PromoTheRobot Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) Just perusing StubHub prices on Sabres games in October shows some games as low as $19. Other games as low as $15. Even a Friday night game vs. the Flyers is going for as little as $23. That's a little disappointing as it shows that folks are taking a wait-and-see attitude with the team. To them the "Tank" isn't quite over.

IKnowPhysics Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Buy low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 in all fairness most of the WNY sports focus is on the Bills right now. I imagine that once we get within a week or two of the season the demand will go up(hopefully says this season ticket holder). If the Sabres get off to a decent start(not hard to improve on the last two seasons), then the market will continue to trend upwards.

tom webster Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 I sold some pre-season club seats for $60 and have agreed to sell about 4 games worth of club and 100 level preferred for over face value so I am pretty happy with where the market is right now.

Taro T Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Last season is the only one I've ever lost money on seats. (For a looooong time I only broke even because I'd sell tix to friends never looking for a profit.) Even in the Reinhart draft year, I made decent cake on the games I couldn't attend. Be very surprised if the games I can't make don't pay for themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be very surprised if the games I can't make don't pay for themselves. I can't see how with players like Eichel, O'Reilly and Kane people are going to stay home. I just don't want to eat tickets like last season. I took a beating. Maybe once they look like they are competitive interest will increase. But for now it's a little depressing seeing weekend games go for under $25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 We haven't even had the first preseason game yet. Supply and demand; as the games get closer, demand will pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I feel like, worst case Ontario, people will be breaking even this year. I'm sure things will pick up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I'm guessing that after he posted that, just like me, you did a search for Rickyisms and watched the first video listed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that PTR's experience here seems to differ from Taro's and TW's. Maybe it's due to seat location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like under $40. WTF happened? Did Leafs fans finally give up? Edited September 15, 2015 by PromoTheRobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as much fun to drive for 2 hours, sit at the border, and watch your team lose, only to reverse the process afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, but I can't afford to plop just under five grand every year on seasons, so I have to flip enough of them to cover next year.
