Taro T Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Well, Gents (and Monkeygirl), you may want to start saving your pennies if it looks like the Sabres are going to keep this magical journey rolling. Ticket prices for the Semis and Finals were announced. The Sabres WILL make a profit this season if they continue the Chase for Lord Stanley's Chalice. Window prices------------ Round 3 ----------- Round 4 100 Preferred -------------- $200 -------------- $250 100 Level II ---------------- $175 -------------- $225 100 Level Shoot Once ----- $150 -------------- $200 200 Level ------------------- $200 ------------- $250 300 Level I,II,III ----------- $100 ------------- $150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 The Sabres are already well into the black, I think. Also, it's interesting that you (and I) assume MonkeyGirl is the only lady here. I bet there are others! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet there are others! I know there are others that at least lurk on this board. (Lori from TSW has admitted to such on occasion, I'm certain there are others.) But MonkeyGirl is the only lady that posts here on a regular basis, and as such, warrants special consideration. Heck, PA. We don't want you to scare ALL of them away! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topshelfcookies Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Dear lord...looks like I should have tried to get Round Two tickets. Either that, or go stop by Mighty Taco...they're always hiring...and go work 3rd shift for a couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just say that the average ticket price works out to be $150 per seat for the semis and $200 per seat for the finals.... 18,690 x 150 = $2,803,500 in ticket revenue per game for the semis 18,690 x 200 = $3,738,000 in ticket revenue per game for the finals If the Sabres make it to the semis, Golisano will be making more than a "small" profit this year.

If it happens, I hope we can pay Jay McKee next year. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ratios of STH price to window price are comparable / slightly better than rounds 1 & 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gotten used to those prices living out here in NYC/NJ area. The cheapest world series tickets the last time the yankees made the Series were $50 for bleachers in the outfield....where there is not even beer sales! Oh, and they also jack up parking prices during the playoffs! the saddest part, and i even see this at the yankee games, is that it prices out the hard-core fans. the kind that get up and cheer, etc, whereas many corporations end up buying these more expensive tickets and send boring-ass clients, etc...

Either that, or go stop by Mighty Taco...they're always hiring...and go work 3rd shift for a couple weeks. You have to take a really long exam to get a job at Mighty Taco, not as easy as it seems like it should be. You have to memorize how many ounces of everything goes in all the menu items.

LabattBlue Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 The ratios of STH price to window price are comparable / slightly better than rounds 1 & 2. I did not factor in STH prices, but even at a 50% discount for 1/2 the seats in the arena, the profit margin will still be very tidy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fushetti Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 I took advantage of that 30% down offer for next season for the chance to buy tix to the playoffs this year. For 6 guys (three seats) I have to pay 126 for rounds 3-4. Double that for the one seat and its 252 for 7 possible games. Season ticket holders definitely have the advantage. I almost #%^$#! my pants with glee when I heard i only had to shell out an additional 126 bucks. haha. BTW, my seats are in 100 level II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 I thought they were only going up 25% for the first round and then 50% for the second (don't remember where I heard that) Guess I better get started working on the paper work for my loan :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
