October 26th is circled

It will be little consolation, but I do expect some lines to be crossed in this one.

The trade off is they don't charge more for premium games during the season like they do in many cities ( Montreal especially )

The hidden advantage is that if they completely cancel a preseason game for some random reason (unplayable/unsafe ice, TD Garden floods, monkeypox, zombie apocalypse), and they don't reschedule it, you'd probably get face value of your ticket back, so you'd get more than the preseason game is really worth. Granted, given the timing of the preseason games, you're not likely to get weather-related incidents...but arena snafus are possible. And given the nature of preseason games versus regular season, if there are any issues with playing a preseason game, they're highly likely to just let it go and not play it at all.

Conversely, if you're unlucky enough to have a premium regular season game cancelled, you again get only face value of your ticket back. That said, for a regular season game, they're almost always going to reschedule. If the Habs game on 2/12 gets snowed in (it's happened at least twice in the last four or so years), you'd better believe that they'd reschedule.

The real inconvenience comes when deciding how much to sell/barter tickets with friends. If I weren't knowledgeable about the flat pricing, I'd feel like a bad friend buying a $65 face value ticket for $20...but that's probably what a preseason game is actually worth on the market. Conversely, I'd feel taken advantage of if someone asked me to pay $120 for a $65 ticket - but that's what some Saturday night O6 games go for.

They made a big money grab on STHs this year - that's why you didn't see fawning articles in the Globe about how generous the Jacobs are for only raising prices by $1. But I'm not sure if many STHs will be complaining after the fact...there theoretically should be increased interest in a team that's gotten to the Cup Finals.

Still charging full season prices for three preseason games.....pisses me off that we have to pay regular season prices for scrimmages.

Take it up with Mr. Burns.

You know, I'm not a season's ticket holder but I enjoy your posts, Talkinaway. You're always worth a read.

 

[Fenway]

Single-game tickets go on sale Wednesday at the TD Garden box office and Ticketmaster.com/Bruins.

 

[McGarnagle]

They don't come to Anaheim and LA until March. That sucks.

February 8th against the Coyotes. Gotta get tix to bring my youngest son. He loves the Coyotes and we've been to their visits to Boston for 4 years in a row so far. Usually they play in December.

 

[JAD]

They play Toronto 3 times in the first 20 games; Montreal 3 times in the first 28 games. Then Montreal in February and Toronto in March.

 

[HustleB]

9 Matinees feels like way more then normal. I prefer 7 or 8 pm.

 

[bruinmann77]

i be in vegas for their trip there

 

[wintersej]

Wish the end of the season had all the division games.

 

[Bruins4Life136]

Don’t know how this team bounces back. Can they win 40 plus games again?

 

[Bruinaura]

So what game on the schedule can we get this guy to attend?

 

[bruinmann77]

I will be in Vegas when the bruins come to visit

 

[Clint Eastwood]

So what game on the schedule can we get this guy to attend?

I didn't know Phil Kessel was a Cubs fan.

 

[Glove Malfunction]

With price increases every season it hurts to pay full price for preseason. But I think it is a league wide thing and not unique to the Bruins.

We're looking at a Weekender package here in AZ All Fri/Sat/Sun games (19 total). Cheap seats are just $19 a game. And just 20 minutes from the house. $10 to park. Aaaand, it's the Coyotes.

 

[Bruinaura]

Aaaand, it's the Coyotes.

Theoretically is the key word

I expect the Bruins to get off to a so so record before revving up after the New Year

The Red Sox had a transcendent season but started slow and still haven’t got to 10 over

Tickets are plentiful and cheap

The Bruins hit January 1 around a 90 point pace I think their is not a lot of money to be made on secondary market

I expect the Bruins to have a monster final 41 games and end up in the 105 point area as a 3 seed before powering thru the playoffs in winning the Cup giving the fans 3 parades in 3 years

I hear the Bruins are having ‘bounce fabric softener night’ October 17. Not sure if they are a new sponsor but it’s a cheap shot at the Lightning who have gotten even softer with the fake news about Ryan Callahan injury. And the trade of JT Miller. Dan Girardi also apparently leaving.

I actually feel bad for that eventual beat down Tampa will get in round 1.
