When you confirm your ST for the playoffs, you get the option of purchasing extra tickets for the playoffs at ST prices.
Ticket/Attendance Discussion: The Sequel
- Thread starter nobody imp0rtant
- Start date
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.

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.People in Edmonton have no friends to watch with, that's probably why.
That wouldn't make me want to go at all but it is at least kind of interesting.

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?

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.
Sec 322, row 11, for example. $196 standard ticket Game 1, $395 standard ticket game 2. $389 game 5
No idea why this is happening. Looks like the Jets adjust prices on ticketmaster but not on the season ticket holder portal.
The price that I see for those seats in the Jets season ticket holder portal is $256 and then the same $196 on ticketmaster. This is what I also saw for some game during the regular season. Certainly interesting.
Those Ticketmaster fees are also super annoying. Example: if I want to sell my tickets for $250/ticket, there is an extra $100 in total fees (roughly) on top of that, which inflates the price by quite a bit.
Seems like there is some sort of algorithm that adjusts the price based on supply and demand (Friday night game for game 2 attracting more demand than a Wednesday game I guess).

Throw them on Fans First. The displayed price is what the buyer pays.

Those tickets will be sold by tonight, probably a last minute group deal or something along those lines
Looks like it as those tickets are now $185 from $196. Would be nice if making a commitment in the pre-sale had the same discount. Lesson learned for future rounds and years in the playoffs I guess based on weekdays and late start times.
Yeah it's pretty civilized and less crowded. Lots of tables to sit at. A DJ. People were doing the Boot Scootin' Boogie the other night...so room to boot scoot!
IMO Fans First should be everyone's first option. You pay what you see and nothing more. They take a commission out of the seller's share, but very reasonable. They are also super easy to navigate. I've bought and sold using them and would highly recommend them over other options.
