Will Sens sell out their playoff games?

It was 2386 per ticket. In reality, if they win the Cup it is realistically 1800 or so. And this is if they require 28 games. Not likely. I haven't looked to be honest

With the original offer they gave out upon renewal where you'd get 2 tickets in your section at a discounted rate if you committed to both renewing and taking an entire playoff package, the package was about $3824 ($1912 per seat), and the prices per individual ticket were:

First round = $55
Second round = $89
Third round = $121
Cup Final = $212

For the offer for additional tickets they just gave out, the equivalent package would be $5000 (and 80 cents, if that matters..). So it's about $1175 more expensive for the same package.

I'm wondering how much of that $1175 was added to each round. As in, did they add it disproportionally to the first round and second round, or evenly to each round. Because you are right that it's not actually going to be the full cost they outline since they are statistically unlikely to play 4 games in each round, let alone play all 4 rounds. What they charge for the first and then second round is probably the most important determination because you know there is a good chance you will pay that.

If you need extra tickets, and you know you're going to use or gift all of them, then it is a no brainer to buy extras before the current offer expires.
 
Cyril Leeder said at intermission they have sold upwards of 10k tickets to SSMs. I believe that these are all complete playoff packages.

It doesn't sound like it will be as difficult to get single game tickets for later rounds as people are fearing, but that ultimately depends on how many of those 8k remaining tickets are 300 level, 200 level, or 100 level. 300s could be sold out for example, which would price out a lot of fans.

I think that the Leafs round will be impossible to get into, and if we make the cup final against a big name team or we face the Canadiens in a later round, it might be difficult. Selling 10k full packages is a great start, but I don't think Florida or Tampa in round 2 are going to be impossible games to get into.

My original gut reaction was that the no resale stipulation would stop people from buying extras, because the risk is so high, but it looks like they have sold a lot of what was available on the map.
Ya that topic came up when Hannah asked about Leaf & Montreal fans filling the barn possibly in the playoffs. I thought Leeder said there wasn’t a way of stopping it now, but they were working on a method. Maybe I heard wrong? I wondered about how they actually do that if I heard Leeder correctly.

look at the ratio of increases from round to round, and that is how the $1175 will be dispersed. Each round will cost more,

As far as I know, they block out Ticketmaster but they don't block the transfer out feature. So you could theoretically list them on a third party platform like Stubhub, Gametime, etc. What people are wondering about is whether they can actually come down on you for listing them on those sites. Ontario has certain laws about consumer protection on tickets, so I'm not sure if it's possible. Or maybe it's only possible before they actually run the payment.

The tickets offered this week had a very clear stipulation that they are not for resale. The tickets originally offered did not, and were exclusively available to people who chose to renew. Which made renewing a very good deal for anybody who might have been on the fence about leaving. If we get 3 home games against the Leafs, my pair of playoff tickets that cost me about $330 for 3 games would probably cost $900+ at the box office, maybe even more. So that's a really incredible amount of savings.

Round 1 upper half of third bowl, would not be at $900 at box office. Opponent would have no bearing,

The discount for STH is not $330 vs $900, don’t they usually show you on your invoice the savings.

Someone earlier in the thread said they think 300 level first round tickets were $150 or so 10 years ago. Which sounds roughly correct. 6*$150=$900.

Although, they could be less.
 
I can't see the 200s and 100s, but there are now less than one hundred 300 level seats left on the map of what was made available for SSMs to buy two extra ticket packages. Keep in mind, packages, meaning the entire playoff run, not just first round games.

Unless they held back seats, I doubt there will be any 300s available for non-SSMs. SSMs apparently get a crack at single-game tickets first, so if there are actually only a hundred 300 levels left to each game, I think those will be gone quickly. They apparently won't have any SSM discount worked in, but they also won't require you to commit 5k+ for a pair of seats.

No resale along with pressure not to resell, while well-intentioned, is going to make it harder for non-SSMs to get tickets. I'm not naive enough to think that tickets won't be on the secondary market, but they are doing their best to pressure SSMs not to sell.

That is probably the idea though. They want people to know that if they want guaranteed playoff tickets next year, they need to become a season seat member.
