RU SERIOUS Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) 5 hours ago, BCNeil said: My face value for the finals was $150 each. I remember because I listed game 5 on ticket exchange. It would only allow you to charge 10 times face, $1500 each for game 5. For round 1 that year. I sold the first 3 games on craigslist for $900, $750 and $900 for the set of 3. Game 7 for $600 each on ticket exchange, 10 times face for that round. The Nashville round sucked, closer to $225-250 each. $300 a ticket in 2024 is not wishful thinking. You made good returns on those and yes (I just checked my old statements) and my 2011 1st Rd. regular STH seats, located in sec 302 were $70 that first round in a half season pkg. That was in the good 'ol days when you were guaranteed to make a profit on every ticket sold - as every game was sold out. I remember those days. But since around 4-5 years ago I stopped making profits on tickets as season ticket holders and fans dried up considerably as fans got fed up with the perpetual losing, to the point we're at today where it makes little sense to be a STH as it's almost 100% certain you can find tickets on the open market - right up to game time below cost except for rare Marquee games - let alone the Canucks themselves started "Dumping" hundreds - sometime thousands of 1/2 price seats to students and giving many away to charities at the last minute in an attempt to fill empty seats and avoid Rogers looking like an empty crypt. I have friends who are STH's that have lost a fair amount of money in the last few years unable to sell games for any amount of money let alone all the time, anxiety and effort trying to sell them. Same happened to me, my last season as a STH where I swallowed a number of games at substantial losses as no one wanted to pay for a Tuesday weekday night game in the middle of January against Arizona - if you know what i mean! Knowing the way things are with inflation and how Greedy Aqua-lini has become, I guess there's no limit to how much the Canucks are willing to gouge their fans. Bringing the wife and kids to see a game nowadays almost needs a bank loan, as that could run you anywhere from $400.00 to $1500.00 before beer & popcorn money. It's outrages to see that everyday normal Canucks fans can't afford to see their own team ! It's almost a crime!

Oh, absolutely hahaha. I can see there's a new press conference today for the Canucks, but it's like an hour long, so I'll have to wait until I get home to watch it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sat in different rows and found ten or higher to be too high up (unless you're center ice) as the person beside you is always leaning forward and you can't see haha. I've sat in Rows 4 and 6 before this season and enjoyed them a lot better. I'll have to use the virtual arena app you showed me and try to get the best seat for me.
