I like paper tickets for their commemorative value, and the 50th anniversary ticket booklet clearly shows they're nicer than a QR code on a phone. However, this is a move that the entire entertainment industry has taken. BC Place has moved to all digital tickets, and Ticketmaster has been very eager to eliminate hard copy tickets, or print at home. The advantages for them are obvious: They get to track who uses the tickets and sell that info to marketers, artists, and venues. Plus they get to advantage their own resale marketplace (double dipping on high service fees). They shouldn't be charging extra for people who spend several thousand dollars on season tickets, but they no doubt have the data to show that the vast majority of those entering Rogers Arena already used mobile tickets.

And from the email today, mobile tickets don’t even work for Android users (half of smartphone users).

I did it on Desktop, and it seems to work fine. The only payout options were Account Credit or Cheque.

Ticket Exchange is now up for pre-season.

Did they say how they’re giving out or when we’re going to get the cards?

Does the ticket centre charge to get them printed? The mobile ticketing website says they'll print them for you if your phone breaks. Could even try asking them to print a batch of them. Anyone who has gone to the movie theater knows that nobody keeps them on as soon as they take their seat. I can see a use in the concourse because it gets crowded, but otherwise I'd like to have it off.

I don’t think they’re turning on Ticket Exchange until the regular season since they aren’t doing general public ticket sales for the pre-season. Best bet is a resale site.

They said they were working on some new system, and would send another email about it. It should be ready for the regular season.

I think it might be a Ticketmaster wide thing. I can't login on the ticketmaster app either. I was already signed in to the Canucks app, so that is working fine.

Now it’s showing the barcode and I can add it. Just an early glitch.

Still can’t view the barcode or add it to my mobile wallet yet.

Are we free to move around a bit then? Makes more sense to try and space out if it’s only 50%.

I was interested as well, but with COVID, I have no idea what they’re doing with the buffet. I would inquire since that’s a key selling point. During a normal season, you can definitely sell them at a premium because of exclusivity, all-inclusive food, etc. I don’t know how it would be if there’s low demand/less money for entertainment spending.

I’m fully expecting them to have us pick them up at one of the preseason games.

Instead of any emails about this season, they sent an email to get me to buy a single game suite (I don't know if anyone else got it). It's kind of offensive to be told how I'm a "a valued Season Ticket Member" while asking for another $2,000.

As per the email with their COVID policy, the preseason tickets are being sent at the end of this week, with regular season tickets being released later pending an announcement on capacity limits.

From the season ticket FAQ: IF I’M NOT COMFORTABLE RETURNING YET, CAN I DEFER THE RIGHTS TO MY MEMBERSHIP (SEATS) TO THE 2022.23 SEASON We are optimistic we will be in Step 4 of our provincial re-start plan with an increase in indoor spectators to start of the 2021.22 season. With that in mind, we are not currently deferring memberships to the following season.

Well, we got an email. 50% capacity, proof of vaccination, mandatory masks, and tickets for pre-season will be available by the end of the week. Tickets to Training Camp and Canucks v Flames preseason at Abbotsford Centre also go on sale on Monday.

Yeah, but you’d sell 3/4ths of the games, and just go to the 1/4th you want to see. Advantages to this is that it can be cheaper since you recoup your principal by selling your tickets, along with per ticket cost being 20% cheaper. You also get a better selection for the games you want to go see since quarter season packages are prepicked, not mix and match.

The Rogers Arena website now has an FAQ on the vaccine requirements. Saying you will require "full COVID-19 vaccination" but then also saying you only need to be partially vaccinated until October 24th seems contradictory, but whatever lol.

I really hope they come up with some way for Season Ticket Holders to connect some type of preapproval with the tickets so I can just scan my ticket.

If I had to pick, I’d rather them remove a mask mandate then go to full capacity. Of course, both would be nice, but if I’m picking the restrictions that I’d choose to keep with full vaccination, it would be capacity limits over mandatory masking

My only remaining question is if the Canucks will require full vaccination for the preseason, or will they follow the provincal requirement timetable and only require partial vaccination.

The Canucks also made Season Ticket info public after having a fake waitlist today. From what I can gleam, they don't seem to be publicly offering the food and drink credit anymore. They also released the "special nights:" OPENING NIGHT TUE. OCT. 26 VS. MIN DIWALI FRI. NOV. 5 VS. NSH LUNAR NEW YEAR TUE. JAN. 25 VS. EDM PRIDE NIGHT SAT. MAR. 19 VS. CGY COMMUNITY HEROES NIGHT SAT. APR. 9 VS. SJS FAN APPRECIATION NIGHT FRI. APR. 29 VS. LAK
