Ticket/Attendance Discussion: The Sequel

[KingBogo]

How did you get extra tickets in upper for $100? Least expensive in pre sale that I saw was $200. I have half-season.

When you confirm your ST for the playoffs, you get the option of purchasing extra tickets for the playoffs at ST prices.

What were the pre-sale prices? The cheapest tickets on Fans First are $290 for upper deck, $450 for 200's and $525 for 100's. We have season ticket pricing and those prices are all more than double that. Almost 3 X's for upper deck.

On pre sale I was able to buy corner upper deck seats for $233 each. Same seats on ticketmaster (not resale) $286.
For reference my season tickets for round 2 are $230 14 rows from the ice in the attack zone for periods.
I also picked up 4 extra seats for the entire playoffs and those are priced $100 each so $400 a game for 4 seats in round 2.
I must admit that the playoffs are a good time to be a season ticket holder.

People in Edmonton have no friends to watch with, that's probably why.

I don't know if the Jets are doing it at their viewing parties, but the Oilers viewing parties have a projection on the ice of that EDGE Goal Visualizer for the entirety of play.

That wouldn't make me want to go at all but it is at least kind of interesting.

I'd be all in on the street parties if I could bus into them and bus out - Driving from out of town, fighting with the people who are going to the game and the people going to the street party for parking just to watch the game on TV anyway sounds like it would suck.

Ah that makes sense. I upgraded 1/4 to 1/2 after game 2

 

[gojetsgo1991]

What is interesting is that tickets in sections bordering on P5, such as 303, were $223 in presale but are $196 all in on Ticketmaster standard resale. Normally price after fact would be higher.

For SSH to buy extra tickets at season ticket prices, is this commitment before the playoffs for every game or round by round?

This is actually pretty cool

My kids (early 20s) seem a lot more keen on the idea of going to the street party than I am

People who paid $100 a seat are likely reselling below the cost that the Jets are selling them to move their tickets and still make a profit.

Perhaps the party in the plaza at True North square is an older crowd. Tickets are a bit more expensive.

Oh certainly. That I understand. And i look forward to benefiting from that next spring. And certainly I ought to have considered the difference in demand between game 1 and 2. What I don't understand is that the same seats are different prices for standard tickets (not resale) on Ticketmaster for different games and to sell pre sale tickets one day and then sell the same tickets for $30 less the very next day. I guess you run the risk those standard tickets wont be available as they aren't for G2 but one would normally assume the standard tickets to the public would be the most expensive and certainly more than pre-sale.

The Jets also have the ability to move their own price points. I am not sure if they are doing this or not. I can’t find any tickets that I can access through my Jets account cheaper on ticketmaster. What I can see is tickets through my Jets account that are not visible on ticketmaster .
I know that one of the lowest price tickets in the arena for round 2 that I bought in the pre sale were $233, the same tickets right beside being sold on ticketmaster were $286. Some of the difference was a price increase on the ticket and the rest were ticketmaster fees.
Keep in mind the only tickets actually being sold by the Jets on tickstmaster are the blue dots, the red dots are all resale that can be sold for any price.

During the regular season there were tickets that I could see through my Jets account that were more expensive to buy that way than go to ticketmaster. Not sure what was up with that.
