nuck nit Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Games cost me $10 per month with an Indonesian internet wireless provider. Team 1040 broadcasts and my imagination provides me with the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrible.dee Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 They need to reserve part of the lower bowl and call it "The Surrrey section" or something. Tickets = $20 (Payment plans availlable) Must have prove of Surrey residencey, in order to buy 1$ beers until the end of the first. At least give the new fans a look at how a hockey crowd used to act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THERETOOL Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 people are starting to resent the way this ownership has treated its fans .. sadly the people who can afford to go will sell the place out the second the team starts to trend upwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrible.dee Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 people are starting to resent the way this ownership has treated its fans .. sadly the people who can afford to go will sell the place out the second the team starts to trend upwards The NHL was serriously mismanaged in the 90's, Looking back, if there had been somone at the helm who understood hockey's entertainment value, and where it came from, I think provisions would have been made to prevent what you mentioned. Game atmosphere would have been recognized as a key element to the product, and steps would have bee taken to preserve cetain things. It would have ment more money in the long run too, had that old atmosphere been preserved people would have gone to games just to experience it, whether they knew anything about the game or not. And it would have done a hell of a lot more for converting casual sports fans to hockey fans, then having those same people walk into a morgue-like barn to watch a trap-off.

Grapefruits Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 If you think $40 a ticket to go see the Canucks is "poor value" then so be it. It's funny though, that some people say that, and then go and buy a $4,000 TV. Those people value TV more than the Canucks. Some people value Canucks more than anything. Those are hardcore fans. Some fans say... I love the Canucks... but then they list a 10 page long list of things they would rather have, like fancy phones, nice cars, designer clothing, big flatscreen TV's. If you offered me tickets for $10, and I said "Nah, I'd rather use the $10 to go and see a movie at Cineplex. Better value", wouldn't you think I was a loser bandwagon fan? Where's the line drawn? You seem to care far too much what people think of you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldBrashear Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 You seem to care far too much what people think of you...Actually, this entire discussion happened because other people care too much what I think about them. Some people apparently take offense when they are told they aren't true fans because they say they prefer to watch the games on TV than in person.Try and keep up with the convo please "grapefruits".

CanuckofSteel Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The Canucks are taking way too long to set a date for single game tickets. My buddy sent me a message today saying he has season tix and that he would give me a deal on them. The Canucks just lost out on the extra revenue they would've gotten from me. Note: I am not buying his season tickets, but will be buying tickets to games from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know a season ticket holder make sure you buy them through their account, they'll get a couple bonuses, you might get a discount as well, cant remember.

I wasn't really joking either, I supose they couldn't call it "The surrey section" but I wouldn't care what they called them. They would be like Cage dancers at clubs, They woud demontrate the atmosphere the promoter is looking to create, and as we all know, Monkey see, Monkey do.....

BCNeil Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Seems not much is changing with the ticket sales staff. They are going to miss the days these games all sold out.They probably won't sell many preseason tickets at full price. BUT they still haven't even released preseason games for sale. The only team in the league that hasn't done so.They are also the only team that hasn't released the PDF files for tickets.So I cannot transfer my tickets to others. I called to enquire as I want to give my nephew the San José tickets, and he lives in Abbotsford and I don't want to tear up my booklets anyways. The lady wasn't aware what PDF files were, or that you could email them. I assume she must be gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroSen Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I would even throw the Whitecaps into this discussion. It gives the Canucks another competitor (granted not a serious threat at this point) however the Whitecaps are cheaper and the atmosphere is great! Does it mean I am not a Canucks fan? No, of course not. However I too feel that hockey is better enjoyed at home in front of the tv. As others have said, food and drinks are WAY more affordable, and you can have friends and family with you for big games. If Linden truly believes the market drives ticket prices, then we shall see what he does about it. I suspect ticket prices aren't going down anytime soon.

CroSen Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 And not to pain everyone with the same brush, however when the Canucks became "cool" again, the wealthy and coorporations started buying more tickets. The result in my opinion is that people just bought tickets for the sake of buying tickets, not because they are Canucks fans. I would rather sit near families or friends who scrimp and save their money to get to a few games than those who use the Canucks as a toy they pass around to their rich friends. The folks who scrimp and save usually are very enthusiastic and really passionate, which totally improves the environment for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
