  1. I dumped my seasons, as soon as they asked me for a deposit, while we were still in the middle of the Covid crisis. I have zero regret. Now, I'm going to the games that I want, for a fraction of the STH price. No more commitment, no more monthly payments, no more dealing with low-ballers. I had seasons in UB4 defensive zone. I'm now buying only lower bowl tickets. My next move is to let my Seahawks seasons go. I used to sell my Seahawks tickets between 2 and 4 times my cost.. It's now hard to break even even though Seattle will probably make the playoffs this season. Season tickets are no longer a good investment unless you are a big fan who plan to attend 90% + of the games. If that's the case go for it otherwise buy your tickets on Stubhub, just a few hours before a game that you want to attend. Professional teams will need to adapt. I did.
  2. I got it too, even though I am no longer a season ticket member.....
  3. No worries. It will change about payment plans. The entertainment industry is taking a big hit. You can get tickets for the Monday night Football in Seattle next week for $50 and it will get lower by the day. In Toronto it was season tickets sold out, waiting list plus no payment plan. Now it's no more wait list but no payment plan. Watch, they will offer payment plans pretty soon. Did you see the crowd in Buffalo last night? In Montreal? Thousands and thousands of empty seats in the Bell Centre. When was the last time it happened?
  4. Let me tell you that not only the world changed but also the entertainment industry. I dumped my Canucks seasons in August 2020 (I have no regret about that) but foolishly I decided to keep my Seahawks seasons. The border is closed. I cannot go to the opening game next week. Not a big deal right? Based on my previous experience, the market for the opening game in Seattle is at a minimum double face value in my pocket but more accurately 3 times the cost in my pocket and that is with all the Ticketmaster fees deducted. Well.... the game is in one week, my tickets are not sold yet and I'm asking only for face value. There is no way that I will get that. I will sell my tickets for the opening game for about a 30% loss if I'm lucky. Can you imagine the price that I will get for the other games? I hope that the border reopens so I can use my tickets. I will dump my Seahawks seasons for the 2022 season.
  5. I dropped my pair last summer. After seeing the team finishing last in the North Division and the rumors that say that they are keeping Benning, Green and the whole coaching staff I am glad that I left. The future doesn't look good IMHO. I hope that I'm wrong though.
  6. I just read an article in French about the Montreal Canadiens season tickets waiting list. Back in 2012, the waiting time, based on the number of people on the list and the renewal rate was ....35 years. In the article, they were reporting that someone who put his name on the list in August 2020 was already offered just 3 months later so at the end of November 2020, full season tickets.
  7. If I had known, back in July, that by only paying my little 5% deposit, It would have been so easy to just postpone every single monthly installment (Like you guys did) maybe and I say maybe, I would've kept my seasons. I was expecting the Canucks to put a lot of pressure on us to continue paying but I was wrong. I have to admit that I was also a bit disappointed that the Canucks made no effort in trying me to stay. True that I was not owning club seats or lower bowl tickets. Anyway, if everything goes back to normal, I have no doubts that there are thousands and thousands of available season tickets. I just lost my 4 year seniority. The secret is just to hit seats from the get go that I will like without worrying about relocation. Seniority might be good for a unionized job, it means little when we are talking about NHL season tickets.
  8. That should be the least of the Oilers' worries. If there are thousands and thousands of available season tickets, no one will buy some just to make a buck. It would be a very bad move.
  9. Other than the 5% deposit/first installment did the Canucks ask you to pay more?
  10. That would explain why it took them 12 days to call me and why he didn't put any pressure on me They have so many people to call and they are focusing on the more expensive tickets. A lot of decisions I make, are taken with my heart. Not renewing was 100% taken with my head. Whether I like it or not, buying Canucks season tickets is in some ways an investment. I think that due to current circumstances, it's a real bad one right now. Yes, they are refundable but if we get hit hard with a second wave, and people start asking for refunds, we will see how fast the Canucks will issue those refunds. We all laughed when the Canucks said that it would take them 4-6 weeks to issue refunds for the last 6 regular season games. I just hope that they don't start having cashflow issues.
  11. We need to pay 5% of the total bill immediately. Installments will start later. I didn't ask any question about when the next season would start. They probably have no idea.
  12. The Canucks just called me, 12 days after the deadline for renewing. Quite frankly, I was surprised that it took them so long. They will release my seats. I'm officially out. He didn't put any pressure and he understood my point of view. I hope to come back, maybe, once everything goes back to normal. I was not in for only 4 seasons but it is what it is. Good luck to all of you. It was nice exchanging here. Go Canucks!
  13. They will not sell beer or alcohol this season in the NFL. Their offers of food and non-alcohol drinks will also be extremely limited. Some teams announced that their stadiums will be cashless. Seattle is one of them. The social distancing is between the different groups that are together (Maximum 10 people). If you have 2 or 4 tickets (Maximum 10), you can all sit together (Masks still mandatory). You will be 6 feet away from the next group of 10 (or less). I know that this is the NFL, but I would expect the NHL to just do the same.
  14. My friend, back east, has 4 New England Patriots season tickets. They received an email yesterday. The Patriots don't know yet how many fans will be authorized to attend games but if there are any, masks will be mandatory as well as social distance. NFL games last near 3 hours and a half. You are about 4 hours in the stadium. I know that it's for our protection but when I wear a mask, I start feeling like I desperately need air after only 15 minutes. Attending sporting events sounds really fun now huh? Cheering, yelling for my team with a mask. Nobody will hear me from 2 rows. Talk to your friend, the entire event wearing both a mask... Again nobody's fault. I have no alternative to propose. I just don't see myself be a part of this. Some people might go once and find the experience so depressing that they won't come back until life is back to normal. I'm afraid that tough times are ahead for the sports industry. I wouldn't be surprised if some teams don't survive this including the entire CFL. The Kansas City Chiefs gave Mahomes 503 Million, most of it guaranteed. I don't get it. Not right now.
  15. Dear x,Thank you for your continued support as a valued Seahawks Season Ticket Holder. As planning continues for the 2020 season, there have been numerous reports recently speculating on the NFL schedule and stadium capacities.We are continuing to follow all local public health, CDC and government mandates, as well as NFL policy, to ensure the safety and well-being of all of our fans, players and staff. League owners recently voted to approve that the first eight rows at each stadium will be unavailable to fans this season to allow for proper on-field distancing of our players, coaches and staff. While there is still much to be determined, we will continue to communicate with you as additional details for the season are confirmed.In light of today’s uncertainty, we would like to offer Season Ticket Holders the option to pause season ticket membership and either request a refund for the 2020 season or keep credit on account for 2021 renewal. Please let us know your preference by completing the form below: 1. PAUSE YOUR SEASON TICKET MEMBERSHIP One-year deferral + request a refund for your 2020 payment or keep credit on account for 2021 renewal. This will pause your season ticket membership and your seats will be released for the 2020 season only. You will retain the ability to purchase same seating location in 2021 subject to state and local public health, CDC and government mandates, as well as NFL and team policy. Refunds will be applied to your most recently used card(s). Please allow 4-6 weeks for your refund to be processed. 2. WAIT AND SEE Keep credit on account as we confirm details and government mandates for the 2020 season. No changes will be made to your season ticket membership at this time. If stadium capacity or game schedule changes occur you will still have priority for ticket options. Any unused credits from 2020 will roll over to 2021 season ticket renewal or, upon request, be refunded.
