Quattro!!
Well they could possibly sell more tickets due to the corporate support in Central Jersey, other than that, I don't really see it happening.
The Devils new arena will also hold about 1500 less people, so that will lead to more sellouts. The Devils had multiple crowds this year that would have been sellouts in Newark.
I don't trust that article.
How can all 3,000 seats from $10-$32 be sold out if the current partial STHs didn't get a chance to LOOK at them? And other than club seats, there are PLENTY of lower seats available, and I bet most of them haven't even been allocated yet.
And I thought the $10 seats weren't going for STH but for gameday sales(like they did in Boston)? How can they be sold out?
Either that article is written by a Pejorative Slured chimp or Vanderbeek is lying or making a panicked frenzy to the folks out there to hurry up and buy tickets that are easily available.. And given the ineptitude known as Devils marketing, I tend to go with the latter.
And as much as I bleed Jersey red, this team isn't selling EVERY GAME out since 1) Too much going on in metro area, 2) They will be playing teams like Florida, Phoenix, Montreal, Tampa, Atlanta, Carolina, Islanders and 3) They're 1 loss away from being the laughing stock of the NHL.
and the true success of the new arena will be in year 2 and beyond...lots of people will show up in year 1 just to see the arena because its new.
don't get me wrong, i hope the new arena turns out great and is a great atmosphere and i look forward to going to see games there...i just think those attendance projections seem a little unrealistic.

New Jersey is 3rd and $43 more expensive than the Rangers, when you consider this and all the other problems the CAA had, it's really no surprise that we couldn't sellout games this year and also why it's not unrealistic to think that the Devils will have abundance of soldout games next year and beyond at the Rock especially when you consider it holds 1500 less seats than the CAA and the seats in the upper tiers will be so much cheaper.
Nets games are sold out or not?
Because if thet are, then you can't amke an excuse like it's on highway and no means of transportation!!!!
Hopefully, they do sell-out!
The reason is that at CAA, we don't get money from parking, food, beer, hats, jerseys, etc. The Rock gives us the majority share of all of that, except parking which is more or less non-existant.I don't see where they are that much cheaper. For the regular season (based on the NJ website), the upper levels of the CAA are between $20-70 a game. In the new building, they range from $10-100. I can't believe there will be THAT many seats in the $10-35 range (moreso than in the CAA) to make that much of a difference.
From the pictures that I could see, it looks like the majority of the seats are in the lower bowl and in the balcony behind each net ($65-100 seats). It doesn't look like there are a ton of seats in that "sideline" mezz and upper levels sections.
At the CAA we have the highest ticket prices in the regular season.$10.00 tickets????????? Must be nice.
In Vancouver the cheapest seat regular season ticket is CDN$32.75 (US$29.57) and that is for the non-premium and non-premium+ games.
The cheapest second round play-off ticket for the 'Nucks was CDN$105.00 (US$94.81).
And the Canucks have been sold out for years.
$10 tickets in a new arena? Thats amazing.
At the CAA we have the highest ticket prices in the regular season.
Actually, you don't. Vancouver's are the highest priced in the regular season. NJ was 5th.
My understanding is that there are several teams with higher ticket prices including Toronto ($37 to $182 for season-ticket holders) and Vancouver.At the CAA we have the highest ticket prices in the regular season.
The last time I saw figures the Devils were on top, but I grant you it has been a while. Regardless, at the CAA we were top-5 at least, but once we move to the Rock the numbers will fall down to around average.My understanding is that there are several teams with higher ticket prices including Toronto ($37 to $182 for season-ticket holders) and Vancouver.
Agreed the artical in the Record is B/S even if it is Vanderbeek being quoted but, with that being said the arena will still due well.I don't trust that article.

According to the chart noted above the Devils were #16 in the league for 2006-07 and #14 for 20005-06 for average ticket prices. gate receipts ranked you in the low 20's - almost 1/3 less that the Leafs.The last time I saw figures the Devils were on top, but I grant you it has been a while.

The seats which will be purchased by the general fanbase will have lower prices. The corporate seats have prices which will raise, and those have already sold out, but the general seats are the ones which will have generally lower prices.I don't get this feeling that somehow the Devils are going to lower ticket prices when they move.
The ticket prices will almost certainly be higher. Their may be a few seats that are lower priced, but overall, my guess is that their average will rise, not lower
