Thanks. Apparently they made it a lot harder to figure out how to delete listings on their updated site.

I also have a new hire. Was annoyed last year because she kept telling me she could get me a playoff strip if I put down a deposit, but when the time came she gave me the usual BS. At that time, I told her I'd even take a single ticket strip and she assured me that a single ticket strip would happen. Sure enough, nada. Really wasn't expecting to get a strip with the demand, but just felt annoyed that she egged me on/didn't know what she was talking about.

Wow, maybe its just me but you seem pretty calm about that. I would have lost it! I can't believe your rep did that...

I was a first-time STH so I didn't want to start off on a bad foot with my rep. Maybe I'm naive, but I feel like she genuinely thought that she'd be able to get me a strip and didn't know the demand would be so high.

In hindsight, I probably should have tried to escalate it...

I got that from my rep last year. He did wind up taking care of me, but I had to complain a lot to him.

By the time I got to log in and look the only halfs available were in the lower bowl or on the bridges. I know that I'm late to the party though so it's ok. I ended up picking a mini in the 400s because its my favorite place to sit and I figured I would go to most of the games.

Problem is the last 3-4 years I've spent wayyyyyy to much money on playoff tickets, but it is what it is.

That's the reason why I took the Chase Bridge when they offered me a half season even though it was a bit pricey. Playoffs tickets go crazy on the secondary markets and I refuse to pay $250 - $500 for one seat.

Not really STH info but for those going to opening night...

I'm complimenting your restraint, haha. I just think I would have lost it, personally.

Islanders Brooklyn experiment off to a rough start. Opener dropped to $20 on stubhub and was over 1000 eaten tickets:

For today's 1:00 PM holiday game, double the amount unsold on ticketmaster:

And on stubhub, 1700 unsold with lowers going for $40

I was talking to someone I know to went to the opener and they said the LIRR was a disaster. So much for the easy train ride to Brooklyn

Do they do the fan cam for every game or just select games?

I'm pretty sure they only do it on opening night. I don't think the did it for the finals two seasons ago.

Islanders tickets going for $13 tonight

STHs on the glass are taking a near total loss. Rangers definitely have an extra 2 home games in NYC coming up this season

It's still early, but I warned people against getting Islanders tickets for speculative purposes. This is not at all surprising to a lot of people.

I'm planning on going to the 12/2 game but the islanders on ticketmaster wanted (and still wants) ridiculous prices. Stubhub (and ticketmaster resale) is a lot saner. What's funny is that the prices for sections near where the rangers shoot twice are more expensive than where the isles shoot twice (at least upstairs).

I've actually been keeping track of prices in my section at Barclays. They have been really lowering prices as it gets closer to game time.

The home opener in my seats was $275 before the season and went down to $70 the week before the game.
Tonight's game was $55 for full season ticket holders and ticket master has it for $45.

I can't tell you what the 'get in' price is going to be, but I can tell you that it will probably be lower than it is now.

Probably right

Seems a lot tougher this year to move early season tickets. Lots of October and November home games.

There's always a lot of October and November games because of the dates MSG likes to leave open but the difficulty in moving tickets this year probably has more to do with the Mets being in the playoffs and the football teams actually being decent.

Seems exactly like last year. This is the point of maximum supply, everybody has their tickets in hand and selling every game. Then December hits and everybody wants to see hockey and spend with the family when it's freezing out. And then January comes around and all of a sudden there's no tickets left for anything and prices shoot up. Next playoffs and insane prices and everyone forgets the low beginning of the year prices and we do it all over again the following October.

But yes, right now many are focussed on the Mets

But it can't get any worse than for the Islanders. Saturday night and there's 1300 unsold tickets with 20 minutes to go. There's a guy that dropped a quarter million dollars on 6 glass seats and he can't give them away. There's no takers above $200 for $1000 seats and he ends up eating about 4 seats per game. Prices don't matter for them, there's just not enough fans to watch in Brooklyn. It's great for hockey fans in NYC, sit wherever you want and name your price
