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 =/ I guess it depends on where your seats are. I think all UB3 and UB4 are sold out. So if you currently have a seat in UB3 and UB4, i don't think you will be able to get those back if you sign up as a new member. You will have to get the more expensive seats in the lowerbowl or UB1 and maybe UB2. About the benefits/perks that you didn't get. That's a strange one. Did you not get any emails from the Canucks informing you of the various season member exclusive events? I would definitely talk to my rep. about this if I were you..

86Viking Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I can see getting a discount by signing up early like 10-15% maybe? But if there is no real incentive ya, why not wait till the draft and FA to see what this team does? What if they decide to be a budget team and sign low end talent? unlikely When is the deadline to renew before you lose your priveledges to those seats?

DonaldBrashear Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Fyi... the deadline isnt a hard deadline. If you dont renew by the deadline your tix arent gone. They will phone you and email you for months. This is.my experience and what ive heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bt116 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Well...after this morning, I am about 90% set on NOT renewing now. Disappointing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldBrashear Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 And there goes the deadline. My odds of renewinf just dropped drastically. Its hard to imagine us being competitive for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jovocop55 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 So many ppl I know are not renewing next season. Gonna be bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzy Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 As long as there are more suckers replacing the tickets you give up Aquaman will be happy. Benning and co will give the usual blah blah blah at the fan talks about how we will be competitive etc. One year deals this season to apparently flip at the deadline for picks. How did that go again Jim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna be bad Ditto. 4 out of 5 people i know arent renewing. One of them has been a sth for 21 years... through the keenan years. So that shows how bad it is. The reality is edmonton and calgary are going to dominate us for the next 10 years just like weve dominated them for the last 10. Even UB4 is going to be hard to break even on with fees taking up a chunk. So why throw money away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those empty seats you see are usually already sold. It's just the season ticket holder didn't bothering showing up for the game, or he/she was unable to dump the ticket.

Unfortunately I haven't. I normally take in a game or two every year but this year decided flying FROM from the UK to watch that 'product' they put on the ice. Saved myself a cool £2000 so I'm happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did that go again Jim? There's no suckers left anymore. The waiting list is gone. The canucks probably spent millions of dollars last year advertising on the radio stations trying to lure new season ticket holders in. Anyone can go and get season tickets right now. After this year, there will probably be about 3,000 empty season ticket seats that they can't fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wai_lai416 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 and as it stands i'm willing to let my season ticket renewal expires and see what position we draft to decide whether i want to renew or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 ppl say they wont renew. Hypothetically we sign Stamkos....watch ppl flood back Sucks we didnt move hamhuis to gain assets, status quo it is I guess. You would think you would take a last minute offer like Vanek deal. I enjoy going to games, will still go, will never get season tickets as I dont live close enough. Bleed Blue and Green! Now everyone go have a few beers!

DonaldBrashear Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 The real problem this year will be selling tickets to new fans. There's nothing to hype. Last year we made the playoffs at least. And then during training camp McCann/Virtanen were there to look forward to, and Hutton was a nice surprise. They probably sold a lot of last minute season tickets to people. So how will the Canucks sell tickets this year? UFA Signings. There is no doubt in my mind that aquaman is going to make a huge splash in the UFA market to try and make up for this poor trade deadline miss. That means Lucic signed. Will Lucic help sell season tickets? Maybe. Maybe people will think 1 guy like Lucic can turn a whole team around. But I don't. I think Lucic will be a total disaster, will come in with an attitude and probably divide the locker room. It will probably also be one more reason for the Sedins to be willing to leave the year after. Not interested in paying $5,000 to watch this train wreck...

Most empty seats are in the lower bowl it seems like. I feel bad for the canucks season ticket sale reps. They will have a tough job to convince people to renew. I am pretty sure i will not renew, unless they throw in Major incentives, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
