So they're offering me press level seats, but at a cost of $92.75/seat/game. These are $25 seats in the regular season in a game pack. I was expecting to pay more than the regular season, but that's near double what I pay for greens, and nearly quadruple what the game pack price is for press level seats in the regular season.
I get it - there is increased demand for playoffs and I would expect a ticket increase. But 400%?
Sorry Flames, I love you and all, but eff that. Nearly $100 for a nosebleed seat?
Unless I'm missing something here. The offer clearly states that it is for rounds 1 and 2, and there is a split for game pack holders, so you only get 2 of the 4 possible home games per round. And my invoice is for $742 for 2 seats. For 4 games. In the nosebleeds.

I would much rather your offer than mine... I have a green level ticket pack but have been a holder long enough they're offering me a similar seat averaging $133/ticket/game. I'm not really sure why they think someone who can afford $50/ticket/game can all of a sudden afford more than double that, but there it is. Part of the reason I was a game pack holder was so that I could get playoff tickets but they have priced me out so perhaps I should cancel my game pack.

So Round 1 tix are 20% over the cost of a premium regular season game, 40% for Round 2. Reasonable differential, IMHO.

I wouldn't mind 20% over premium... I cannot pay 150% of what I had been paying though. That's ridiculous of them to even ask.
