Sharks variable ticket pricing

[kdb209]

For those interested in how much the Sharks are charging for Single Game Tickets - a quick response in a BoH thread on STH perks turned into me doing a Sharks/TicketMaster price check on all remaining games.

Don't know if others would classify this as a "perk", but I would be interested in how much you save on a per game basis by owning STs over buying them at a walk up price for each team.

In Winnipeg... I pay $56.50 per game per seat. The walk up price is either $70.50, $79.00, or $87.50 depending upon who they play. So by being a STH I save quite a bit which is a perk to me. I also have the opportunity to sell tickets via a team approved site I'm not using for face ( walk up ) value which gets credited to my account. So I can actually make a little money selling games I can't use.

This is now a bit dated - it's from the '11-'12 season:

This was the last time the Sharks published "official" Single Game Prices. They started a variable pricing scheme that season - with different single game prices based on opponent, day of the week, and other circumstances (opening night, etc) - the prices in that chart (removed from the Sharks site before the pre-season) are the baseline cheapest prices for single game tickets.

The only way to get "Single Game" pricing now is by going to the Sharks TicketMaster site on a game-by-game basis.

Taking a quick look at the upcoming games - Thurs 3/27 (Winnipeg), Tues 4/1 (Edmonton), Thurs 4/3 (LA), Sat 4/5 (Nashville), Fri 4/11 (Colorado):

Interesting how day of the week seems to have a bigger impact than the match up.

Interesting how day of the week seems to have a bigger impact than the match up.

I tried tracking this on a game-by-game basis when they started this in '11-'12 - I only did it through mid December, but the drivers of high ticket prices seemed to be:

1. Opening Night.
2. Penguins and Wings games
3. Saturday games
