Playoff Ticket Thread
- Thread starter Aavco Cup
- Start date
We continue with our rotation in perpetuity. Pick up where it leaves off when the Jets make the playoffs. There is a thread where this was discussed quite a bit with what different ticket groups do.
Our group is one that fluctuates almost every season, so it’s our only playoffs together. I think keeping the same rotation would be easier if we were a consistent group. Since we aren’t, I feel like redrawing after 4 games keeps things a little more equal.
You will then be dealing when experimental probability each time you draw and things will likely not equal the theoretical probability of fairness.
I am in a second STH group as people drop out they are replaced by new members who assume the dropouts previous place in the playoff ticket order and regular season draft ensuring that the original members of the group don't fall victim to unfortunate redraws. If a new member gets pick #1 in the season after assuming someones spot or game #1 of the playoffs we really don't care as we are guaranteed our 1/4 or 1/8 ticket shares regardless of who leaves or joins our group. Don't care if the newby 1st playoff game or the guy that had been in the group for 5 years and dropped out it wasn't our turn to go anyway and doesn't matter if it is Joe or Jane up next the rotation is fair.

I think I have a great setup.... I pick the games I want, the share partners get what is left. This is the deal due to a work schedule that has my partner out of town for 8 day stretches and in town for 6 days...at times. They knew this was the deal going in, but they are happy because they get to pay what I pay for seats. I don't make a dime off this setup.
Well if they are your season tickets, it's your rules.
I own my seats, but all the boys in the group did sign a very fair contract for ticket sharing, drafts, etc (all equal) and we are low drama so it works out. Same group since day one and will continue to be for years to come which is nice.
That's a great deal for you. Hopefully you can keep it going long term with the abundance tickets on the market for the regular season at STH cost and your buddies don't bail. Getting in for the playoffs can help keep friends in groups.
In my main group we draft the games and people can do what they want with them if they are away on business or busy. Guys in our group can draft A+ games knowing they will be on vacation or away on business and sell for face value on seat exchange if they desire.
My main group operates like this. No contract but pretty sure I can trust my Dad and our other member. Our rules are simple, pay your money by April 15, playoff tickets before each game.
Good luck to everyone looking to get some last minute tickets tomorrow.

the pessimist returns
I'm looking forward to reports after the game from our empty seat spotters so we'll know if it was a "real sellout".

It means a scalper got stuck with his seats. I've bought stubhub ticket for concerts in the last hour before beginning and you can litterally see the prices fall with each refresh.
The issue with re-drawing every 4 games is the possibility of the same people losing the draw, whether it be choice (preference) or possibly games this year, consecutively; however you could make a rule to fix that.

If any seats haven't been scanned in by the end of the first period, someone from TNSE should print out those tickets and hand them out to random fans at the street party.
Yeah, I know there are legitimate reasons why people might show up very late but still...

The shit storm that could cause with the STH would be massive. If I was very late to the game for some reason, got there and found out TNSE gave my seats to some random partier from outside, I'd be f***ing livid.
What if my car broke down? Bus was super late? Kid got sick? Etc etc

Just got a pair in 327 for tonight's game off ticketmaster! happened to check before the 2pm release and there was a couple lodge and a pair in the the upper deck!
Edit:
Was just a flurry at 2pm, was probably 50-60 tickets, lots of pairs of 3 or 4 together that the Wild must not have been using. Seems to be gone now.

The Game Day releases went quick. Reminds me of how quick you’d have to be for them when the Wait List Game Day releases came in seasons 1&2...

Funny how Winnipegers don't usually want the best ticket, they want the cheapest ticket!

Yup, just checked and found a loge seat available for tonight.
I am trying to follow the atmosphere in Winnipeg via internet and I am pretty sure that I have to book flights for Playoffs 2019.
I am more worried about the tickets than the fact that Jets have not made it yet to 2019 playoffs, because they will. Is it possible to get tickets for Friday game for example 500-700 $ range.
