Last week I noticed that the fee charged by the Rangers/Ticketmaster for reselling our tickets went from 10% to 16%. The fee was originally 5% when it was TicketExchange and then was raised to 10% when they re-branded it TicketsNow a few years back. Now without warning and right after season ticket renewals were due, they jacked it to 16%. It was already nearly impossible to sell my remaining games for anything near face value but this just adds insult to injury.
I emailed my account rep to ask about it and he called me this morning to say it was reversed. When I went back to the site, it was now showing a 12% fee. Still not back to the 10%. I asked him for a refund of my deposit for next season. After 10 years of being a season ticket holder and over 40 if I count my father's time as a season ticket holder, I think I am done.
I'm still getting a 10% fee on ticket exchange. Went in to my Rangers team account and tested with a ticket and put $90 as "Your Payout" and the "Buyer Sees" was $100.Last week I noticed that the fee charged by the Rangers/Ticketmaster for reselling our tickets went from 10% to 16%.

you might want to check your mathA price of $90 to you should show a price of $99 to the end buyer if it was 10%. $100 would imply 11.1%. When I put in $100 it showed $112 implying 12%. That was only after I complained at it showing 16%.

Or your starting point.... The price is $100. You get $90. The juice is 10 percent. While the buyer may "see" $100, he will also pay juice on the $100, plus fees for convenience I am sure.
No, it's always been like this - the fee is 10%. If you had a buyer sees of $100, your payout was $90, which is a 10% seller fee and what you have now (10/100 = 10%). It's pretty clear cut, the only unclear part is that they don't allow decimals on the exchange listing so they round up the buyer price but don't round up your payoutYou could compute it either way but the bottom line is that before this change if you expected $90 then it would list for $99 before ticketmaster fees ($9/$90=10%).

Now if you list for $90, the buyer sees $100 before ticketmaster fees ($10/$90=11.11%). That is a price increase that has been sprung upon us without notification. As I mentioned in an earlier post, on Friday it was actually 16%.

Is the FDNY / NYPD game on Saturday included as a double header with the Sabres game or separate admission?
Considering that:
1. NYPD / FDNY is at noon, and Sabres / Rangers is at 7pm, I say no.
2. It's a "charity game", so tickets were sold as such. So I say no again. The "Battle of the Badges" game is sold out.
If you have a ticket for the matinee, you could always try to stow-away and stay for the later game, but with all the face recognition / cameras around, who knows what penalty Dolan would extract from you... Besides, that's a long time to wait between games...
I am sure alcohol will NOT be served at the matinee...
I've goten those same calls from the Isles and Jets and they were always at a number that I don't publish. I feel like they do a little digging before making those calls.No surprise, it looks like the Rangers are making phone calls to try and drum up business. My buddy who shares my seats with me just got a phone call from a rep asking about interest in buying a plan. He surmises they got his number at work through his ticket exchange account. Told them he shares a subscription with a friend, they asked if he had any interest in his own plan.
Those survey requests go straight to my trash folder. I remember maybe 2 years ago MSG sent out a pre-season survey to get to know the fans. I started it up and the questions were super intrusive basically how many kids do you have when were they born and what school do they go to kind of thing. Details like even an IRS hacker wouldn't come up with. Last survey I ever openedThe last question in the MSG survey was 'Can we have the name and number of the people you share your seats with so we can send them a survey also?'
People with bridge seats must be getting massacred this seasonI think get in price for tonight is they pay you $35 to go.
