OT: Official 2013 ticket thread Part 7 (ALL ticket talk HERE)(RULES IN FIRST POST)

[Looch]

3200 tix left. 230 is the lowest right now. Bet you can get in for 140-150. Doubt much lower since anything below that will get snapped up in a second.

The market got very weak in 20011 for game 7. I sold everything and bought a single for $90 two hours before the game. I'm sure this will be no different.

 

[Sec311Row6]

yeah, i'll be looking to go tomorrow for under $160ea, hopefully its money well spent

I got pulled into business travel for game 7 in 2011 and I think I sold for face value on stubhub. wasn't that year a back to back?

Yes.

Plus I am positive people didn't feel like paying to see another Game 7 loss on home ice. Easy to forget how beaten down fans were about the playoffs after the previous couple years (and decades).

Not to dig up the hatchet…but, I do believe you sold those game 7 tickets for a profit. We had a lengthy back and forth about that a few years ago amongst many posters There were many who chimed in. I will do a quick search to see if I can find it. But I am fairly certain it was game 7 you said you sold for a profit.

I have enjoy cordial postings with you in the years since this came up. And I don;t want that to change. I just remembered that game in particular since it was the subject of much discussion. I have to call em how I see em.

 

[SpeedyLazaro]

I'm not fond of round 1 game 7's on home ice

In most cases, they shouldn't be allowing a game 7 because we are usually the higher seed.

if they lose, I save myself the heartache

If they win, JJ whacks my Amex for another few hundred bucks and we all move on together!!

....and then there was 2013 where I sat at home for the greatest game ever.

Ya, hopefully sales are slow. I think sellers are prob waiting till late tonight or tomorrow morning before dumping. Anyone been watching total # tix available this afternoon?

 

[talkinaway]

StubHub inventory was around 3100-3200 last night after the loss, around 2800 this morning, and 2400 now, with no noticeable dips in price - in fact, they seem to have gone "up" (but by "up", it's probably more that the cheapest tickets have been selling, not that folks are actually bumping prices higher.) They were around $230 for the cheapest yesterday, and now they're around $245.

Thanks for info. What's your take on the next 20 hours?

No clue. Looch knows much better than I - he said to expect $150-$170 for entry awhile ago, in which case - DON'T TAKE MY TICKET! That said, I can see why folks are wary to go. In the words of Drago, if the Habs die, they die. There's still more work to do, and a little disappointing that it took the full 7. But if they win, it'll be depressing.

I was bored and checked for the tickets sold on StubHub for game 7. (If you pretend to sell a ticket, you can get data for prices of tickets that are sold. Fun the way they hide that, huh?) There were a few tickets that sold for under $200 a few weeks ago, but not many. One mysteriously sold today for - $0?? Huuuh?

Oh, and I wish someone had told me long ago how useless Price Alert is. Tickets always gone by the time it comes, AND they always send a "Oh, here's a ticket that's CLOSE" email. Thank you StubHub, but I wanted a single $150 balcony ticket, not two $260 tickets! Grrrrr....

Is it sad the I remember this conversation? This was right after I had signed up for this message board and asked myself "what did I just get myself into?"

lol. I'm sure there are a few here who remember it. It just stuck out at me because he made a point to say he sold them "at face value" on stubhub. When in fact he didn't. Which is what the whole thing got blown up over.

 

[slim04]

26 rows in the section.

 

[RaskIsABrickWall]

26 in the row.

About 1200 tickets sold yesterday. I there is s a good chance prices never really drop off off. Have to see what the market does this afternoon. If they sell at a decent pace we may even see an uptick.

I actually sold everything I had. So I'll be playing the market along with you I think I'm gonna settle for trying to get in at $200 or under. $150 may end up being a little bit of a stretch

 

[dafoomie]

Got into game 2 for $80 so I'm a little disappointed the market seems a lot stronger for game 7. I'd spend $150 for a single but not sure if I'd spend $200.

 

[bruinsden]

After trying four times to win tickets during Toucher and Rich I have resigned to the fact that I will just be going to the Providence game and streaming the Boston game to my phone. $264 on stubhub right now.
