Season Tickets Renewals

[Spartachat]

It is season tickets renewal time! I am curious to see who how many people here plan on renewing or not. Personally, I plan to renew, but somewhat grudgingly.

I wish!!! The good news for me is that with a team in Seattle I'll get a 2nd nearby game a year!

Apparently prices went up significantly compared to other years

Surprised to see ticket prices increased especially given how bad the team has played this year.

How much of an increase? Is it all sections or select sections?

 

[Tuna99]

Isn’t Melnyck moving the team to Cleveland?

 

[playasRus]

I'm considering it but do the perks really make it worth it if I'm only planning on going to 10ish games and selling 30ish?

I think the 200 ends went up by around 10%. They also got rid of the SportChek zone, so tickets in 317, 318 and 319 went up close to 50%. Lower bowl ends didn't seem to go up by too much. Coca-Cola and McDonald zones seemed similar.

Doubt that will go well with current STHs

Maybe Anselmi left because he knew he could not increase ticket sales after Melnyk's proposed price increases.

If you can Sell 30.. you should work for the Sens

I live in the Yukon so I can't

You think big ufas like Jonny Oduya pay for themselves?

Unfortunately, I have 200 Ends, and I think my section, or those areas have the highest increase. I will grudgingly renew, but I asked for some perks to counter the increase, which I will get. I love visitor end 2nd bowl. You see Ottawa shoot twice and a decent vantage point in the 2nd period.

I gave them an earful, but they have always been very accommodating whenever I needed something. No complaints as far as customer service.

They were trying to get me tickets this year but I blew that off, want something next year, maybe try and squeeze valet parking

I don't know if anyone here was at the Buffalo game, but the sound system sounded totally different. At puck drop, my eardrums were bleeding as it was so loud, but they constantly adjusted and fiddled around with settings. By the 3rd, it sounded really tight.

 

[Golden_Jet]

I love the free parking perk.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Likely done myself....the savings one can get from the aftermarket are probably to much to ignore at this point for me. Add in i was in a section that had it's prices literally double and that I honestly feel the team is not spending to win at this point.

Likely won't go to as many games but will splurge on better seats and enjoy my nights a little more when I do go next year.

Any predictions on how far the season ticket base will drop by next year? I'd wager that it drops 15%. This team needs to milk the absolute balls out of the draft, and for the love of God, don't go on a winning streak and end up drafting 9th overall. Top 3 pick will be much more exciting for fans heading into the summer than winning 10 games this year and making this entire season of crap worth nothing.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Looks like the Sens are playing themselves out of a top 5 picks

Well I was part of a group of roughly 100 STH's who had the 50% hike so I would say 95% of those likely wouldn't renew....perhaps they go to cheaper seats but like I had mentioned when the tickets are readily available last minute at less than what a current STH pays...add in zero other incentive from the team, the owner seemingly stripping it down, then why would any sane person renew for a full 41 outside of wanting a specific seat for the year and playoffs?

Id say your estimate is probably accurate....surely they will not increase their number this year.

I have noticed a lot of little changes happening this season and next.

No more bobble heads nights
No more 1 dollar pop and hot dog Thursdays
The 28 days of renewal prizes are less
No real meet-and-greet during renewal for people that renewal early
The number of things to redeem with VIP points is more limited per choice
High ticket prices for season seats in most sections
No more SportsChek zone
etc...

There hasn't been much improvements either.

It's almost like they've taken out the free stuff and added in extra costs and are hoping that Sens fans won't notice.

Not that I really care about bobbleheads, but still.

Unless im not seeing something, this is essentially what has happened.

With the lottery the way it is, only the top 2 spots really matter. Arguably even dead last.

The rest have relatively equal shots at moving up.

From random posts I have read, some people seem to think that this team "only"needs to win to fill the arena. Of course, winning helps but I don't think it's really the problem as we have witnessed last playoffs. It was the first time I heard about a playoffs team not playing at full capacity

This team needs a new arena downtown so as long as they don't have one, attendance will be up and down
