Being a season ticket holder, I've been faced with the decision as to whether I am going to renew my tickets or not. I'm ambivalent at the moment. I'd like to hear what some of you guys think?
Does the seniority factor into that decision, or is it merely the cost? I'm at the point that I don't want to give up my seniority, but, like you, I got a massive increase in my season ticket cost last year. I think any increase in the ticket prices this year is going to push me out. I'll still support them, but I'm not going to buy ticket packages that increase more than my yearly salary percentage.All depends on the price for me. If they raise the prices by 20% like last season they will price us out. I would like to get tickets again, but I don’t see that as very likely. I’ll probably get a half season or 10 game pack or something.
This is only my second season having them, so I’m not too worried about losing seniority. I’ve gotten spoiled from going to so many games, so I would hate to give them up, but we honestly don’t make enough for this to be a lifetime thing. Just a treat before we have kids lol.Does the seniority factor into that decision, or is it merely the cost?

I'm not a season ticket holder but honestly, next year is going to be a much better team. Kyrou, Thomas, a possible huge UFA signing, Fabbri, possibly a trade for a top six forward, probably trying to rectify the Allen situation. I'm confident this is a much better team next year.
Said the same thing when my kid was 1, now hes 10 and I have an 8 and 5 year old to go along with it, I do not plan on it anymore, maybe when the youngest is in college lolI plan on getting season tickets at some point in my lifetime. I currently have a 1 year old so it's not in the cards right now. All extra money goes to him
That's a lot of maybes to hedge your bets on.

I'm planning to renew. I got relocated this year because of the theater seating section, but the Blues treated me quite fairly in finding me comparable seats.
One MAJOR concern I have is that the ticket contract says something like "buying season tickets shall not include tickets, or the right to purchase tickets, to any other event or game, including, but not limited to, any NHL Winter Classic, NHL Stadium Series, NHL All Star or NHL Draft event ("League Special Game") held in the St. Louis Blues market or hosted by the NHL at Scottrade Center or otherwise in which the St. Louis rules, operations and presentations of NHL games and events.
I'm kind of angry that my seniority does not assure me of the ability to buy tickets for those events. I think that's a crappy way to treat your most loyal customers and has me wanting to say something.
What do you think?
