Ticket/Attendance Discussion: The Sequel

[WPGDEVILS]

I was right online at noon trying to get Street Party tickets. The queue was over 2000 people and by the time it got to me, it was sold out.

All my Buddies got in at 2000 and same sold out

 

[wpgfishfan]

Still wondering what viewing party will be

Upper deck not being opened they say

I'm going about 4-5 thousand for Game 3 and game 4

 

[Upperdeckjet]

There are re-sale tickets now appearing on ticketmaster.ca and fansfirst for all the playoff games. Seems to be about 600 or so tickets available as re-sale. Prices are high, which I guess is relative.

After a quick perusal of different sites, it looks the asking price by fans in Ottawa for their games is most aggressive.

Good business decision. Rip off those Laffs fans.

I hope the marketing department are taking advantage on a remarkable season and frenzy this playoffs may have to get more season tickets sold for next year and just as important valuable corporate support.

Great opportunity for corporate sponsors to see the value of advertising and ultimately buying season seats with the Jets.

Additionally, for the individual ticket buying fan, if they're willing to spend $400 on a pair of upper bowl tickets you're almost at the point of buying a 1/4 season. Hopefully the sales and marketing department can capitalize and portray that message. Everyone would love a fraction of the white out energy on a Tuesday night in November, and the easiest way to do that is with a full building.

Lots of game 5 tickets available - both from Jets and resale. But expensive

 

[wpgfishfan]

3,500 was game 3 viewing party. Anyone know how many watched yesterday?

 

[HighFlyingJets]

Man looking at Game 5 seats on Ticketmaster and OH BOY, the fanbase has gone cold. Plenty of people trying to sell. like thousands. And still many available tickets. I have some doubts about this game selling out.

Good news though, prices will drop crazy!

I checked Ticketmaster right now, looks like roughly two hundred standard (non-resale) tickets left.

Secondary market may have softened, but I don’t think there’s any chance it doesn’t sell out.

 

[arbf412]

The prices for those standard tickets dropped a lot today compared to yesterday. Nothing is moving and they needed to lower prices. Guessing these are seats that they held back in hopes of packaging with season tickets for next season.

Remember that most of the tickets you see are resale tickets. This means the seats are already sold. If the arena isn’t full it would just mean for the most part people didn’t use tickets they already paid for. Their choice. I know if I paid for tickets I would be going.

Fansfirst … prices may have dropped a little , but still high. I sold my game #5 seats over a week ago and got a good price.

I think those tickets just came up for sale. I would be surprised to that many available before noon tomorrow.

Yeah, there are less than 200 un sold tickets.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

They’re moving fast, by my count less than a hundred now.

 

[arbf412]

They dropped the prices for the non-resale again today. 300 level on the sides were over $300 on Sunday, around $250 yesterday, and under $200 today. Good data point for anyone thinking about paying big money on the secondary market as soon as the tickets “sell out” for the next round(s).

Don’t forget the price goes up each round as well. My seats in the upper deck double in price from the 1st round to the final round.

 

[HighFlyingJets]

Anyone else feeling a little dissapointed in the turnouts for the Road game watch parties at the arena?

Crowds have been sub 3,000 for both, tonights doesn't look to be any better.

Edmonton has SOLD OUT each one of their road game watch parties, double the price of tickets, and 15,000 more fans supporting their team.

Seems like we could all step up here and be a part of the atmosphere and getting together downtown and show our support.

I'll be there tonight! GO JETS GO

Maybe I am just old but I would much rather watch a road game at home.

 

[HighFlyingJets]

seems like excuses, regardless, we are not even filling half the lower bowl, the entire 18,000+ Edmonton arena is sold out every time.

I'd hope we could do better. Tonights at 7PM on a FRIDAY. can't excuse a poor showing that will occur tonight.

I like to watch games with my parents. Maybe Edmonton's massive 50/50 drives more fans to the road parties. arena party compared to street party is just not the same atmosphere and experience.

 

[SLAYER]

For a watch party? Who the f*** wants to go to the arena to watch an away game? If the rubes in Edmonton want to shell out cash to sit in an arena and overpay for low-quality concessions they can go nuts. Couldn't be me, though.

 

[jokesondee]

Edmonton also has 300K+ more people than us, not to mention a much larger feeder city/rural population nearby to draw upon.

 

[surixon]

I prefer watching away games at pub with my friends. Much prefer that atmosphere.
