Like maybe we'll get Matthews and Chychrun at the draft. Then Sign Lucic and Stamkos at free agency? And then trade Sedins for Crosby and Malkin? We would have 10 NHL centres. Crosby Stamkos Malkin Matthews Sutter Horvat McCann Granlund Vey Cracknell Never lose a draw again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices are staying the same (as expected) with some lower priced lower bowl seats now added. So prices are actually dropping. Do you have season tickets? Will you be renewing? Yes I have Season Tickets, and yes, I have already renewed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNeil Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Town hall at 7am?? I hope they have some pancakes ready.... Hopefully no kids will be there. Was it last year or the year before they had some kid ask Linden about if he like Bure. I am sitting there thinking I drove all the way from Whiterock for this.....and its all staged softball questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt116 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 2015-2016 is my first season as a season ticket member (got Full season), I got a seat up at the UB2.... I am a die hard and just go the games by myself (hence just one seat). Been to 80% of the games this season. Debating about renewing, will wait after the monday trade deadline and see. Here's a side question for you guys--how difficult is it to buy a single seat from the secondary market (i.e. stubhub, CL) as obviously most seats are sold as pairs. I am just thinking if i don't renew, and still want to go to the games from time to time next year by myself, then i can still consider getting a single seat from the secondary market, if that's not too difficult.

It's easy to do. There's lots of "sets of 3" available on resale sites. They usually only sell 1 or 3 tickets (can't buy a pair because you'd leave them with a single ticket and they don't want it). Many times, single tickets are cheaper than other tickets. On stubhub you can select "1 ticket" and it will only show you the listings which let you pick 1 ticket. There's lots of them. If you go to 80% of the games though I'd just renew your ticket if I were you. Stubhub is always going to be way more expensive due to the fees. You figure most season ticket holders who sell on there are trying to break even or make a tiny profit... then stubhub charges a 25% fee on top of it. Other thing.. if you are just buying a single ticket you should have a way bigger selection at the relocation event. Any set of 3's you can take 1 ticket off the end.

How about getting singles off Craigslist? Is that more difficult to do? I don't mind downgrading to UB4 or UB3 come the relocation event. Although currently my seats are quite decent (row 11 UB right on the blue line) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bt116 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Might just bite the bullet and renew.

bt116 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I actually had decent success selling off my UB2 single seat from the NHL ticket exchange site. Sold off a the habs game from earlier this season and the flame game a few Saturdays ago for $40-$50 above my cost for those games . Also sold off a few other games at cost (Anaheim on new years day and Philly from earlier this season). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNeil Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 You should just go to ticket exchange or stubhub.....set it to one ticket and take a look. The people with just 1 seat left will often sell pretty cheap. You can find lots of people with 3 willing to sell 1 or all 3. Then if 1 sells, they can easily still sell their pair.....this is usually not as cheap as people dumping a single, but gives you lots of options to buy.

SteveAngelis Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Have and will not be renewing. I do not mind a loss now and then but when you have been to 8 games and they have lost all 8, several by scores such as 5-0... that is not fun.

TheCammer Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Really debating renewal. I've had seats the last 18 years but $11,000 buys some nice vacations. Can't believe there isn't a reduction or better benefits and incentives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also surprised at the lack of benefits/incentives. If I were in their shoes I would have made a much more comprehensive list of perks. As far as price reduction goes, I think we've seen a symbolic one. The last time prices were increased I believe was the 12/13 season. There were no increase in prices for 13/14, 14/15, 15/16 and now 16/17. That's 4 years in a row without price increases. And since the last price increase, the Canadian dollar has collapsed, and inflation has risen a bit. So prices have technically dropped after inflation. Also, prices are now actually starting to physically drop in the lower bowl and I suspect they will keep dropping slowly each year if the team keeps losing.

I remember the first year I bought half season and then after that it was full season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wai_lai416 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 i wanted to renew.. but i don't want to renew this early.. i don't want to commit to renewing my season tickets without knowing how the team performs towards the end of the season and what direction we are heading towards the off season.. if i dont' renew now.. i'm sure i can just sign up as a new member anyways.. not like it's going to make a difference.. Canucks cheaped out on me this year so i have no incentive to renew.. i got 0 members benefit/perks this year.. i don't even know how that's possible.. at least last year i was invited to 1 event and pictures at center ice.. this year i got absolutely nothing =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
