I'm currently on the fence still about renewing. I reached out to my rep today regarding my thoughts and waiting to hear back with if he can help me with anything. I would prefer seats on the Flyers Shoot twice side and i've mentioned that to him before but i'm not sure they'll be available. If they were my decision would be a good bit easier.
I'm glad that it seems like they're listening to the STH's for once but i'm just not sure if it's worth it to continue to renew. The playoffs are what make having Season Tickets worthwhile so hopefully they'll go on a run but that's after the deadline.
The resale market this year has been better than previous years (at least for me) which is nice because I sell a good portion of my games. This year i'm at a 5% loss for games sold, last year it was 11% (Row 2 217A) and the year before -7% including RS and Playoffs but -14% just Regular Season (Row 4 216A) so things are trending in the right direction it seems.
In the end i'll probably renew but i'll be on the fence til the last minute unless my rep can pull some strings.
Admittedly I feel kind of dirty asking him to help out there because it shouldn't work that way but i've seen a few people have greatly upgraded their seats just by threatening to not renew. Worth a shot.
Best of luck on your decision... your situation, high cost and high resale numbers certainly make deciding tough... IMO nothing is off the table, and everyting is fair... they are making good Revenue and you are spending considerable money... Your Rep greatly benefits from reeling you in, I imagine, and would sorely miss keeping you. I'm sure they will do whatever they can, within their reasonable means to keep you in the fold... I believe you should pull out all the stops to achieve what makes you satisfied re-upping, and, in the end, you can backtrack without penalty, as long as you dont walk.
I'm happy that my situation is so much easier to decide on... and I'm relatively content with the bang for my buck... If the Flyers return to the days of being constantly in the Hunt, I will once again have zero regrets in laying out the bucks.
I at times wonder what I'd do if I were younger and financially stable enough to face the decisions of the new wave of Social Event Game Attending... Presently, I just want to attend with my son, watch a good quality Game... and get the hell home after they announce the 3-Stars... but then again, I'm old. Haha
