VGK Ticket Thread (Read OP for rules)

[Pirate Deadpool]

I want my damn tickets! We already got the calendar marked for which games we can go to and which ones we can't and will sell those. On a funny or not so funny note, 2 women in my girlfriend's office had season tix. One of them died in the off season and luckily the one that didn't die has the rights to the tickets, but there's tons of people at her job asking to buy the other seat. They have really good seats too. The tickets are in section 6 and halfway up.

 

[Boris Zubov]

There will be lots of blocks of seats available once the STH tickets are released There were many obvious brokers trying to sell up to 12 seats together at a time last year on Stubhub.

There's already large blocks of tickets from brokers on StubHub. They have access to list their seats whenever they want. Plus the biggest broker of all is the team itself. I have no doubt they list some of their inventory on SH. Was pretty obvious during the playoffs.

We’ve been slow played two years in a row. Ridiculous considering we paid for these things a month ago and the first game is in five days.

I just got my email.

They're supposed to show up within 24 hours.

Then the frenzy begins of seeing who can sell the first game and who gets stuck with them. First game is a sham, 80% of the guys on the ice have zero chance of a roster spot. Remember last year it was the game Wong looked like a real prospect

Pre-season tix within 24 hours. Regular season tix sometime next week. Dragging it out til the bitter end.

This is exactly why I unloaded all the preseason games already to friends & coworkers. Prices for that first game are gonna drop to $20.

 

[LadyStanley]

Teams have to dress at least EIGHT NHL experienced players or first round draft picks in preseason games. So, not necessarily the 80% you were concerned with.

Tix dropped into my flash seats account.

Same here. Preseason games only.

Still nothing but I got the email that within 24 hours they will be

On a whim I tried to list a game on StubHub before I transferred it to my buddy. It appears that my FlashSeats account is no longer linked to my SH account. Furthermore, my seats in my FlashSeats account are enabled to "Sell". If the team is using FlashSeats as the primary resale platform, it's going to be a nightmare.

So glad I've sold all these preseason games, I have a feeling people are going to be stuck with them.

They might have terminated their relationship with StubHub after they refused to give the Golden Knights their playoff sales revenue because of the Knights Vow.

Yeah, I've been following the story. Conspicuously absent from tonight's email was any mention of StubHub or a resale partner for the season. This is going to prove interesting going forward.

Did you relocate? I seem to recall you being in Section 1 last year?

 

[artificialintuition]

Yeah. Anyone buying those tickets was probably getting in because they seemed cheaper than the (crazy high) prices people were selling reg season games for earlier this summer. Yes, people were agreeing to sell seats and taking money as a deposit even though tickets had not been deposited into accounts -- it was all a promise but desperate folks take that risk.

People buying now feed into the frenzy; patient buyers will (I think) likely getting pre-season tickets for very little and "reasonable" prices for most regular season games.

Thank god for sellers that there are MANY desperate buyers who want to lock things down 3 months before they come to town to see a game. The ones hurt the most will be the ones who keep super high prices until the last minute.

And +1,000,000 to the team acting in a predatory way by waiting to release tickets until the last minute so they can sell for their own benefit on the secondary market.

 

[Esteban Tornado]

Nope, 1st year. I was dumb and didnt get tix last year.

You're lucky you were able to get in at all for this year. The waiting list is pretty long now.

Its a pretty good story. By the time I had to choose my seats, only like 212 or 213 were left, so I got those. So as i was waiting in line, someone was talking to an employee about something and didnt want the seats she had. So I said if she didnt want them I would take them. And they they turned out to be the ones in 19. So I got lucky.

Looks like you can sell on Stubhub or Flashseats this year. I listed a pair on each just to try both out.

I wonder if Flashseats takes a cut of sales like StubHub’s 10%, (on both ends).

Stubhub actually adds 15% onto the buyer side, plus transaction fee.

The buying fee percentage on StubHub is progressive. It goes up to almost 30% on high priced events.
