Pre-Game Talk: Predict the Crowd & Roll Call 2013-2014

[Devils Dominion]

The weak crowds suck, to be blatant as a long time fan.

Carolina and Buffalo, the building was basically full and had some juice/buzz.

But, most other games this season after the home opener, the empty seats and quiet crowd sucks the life out of the building.

Nothing like last year and for most of 2011-2012.

 

[DEVILS130]

Dang. I knew attendance was down this year, but the numbers are just plain depressing. Our percentage is less than FLORIDA

 

[BuiltLikeAnOx]

I will be at the game tomorrow so you can add 3 to the attendance

I know your hesitant to do it but you have to lay the blame on the Devils.

Doesn't mean anything, they draw way less actual fans and sell way less tix at way lower pricing.

Can't go by what some teams announce.

Ive been monitoring the ticket map on TM since Tuesday for this game.
very few tickets have moved since then, less than 50.

Single game box office pricing is simply too high and out of touch.

Instead of going to war with StubHub the Devils should consider utilizing StubHub data to their advantage. Heck, form a relationship with StubHub. Develop prices based off of their market value.

I've always maintained that the Devils try to "sell" you on their product but don't want to put in the work of making you want to buy it.

Sorry Devils, StubHub says you're tickets are way overpriced. I hope the Devils slash prices all around the stadium even if it means eliminating all inclusive food and beverage for Club seats.

It should be something they should look in to.

Right now, there are 677 tickets listed (still available) on Stubhub, beginning at $19 for Section 121.
There are dozens of tickets available south of $30.

On TM or at the box office, the lowest priced ticket available is in the upper 200 level defend twice zone at $44

There were no ticket promotions/deals for tonight's game.
If they had offered discounts, we would have seen a full house no doubt with a great hockey atmosphere.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Like a preseason crowd on here so far.

Pricing TOO HIGH ERIC

Really sorry to hear that. I wish the Devils would wake up.

 

[Benedict Parisechuk]

Not going to be a pretty number tonight.

 

[NJDevs26]

Yeah it's definitely got a Tuesday against Carolina type feel tonight. Tier pricing has been an unmitigated disaster.

 

[JK3]

wrong thread lol

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Ended up being 13,223. ****ing brutal.

 

[Lou's Koolaid]

15, 005 for the Ducks match up.

 

[NC107*]

13,500

 

[Wingman77]

One of the better turnouts so far this season based off of the eyes

 

[NJDevs26]

15,723 was the number. I wonder why TG isn't posting it anymore...he probably got negative feedback from people that assume he's making light of bad info.

And yeah it was one of the better crowds of the season by far. Definitely a lot of kids/college goers in the arena so the holiday bump is starting now. I do wonder why secondary market prices were so god-awful until the last day or two, this must have had a lot of last-minute buying.

what is everyone guessing on the crowd tonight? i mean the amount of fans actually there not tickets sold

Close to the number sold.
Roads are fine and trains only minor delays.

In about an hour when the sun goes down and the soaking wet roads are exposed to negative temperatures for the next 14 hours, they will not be so fine

Which is why I'm going to be be out salting

I'm not talking about your side road.
Major roads and highways have been plowed and salted and are good.

Common sense is for everyone to use caution and go a little slower.

Be safe everyone.

All of that salt that was put down today is at this stage in the game useless because of all of the traveling that has been done on those major roads and highways that have been good

Oh and if you're a Bergen County resident and frequent banks, fitness centers or other forms of business, we, like every other snow contractor will be out making sure you don't bust your ass or lose traction with your car. But thank you for the concern about my side road!
