2019 Playoff Ticket Thread

[Gm0ney]

Tickets go on sale tomorrow to the general public.

I've only seen the price range so far (First Round games, Street Party, and Viewing Party tickets on sale Monday), but from what I see on Seat Exchange,

P1: $444 (including fees and GST). $418 is the highest price I see on Seat Exchange.
Loge: $394
P2: $369
P3: $322
P4: $270
P5: $237
P6: $200
P7: $161 (including fees and GST). I couldn't find any for sale on SE.

Here are the STH prices, for comparison:

Big discount for STH's on playoff tickets. I was on Ticketmaster Friday for the presale and cheapest tickets were $292.

 

[barrywpg]

There were a couple of loge seats (in the corner) when the presale started.
Still there just a little while ago. I.d like them, but at $836 (with fees) for a pair, no thanks.
The upper deck seats seemed to sell, but the 150 or so lowers no so much,

There are seats available on SeatExchange for less than face value. If you go through Ticketmaster, you’re a sucker.

Glad I saw this thread. The pre sale email was in my junk folder. Was able to grab a single seat for game 2 The exact seat that I wanted.

There are high fees on SeatExchange tickets though - higher than regular sale tickets on TM I think. I didn't see anything significantly below face value on there.

It's like a garage sale. Gotta get there early to snap up the bargains.

There are quite a few tickets on seat exchange. I’d expect prices to drop shortly.

When the cameras pan the crowd, I expect to see empty seats.

Ticketmaster sales are now live.

P1: $418 + $26 fees = $444
Loge: $394 + $24 fees = $418
P2: $369 + $24 fees = $393
P3: $322 + $24 fees = $346
P4: $270 + $22 fees = $292
P5: $237 + $22 fees = $259
P6: $200 + $20 fees = $220
P7: $144 + $17 fees = $161

New queue system was nice compared to smashing f5 and hoping for the best.

SeatExchange fees are 18% of the ticket price. So these are the maximums (i.e. full face value + SE fees):

Level	Price	SE Fee	Total	Diff vs. TM
P1	$418.00	$75.24	$493.24	+$49.24
Loge	$394.00	$70.92	$464.92	+$46.92
P2	$369.00	$66.42	$435.42	+$42.42
P3	$322.00	$57.96	$379.96	+$33.96
P4	$270.00	$48.60	$318.60	+$26.60
P5	$237.00	$42.66	$279.66	+$20.66
P6	$200.00	$36.00	$236.00	+$16.00
P7	$144.00	$25.92	$169.92	+$8.92

Anyone else getting 'ticket maximum reached' on Ticketmaster? I can't complete any orders. Seems like a lot of seats are available.

I ended up grabbing some on SeatExchange though - actually saved a few bucks!

Why I like being a STH.. The price for 1 seat on here is more than I'm paying for 2 seats as a STH.

I have Game 7 seats for Round 1 in a loge if you want to skip the TM fees.
LOL, who am I kidding, Jets in 6! #Go Jets Go

Some people say the Jets STH don't get any perks.

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Since this is not my year for playoff tickets (half-season ticket holders alternate years), and for the price of a pair of P1 tickets I can buy a lawn mower and BBQ (I need both for the new house), I'll be at home cooking burgers and possibly doing some yardwork this playoffs. May even have enough left over for a lawn chair. Maybe I will get a case of Budweiser Whiteout swill to make it feel official.

I spent so much money at the playoffs last year I'm actually glad to have the year off.

Go Jets Go!

Playoff ticket discounts are the biggest perk.

The markup for Ticketmaster and SeatExchange over STH prices for Round 1:

Level	TM markup	SE markup
P1	86.09%	106.72%
Loge	86.11%	107.00%
P2	86.43%	106.56%
P3	99.19%	118.74%
P4	100.14%	118.37%
P5	119.12%	136.60%
P6	120.88%	136.95%
P7	123.92%	136.33%

But it's a pretty steep, multi-year investment to become eligible for this discount. If the season ticket holder base erodes a bit in the coming years, they're going to have a lot of empty seats at those prices.

 

[Benny27]

Game 1 or 2 not even sold out, I think the price gouging by the Jets/NHL is starting to catch up to them...$700 for a pair of P3's for round 1, WTF
Even $320 (for a pair) for P7 is stupid
Seat Exchange even worse with the extra fees...

Yeah, I bought a few games last year but after looking at the prices this year I don't think I can afford to go to a game.

Well, most people aren't home from work yet. Time will tell. Although yes... the fees are flippin' awful.

Yep, and there's no guarantee of playoff games every year. There is however a guarantee of being forced to pay for pre-season games every year. That has to be factored into any post-season savings calculations.

 

[Benny27]

Ya but isn't that telling that tickets didn't sell out right away? Yr 1 or last yr in the playoffs there was no chance of scoring tickets after the sale started. Now of course it could be that the Jets aren't playing the greatest so some people would rather not spend that money thinking they will lose.

Where are you seeing this, for game 1 the cheapest i saw are $200
