it's length), but I just had an unpleasant conversation with someone from True North, who replied to my voice message SIX days after I left it. I was trying to buy a single ticket in the handicap section for an event at The Burt (fyi, I'm coming off knee surgery & waiting for surgery in the other knee). The Ticketmaster app won't let you buy a single lone ticket in the handicap section, i.e. they require you to buy TWO tickets. Nobody I know was interested in going, but I'm ok with going to events myself. The True North rep who finally called back was, IMO, rude & condescending, especially when defending their policy, re: The Burt's 2-ticket handicap seating policy (which i feel is unfair to handicapped persons). He said that "anyone can claim to be handicapped" & therefore get great seats close to the stage & that the 2-ticket policy cuts down on fakers trying to get great seats. I reminded him that I've bought single handicap-section tickets for events at the Club Regent theatre, with no problems. He seemed shocked at that, but reluctantly said he'll sell me one ticket, but the single ticket price turned out to be $150+change (including fees). I had to reluctanty decline, as it's out of my budget. But I wouldn't have even bothered to go further with this, had I known the ticket price. But I couldn't even find out that price, as the Ticketmaster app said that the handicap tickets were sold out, so I had no idea what they cost. And they required me originally to buy TWO tickets? i.e. shell out over $300? And do what? Put the extra ticket on the re-sale market? I don't know how to do that, but even if I did, why make so difficult for me to go to an event there by myself? Do they need to see the giant scar on my knee as proof? He said that, in the future, that I should come down to the arena box office in person to buy a handicap-section ticket. Not so easy when one has to use a 4-wheel walker to get around. Maybe I'm wrong, but it was a bit insensitive in they way they "attempted" to handle my dilemma. I've read many a story here about sh:tty customer service from TNSE, and now I can join that club, I guess. Thoughts?
Sounds like a human rights discrimination issue on at least two grounds:
1) Differential Treatment – when an individual is treated differently based on generalizations about a group to which they belong or are thought to belong, rather than on their individual merit.
You're disabled but they're forcing you to buy two tickets? Are non-disabled people required to buy two tickets? No? Oh...
2) Harassment – includes a series of abusive and unwelcome behaviours or comments. These actions are directed towards people because of a group to which they belong or appear to belong.
Hassling you about only buying one ticket implying you're faking a disability? Being rude. Not cool.
You can find more information, including a way to complain here: https://www.gov.mb.ca/fs/imd/hr.html
Initial thought is that you may have just been dealing with a slimy/asshole/ignorant rep that pulled this “policy“ out of his butt. With that, I’d escalate it up the chain of command to whoever is in charge of ticket sales with TNSE. Looking at their website, either Linzy Jones or Rob Mullowney.
If that is an actual policy then yeah, as Gm0ney says you’ve probably got a legitimate human rights complaint.
What you’re saying doesn’t line up with the stated TNSE organizational values of ‘Trust & Respect’, ‘Integrity’, and ‘Excellence’, that’s for damn sure.
Stated values are often very different than their actions, since $$ comes into play.
Sarah mentioned on air - sellout vs stars woohoo
hey there - would love some advice from a veteran season ticket holder regarding playoff tickets!!
I am a first year quarter weekender package holder (live out of province, but wanted to support)
Anyways - this was the first time I went through this process, and didn’t realize I needed to purchase 16 games for all 4 rounds.
I’ll be able to got to 1 a round if I’m lucky. lol.
So like - I need to sell the rest - I was not expecting the ahem “fiscal commitment”. Curious on a few things:
1. Where is the best place to sell tickets (I have never sold a ticket before - stubhub?)
2. Should I be worried about tickets selling for face value - I really do need to make the money back, at least to break even, for the games I am not attending - which I assume will be all but 2 or 3.
3. For timing - when is the best time to put them up for sale - like, can I put up game 5 before game 1 is even played? What if someone buys them but there is not game 5?
4. Pricing - how do I know how much to sell them for? What is an appropriate price relative to face value?
Thanks for bearing with me - am just a little freaked at the cost, and need a jets fan to hold me and tell me it’s gonna be ok. lol.
Oh - and the email from true North: “Reminder, purchase your playoff tickets from March 12 to 14th. Email was sent on the 14th at 10am. There was no first email that warranted a reminder (also spelling error they said quality instead of qualify. Who the f is reviewing these communications!!)
Anyways, I did t see the email until th morning of the 15th, due to, you know work, and life. I was mortified to see my window had closed. Only to then realize it didn’t and I could purchase tickets. Apparently the window was all weekend - no email sent to clarify. My god. This is basic stuff.
Cheers!

Is there not a "pay-as-we-go" option where you buy 4 games for Round 1, and then if they get to Round 2, you pay for those 4, etc.?
Scalping (selling above face value) is apparently against the law in Manitoba I believe. You can sell for any price up to face. Fans First is a low fee alternative to trying to sell tickets through Ticketmaster. I don't think the seller pays fees anyway, but buyers looking for a deal might appreciate it.
You'll kind of have to figure out face value when individual tickets for each round go on sale (unless the Jets publish the walkup prices ahead of time).
We used to have a ticket thread on this board but it had some rules...none of which I can recall. But maybe enquire if anyone around here wants to get in on your playoff tickets for games you can't attend and you can skip all the middlemen entirely.
Thanks gmoney!! And yea there is a pay as you go - which I selected. Just apprehensive about how far the jets will go now. lol
As I’m from out of province - that’s good to know about scalping! The ticket prices through the jets/ticketmaster fluctuate quite a bit in based on demand. So I guess I’ll just watch for prices on ticketmaster than post in there (or preferably fanfirst)
Any fanfirst users out there - easy to set up and use for an old man that is scared TikTok?
Yeah, i love fansfirst. Sell my Bomber tickets there all the time. Super easy to set up an account, and i still have a flip phone so that should tell you something.
