Season Ticket Holder Discussion Thread

[SullivanT]

They had a loge table for $60,000 for all 4 seats. Better deal than the SN club and Sky lounge

Well you are paying almost 15000-20000 more then 4 seats in either of those sections and you have to commit for like 4 or 6 years (can't remember). Don't see how it's a better deal.
What are the extra benefits of being in loge seating compared to Sportsnet or Sky lounge?

thanx @Triz! i'm trying to figure out where i want to buy seats this year for a few Oiler games and i needed to know more details.

 

[Sniper99]

Any word yet if season ticket holders will get to view the open house before the general public I haven't been sent anything since the ticket pack email.

I doubt that will happen.

If you click on the last row of the upper deck you can see the drink rail seats. You can spin the view and look around and behind and see the concourse behind you.

Biggest problem with bowl seats in the upper bowl is you can only access them from the upper concourse. Unlike Rexall where you could access the upper bowl a variety of ways in Rogers Place it is only from the upper concourse.

So imagine you are sitting in the first row of the upper bowl (sweet seats!) but need to hit the bathroom.

You are walking back up to the upper bowl, locating a bar, waiting in line, waiting for a stoppage, walking back down.

Need a beer?

As well, compare the views. Last row in a section isn't much worse than first row.

That's my 2¢

^ To be fair, there are only 12 rows in the upper bowl so it will be easier to get to the concourse which is MUCH bigger than the Rexall upper concourse (that thing was a joke). The larger upper concourse will also have many more amenities and bathrooms resulting in less time spent missing the game.

The amount of washrooms and point of sale locations in the new rink is massively larger than Rexall, these services will be a night and day difference especially when the Rogers Place app is used which will show how long lines/wait times are at the concessions and bathrooms. With 5 levels of concourses, people will be distributed much better than 90% of the people at Rexall cramming the main concourse.

Just a couple random comments but I sometimes wonder if we were a bit spoiled with the no obstruction design of Rexall. I know people won't miss much about the rink apparently, but in the new design a few things put me off in relation.

All the club seating, SN, etc has partition surrounding it so that if you are sitting on one end of that or another theres a wall right next to you. A bit odd. I like to be able to see everything at a rink. Or during concerts. They'll be many concert setups where these seats may not be seeing the whole show on bigger production tours.

Next some of the upper seating around the rink is very close to line of vision with the jumbotron. I mean you just barely see the end of the rink from the other end with the jumbo situated where it is(if the views are accurate in the link above) But again I wonder how that works out for concert views and how high they can yank the jumbotron to get it out of the way. (This has probably been posted but I missed it.

Lastly the girder trusses in the new rink are, sorry, ugly. I loved the radiating free standing girder design of Rexall. This one looks like some kind of bridges holding up the roof. Or an attic. Probably not what most people think about but Oilers games tend to have me looking skywards a lot.

The support doesn't bother me, but I can't disagree with this

I don't know about you but I'm going to get my beer from the bar and urinate in the bathroom. If you wanna do it the other way around then suit yourself.

Lol I'd stay with the light beer heard the dark stuff tastes like ****

 

[Kennedy2013]

Hey guys I looking for someone that needs a partner for 2 tickets. I would be interested in a split with someone. Let me know if you have some tickets you're looking for a partner for. Thanks

 

[CanmoreMike]

Do the Oilers usually pre-sell Oil Kings games to Oilers Season Ticket holders before the general public gets a chance?

 

[CanmoreMike]

I don't know about you but I'm going to get my beer from the bar and urinate in the bathroom. If you wanna do it the other way around then suit yourself.

And you got me there LOL! I messed that one up pretty good.

Based on my experience with Rexall beer it seemed like the bathroom was a fitting place to assume it came from.

 

[SullivanT]

Do the open house tickets just show up in my offers in my oilers account at 10?

 

[binderjinder]

anyone having issues getting their open house tickets in the account manager?

 

[mullet]

Yeah no luck sent email request

 

[SullivanT]

Got mine at first it kept saying no events available then it worked got mine for 10 am so pumped.

 

[madmutter]

I got kicked out of the process and had to start over a few times. The last time it told me I had already used my offer but the tickets were in my cart so I finished it from there. All good now, tickets in my account. I can't manage them though.

 

[Trizent]

Got mine

 

[madmutter]

Yes, then you use the offer to pick your time and number of tickets.

 

[mullet]

I have been clicking steady since 10am with no luck - this sucks!

 

[Rkhtsen]

i'm not having any luck either. Are all season ticket holders guaranteed 4 tickets or is there a limit?

 

[G Unit]

Same here! I'm getting this message: Unfortunately there are no items for sale at this time. Please check back later as items may become available to purchase. Click "home" to return to the homepage.

I'll keep trying, hopefully it works soon!

 

[binderjinder]

best just to call in, i called and they did it over the phone for me.

Thanks i took your advice! - turns out because i'm on the seat registry (and not yet an actual seat holder) i don't qualify, which is fair enough, although they weren't sure why the option showed up for myself and another registry member in our account managers.
