The Aode is a tool option is skewing your results. Just sayin'.Prngr44 wrote:I know we've got a thread discussing STHers for next year, but I was looking to quantify it with a poll.
By "tickets" let's say anything higher than a 10 game pack.
If you mods want to just tack a poll on to the existing thread that's fine by me.
And that's the thing. Checketts and Co. took it in the hindquarters for a few years in ticket pricing. They were losing money, but gained back fans. Tickets are still cheap compared to other teams and other leagues. I get why season ticket holders are upset in the bump in price, but at the same time, ownership was unbelievably generous to us for the last 4 years and we were paying pennies compared to top teams in the league.glen a richter wrote:I was shocked how cheap a Blues game is when I went a couple years back and sat down in 113. Unbelievably affordable.

Try Rangers season tickets. I don't know how much, but I know it's too much when 1/2 of MSG is filled with suits from Wall Street entertaining clients and they don't show up til well after the opening face off. And in spite of all the money they charge to fill the garden (because they know they can get away with charging that) they still only have one cup in the past 70 years.DaDitka wrote:dmiles2186 wrote:And that's the thing.

This, sure 16 dollars in a 60% increase, but it's still got to be one of the cheapest tickets in the league. As long as ownership spends the cash on the team, I'm OK with it. Not happy obviously, but OK.
Our ten game pack (mezzanine high end) went from $16 per game this season (ice-your-price deal) to $18 a seat next season. I was worried it was going to be more. Our group is renewing again, in fact, I think we already have. That way we could get the discounted playoff tickets.philco_3 wrote:I got a 10 game pack and bought several other tickets through out the season. And unless they do a 10 game pack where the prices are the same for next year I wont be going to a lot of games.
I had a thought about this today. How many games have sold out? At least 3/4 of the games. I don't think they care if people like me (and I think Guppy), the former $10/seat people, cancel. I mean, if they keep them at $16, fine. If not, they think, they will have people lined up to pay the $22 or $27 gate price for them and come out miles ahead. Good luck. I didn't tell them to keep expanding the number of cheap seats like they did.Guppy wrote:Am not renewing. Called my ticket guy to let him know and he did not seem to care. In fact, I think he (Angelo) is there for the paycheck. He has done nothing to keep me interested in anything. I hear others get emails and calls on a regular basis from their ticket rep. Angelo just said ok thanks for letting me know and see ya later.
I think around 30 or so of the games have sold out if not more. I have already went in with somebody who is renewing his seats and will get 8 games from him. With all the other promotions they do around the holidays and the end of the year, it will not be that hard to go to games. There is also the student and military nights that I can take advantage of.Leedog wrote:I had a thought about this today. How many games have sold out? At least 3/4 of the games.
