Can we not buy tickets for game 4?? Everything I click on takes me to game 3 tickets only, need game 4. Unable to find anything on the Blue Jackets website.


Nvm: links on the official CBJ were not working, no matter what you clicked on sent you to game 3.

 

[Bobcat110]

Wondering if anyone has ever had standing room only tickets?
What is the cost?
How was the view?
Any idea when they'll be released for game 3?

I liked them. But I enjoy standing for the playoff games. The standing area is in lower bowl at top of sections usually behind handicap areas where the wheelchairs are. You are assigned to a section along with maybe 20 other people at most so you have your own assigned space and no one-stands in front of you(unless I guess a handicap person decides to stand during the game, but that hasn’t happened to me)

Is Seat Geek a pretty reliable source for tickets?

CBJ just released extra tix for tonight. Is the market really that soft?

Apparently........The upper bowl seat I purchased for last Thursday on Vivid was $170. Same seat for tonight is $68.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

I think part of it is that partial season ticket holders get allotted tickets for the first 2 home games for each round because they are guaranteed on their plans. It creates more general ticket available at the public onsale as well as a general fear of people not buying game 6 tickets until they know it is confirmed. I don't think people realize how ticketmaster works on the refund policy if the games doesn't get played.

Vivid is a secondary market website (aka scalpers), $68 was face value.

Got a call from my season ticket rep. CBJ are offering “multi-year” season ticket packages. Basically, anyone agreeing to automatically renew their seats every year for next 7 years will avoid the 5% ticket tax for those 7 years. Nice loophole. Additionally, CBJ cap any price increases on tickets to 4% per year. I was told there wasn’t an obligation to renew all 7 years, it’s just automatically done unless ticket holder cancels before normal renewal deadline.

I signed my 7 year agreement a couple weeks ago. I really love that the team was looking out for STH and worked out this loophole.

Really wishing they didn’t change the 6 game package to an 8 game package with a “free” preseason game package. Being out of state and traveling in for the games, it’s tough to justify the expense of two more trips a season

Anybody want a pair for Tuesday pre-season opener?

Hey all. I have Dish Network. They’re in a now 2 month long dispute with FSN. I need a link for a good streaming option to watch Jackets. I’m looking for something free that requires no sign up. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

bluejackets.com will provide for home games during the preseason. For the season itself... site rules prohibit discussing such, I'm afraid.

I got Hulu over Sling for this season as Sling didn't carry both Fox Sports Ohio channels, so there were times I missed games. I was also able to log in to the Fox Sports Go app and watch last nights preseason game as well.

I was thinking they just meant in terms of Hulu or Sling, or any of the current streaming services that are basically cable.

"Free" was specified, thus my comment. If we're removing that requirement, I can personally recommend Youtube TV.

There is an alley alongside the east entrance to the arena. Lots of bars and restaurants, including the best hockey bar in town, the R Bar. It is near the north end of the alley. There is a party on the plaza for opening night that day, as well. Festivities begin around 3:00.
