Sticks in your craw I keep my full season cause of the custom benefits program , I attend half the games a year and sell the other half on ticket exchange for sellers credits , but at this fkn rate I’m better ditching my season tickets and buying for less on the secondary market it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's insanity having season tickets anymore with all the frustration of going to games you don't really want to go to and trying to dump unwanted tickets - usually at a loss for most games as there's a glut of tickets on the market and there are much better seat locations availbale too on the resale market than anything my past 20+ years of seniority ever got me to. Last fridays game against the PENS had numerous lower bowl tickets in the end zones going for as low as $70 (All IN) on Stub Hub and that was a "Marquee" game. Some of the weekday games against the cr^p teams are even cheaper. Why throw your money away and have all the hastle? The pain was certainly not worth the hastle for me, especailly for the last 8-9 years while the team has been so bad and likely at least the next few until JR somehow manages to untangle the Jim Benning Mess that's we're stuck with now - if he ever manages to do so before he dies of old age.

Canuckle2017 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Wasn’t expecting the benefits but nice surprise. Wonder how fast after the 21st we find out what we will get. Wouldn’t mind the alumni suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerenityNow Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I can't say I'm impressed with these same old benefits. How many times do you want to sit in the penalty box? Don't want to skate on center ice. They used to offer gift cards to places like Tim Hortons or the Aquilini restaurants. We always went to the "meet the team" event but I don't even have interest in that this year. I know, I am a big debbie downer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SerenityNow Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 You go in a draw for those items, is that correct? I recall selecting those benefits before and never getting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gotten a couple upgrades to lower bowl over the years, but I'm not sure if that was a "win" situation or something we just got for selecting it. I recall we sat in the front row once, right beside the opposing bench. That was kind of fun. It was vs. Chicago and I sat right beside John Scott for a little while.

If the Canucks go with a tank approach ie rebuild how many will consider end their Season ticket purchase. I say that because that's the case for me, I'm getting long in the tooth and going through further seasons of turmoil and losing, I'm just not up for it. I've held season tickets for close to 50 years always under the belief that things were/would get better. A rebuild would put that as mission impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever want to attend a game in person, I will just do what everyone else does and buy off the secondary market for pennies on the dollar. A rebuild is the only way there's any hope of getting a strong contending team again one day. But you are right, it won't be anytime soon. We all know they should have done a proper rebuild back at the beginning of all this "reset" nonsense and they'd be contending now. If they don't rebuild they will continue to limp along just hoping to get squeak into the playoffs for one round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luigi will not live long enough for a total rebuild. Sounds harsh but that's life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkWithElias Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 So I always thought Full season ticket members always get the best pricing for gaming tickets at 40% off…. but I saw a student rush deal for last nights Montreal game upper was $59 and lower was $69 my cost for the game was $75, imagine paying $300 to sit lower bowl just to find the Canucks were selling tickets at $69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SerenityNow Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Went to the holiday shopping event last night. The highlight was seeing Ryp. Honestly, that's been the highlight of my Canucks membership this year, full stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
