Season Ticket Holder Discussion Thread: Pt 3

[poolparty98]

I saw my invoice on my account manager, price dropped 100.00 from last year for two seats. Better than an increase, about a buck a game discount per seat.

Wonder if they offer more Oiler bucks or any other perks??

Mine went up 2%. DRL upper deck

 

[Cam98]

Sec 103 row 17, prices stayed the same as last year.

Maybe they were waiting for the Shames to get the boot to prove that maybe life isn't so bad after all missing the playoffs for the 12th time out of 13.

I suggested that earlier. I thought the Flames would be axed in 2nd round but it happened earlier. Being that theres so much competition between the Alberta orgs I figured it was untenable to do STH renewals while the Flames were competing in the playoffs.

ALL the Canadian clubs being out in first round is probably a major win for the Oilers. Basically suggesting that they are not much worse off as a roster than the teams that either didn't make playoffs or nosedived in first round.

If the playoffs have demonstrated anything its how eerily similar we could be to Colorado, Dallas. That the Oilers could easily be in those spots right now with just a few player improvements. That those two clubs have been able to improve their roster and outlook is good news to the Oilers.

so you not renewing?

50/50. Because they are drink rail I can still get rid of them fairly easily. If they were regular upper bowl seats I’d be long gone.

 

[Simby]

No price increase for my upper level seats. Still way overpriced though!

The Oilers must be paying attention to the resale marketplace. The DRL are some of the most sought after seats. Those are retaining price every night and often getting more than that in resale. The DRL are night and day more in demand that any non premium seats. The DRL experience feels a little bit premium. Seat, table, row to yourselves. Its almost like loge.

Soon as the open house where I saw the layout I thought DRL would be popular. They had screwed up with the sight lines initially but once they elevated the DRL seats in some sections where they were too low they are a great way to see an event or game. DRL essentially are not that much different an experience as Loge. For a lot less cost.

Upper bowl, dead center ice, aisle seats......exact same price as last year.

 

[Oildrum]

Section 115, same price.

As someone else mentioned earlier if I was upper bowl it would be a no brainer, I would be out. Those are easily replaceable seats. But since I am lower bowl attack twice side I am questioning it more as getting back to these seats in the future might be difficult.

Are you sure? I thought that too about mine but called the ofice. They reminded me I did the 2% rebate last yeaar. Will take that option again and save $. DRL are the best in the hous. Can always resell on StubHub.

hmmm good point, you could be right.
Id have to go back and look, as I usually do that too. I just looked at the last years invoice in the manager and noticed it was 2% higher

edit you are correct, same price. my bad!

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

interesting perks...is it too little too late for STH?

That is interesting. Finally adding some perks. Wonder if “beverages” include alcohol?

You would think. So your 8th beer is like it’s free!


Nice to see some extended perks. Long time coming.

Those will be snapped up when existing STH can change or upgrade your seats.

Aha! Yes, I am sure I am....sorry to be a dolt. I can't wait to see the details in the package. Anyone know if we still get Oilers bucks?

I have been a seat holder since 98 and I have yet to lose money on my seats. I take in 10-12 games a yr the rest I sell. Now I have never lost money on my season tics I also have yet to make anything as I sell my tics at cost and I usually unload most before the season starts before the team starts to suck and people don’t want to buy them without a huge discount

Good to hear, I had usually gone to about 6-8 games a year, and had been buying mini packs. Quit doing that 2 years ago and just bought single game tickets that I wanted, saved a lot of money. Refused to go to games this past year as the cost is just not justifiable for the constant losing and ineptitude. Glad to hear that season seat holders aren’t taking a hit for this past decade

It's kind of insane that STHs didn't get perks like this before now. It's been over a decade of darkness with constant support...but I suppose it is the Oilers after all.
