Not a season seat holder. Was interested in seeing the results, but apparently can only see the poll results if I vote?
What is the logic behind that feature?

Good luck selling them. They are currently going for less than half price. I recommend that you really do some searching in the hope you can find someone to split them with unless you want to take a bath monetarily.

What I actually meant was splitting with someone. They buy 1/2 the tickets upfront at my cost. 2 of my buddies have been doing this for a few years and they say they get tons of calls from their Kijiji ads.
Sorry, I'm not a Tier 1 fan who can afford season tickets so I don't know when renewal deadlines are.
Let all the big talkers post a pic of their denied renewal. The sheep will be back....

You are taking this very personally.
Bought the full season off someone at cost this year (including rights to playoff tickets).
Had the opportunity to do the same next year but I passed without hesitation.
I can easily buy similar tickets on game day for my cost, if not cheaper. I ended up keeping 13 games this year but it was a helluva effort to sell the games that I did.
More stress than I need for sure
Not really... He's absolutely right
If they miss the playoffs next year (which they will) the org is in big trouble. That waiting list is going to disappear.Agreed.
95% renewals at this point would be a sickening message for the org. Its the unending message that this org can serve crap and people pay tons for it. Only now to see McDavid, through no expertise of the org, and only drafting him due to lotto luck.
The one bad aspect about drafting McD and getting a new shiny arena is the suspicion that it gave this org another free decade of blanket faith from STH that are all dialed in.
This is an org that pretty much fire sale'd all the players that this org sucked and tanked half a dozen years to obtain. That being one huge lie of a rebuild that never occurred.
What business improves their product or R & D much when sales are always at their max?
What business tries harder to please when sales are always at their max?
Ditto. I changed my vote from "Still undecided probably no" to Yes .I renewed, money isn't an issue, but I'll give them one more year to improve the product on the ice, if not then I am out.
Thanks, I appreciate it. Seems like a weird feature to even have for a poll. I guess the idea behind it is to let people not be swayed by existing results? I donno.I changed it FWIW. I thought it wouldn't be a big deal.
The thing is like 15-20% of Season Ticket Holders buy them to flip them or are resellers. If the Oilers do not make the playoffs they lose money. They only made money last year due to playoffs and new arena hype. There will be a ton of people not renewing, even more so if there is no huge changes.
Nah, as another poster mentioned its the same all the time. People were talking about not renewing way back in the 90's or before the cap, or after the cap, and the various times the team was bad. They renewed then. The last thing most people now are going to do is change that pattern and not renew in the era of McDavid. You hear a lot of people make that exact comment. "I was a STH through all the bad years, how could I cancel now when McD is here"
McD is a licence for this org to do nothing. Because people will pay regardless if the team is any good.
But there is 1 factor that is different from the 90s. Tickets were much more affordable then. STH could recover more cost by selling tickets or lose less money on games back when the team was at Rexall. For the cost of tickets now, you can afford many other types of entertainment.
If you dont want your season tix--there is a long line behind of sheep who will willing give up their money for them
Yeah, that's a ridiculous bit of formatting. I have to be dishonest and vote in order to see the poll results? That's the way the board was setup and needs to be changed. Anybody should be able to view the poll results.
I can see the poll results without voting. Interesting...
Says who?
It's great to insult people and all. But a couple posts up a STH just said the Oilers wouldn't reveal the length of the waiting list. How long is it?
According to a post shortly after the new toy opened guys on the wait list said it was a couple thousand deep
This has always been the case though. I've saved countless thousands of dollars towards retirement by limiting or ending my digging deep for any Ticketmaster variety tickets whether that be sports or entertainment.
I've found cheaper things to do that entertain just as much and also more physical activities.
As with many things in life certain pursuits just get habitual for people. Like smoking, they would rather fight than quit. In sports theres this strong notion that if you don't watch, or buy tickets you might miss something. You could have missed the last 2 decades of Oilers hockey and not missed much. Which would also equate to saving 100K.
