Simple question: Season ticket holders... To renew or not to renew

IMO as a top priority they need to re design the jumbotron and more than double the size of the video screens. ..as a starting point.

This is not happening...new arena if you want that

VIdeo screens are mobile to a new arena.

It seems like it's 5.6% across the board this year. I checked a few years back and this was the increases in each year for lower bowl Red:
18-19 5.6%
17-18 4.9%
16-17 0.0%
15-16 3.0%
so 11% from two years ago. I know costs have gone up but they've gone up for everyone, and I know I'm not in a position to raise my prices. For the first time since I got my tickets a couple of decades ago, I'm debating. Although I'm concerned that if the seasons ticket base craters, that might be an impetus to move, and I remember the Young Guns years.

Oddly enough, I downgraded to a ticket pack last year from full seasons, and I also got the renewal notice yesterday.

The ticket pack only went up 5% from last year (keeping in mind that the discount from face value on seasons is much better than on ticket packs, so seasons are still a better deal).

Still on the fence. I might wait until I get the printed package to see if I still get free food...

Total cost is up like 40 bucks from last year, so meh.

It should be like 25 ish a game. You also have to buy all the preseason games too, so there's some added cost.

Is that just incorrect? For two tickets that should work out to only $1799.10?

As a curious non season ticket holder, I’m just wondering how much your family has spent on seasons tickets since day 1? I would imagine it must be well over $100,000 depending on your seats and how much you spend on food/drinks, merchandise, etc. I’m just generally curious how much some people (the die hards from day 1) have invested into this team.

not renewing mine this year, didnt see a message about the food and drink either

I am PL 13 as well row 13, and mine actually went down. Not sure how or why, but I am hoping to relocate to second level this season anyways

17-18 = $2493.56
18-19 = $2448.92

[Ben_in_Canada]

PL8, row 5.
Renewal has gone down $5.22/0.12%.
Waiting for clarity on food vouchers.

i'm surprised by how much some of you will pay for PL seats. IMHO that is a lot of dough for seats where you need a TV monitor to follow the play. Personally if i was willing to pay that much for seats, i'd pay the extra $$ and get seats in the second tier.

I think that might be easier said than done.

I have greens in 207 and oranges in 222. Last year at relocation my goal was simple to move my 207 greens to any greens on the other side. Or to move my 207 greens to any orange pair, either side.

Nothing became available at all during the online relocation. Lots of corner whites. But yeah greens are worth the extra price over PL.

Depends on where you are in the PL. I’m row 1 and I would not change them for the orange or greens. Nothing to do with cost, I’m center ice and It’s a way better view of the game than in the corners.

[Fleury2005]

Has anyone found out if the PL seats row 4+ get the food vouchers this year?

I was going to say the same thing. First 3 rows of PL between the face off dots are some of the best value in terms of sight line and cost. I am pretty much at center ice in the first row so I have no intention of looking for other seats. Took me about 5 relocation's over the years to moving around the first row of the PL's to get to the seats I have now.

I do remember when I previously looked the seats at the top of the second level were almost double of what I was paying.

Just got my mail - the PL seats in rows 4 and above do in fact include the food vouchers.

I went from sec 204 row 20 to the pl because I took 2 different 9% pay cuts in the same year. The pl seats were basically half of my 2nd bowl seats

I simply prefer seats between the blue lines, no matter how high I am. I've had green game packs before and didn't like how distant the far end of the ice felt. If I lived closer and went to more games I'd look at moving down to the white, but those are tough to recoup the cost back on if you sell.

The free food vouchers are a nice perk for the higher PL seats too.

You guys with row 1 blacks better must be dreading a new stadium. You'll never have anything close to the value of those in a new arena. They are criminally underpriced vs every other seat in the 'dome.
