If I can get a large chunk of my ST total footed by someone else, then that is a pretty big incentive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fushetti Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 El Crusho, didn't you and I have a conversation once how you were going to pay for your season tickets (that u didn't get) by selling the Toronto games? Or was it a different face painting fool? ;) hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 how much do the Leaf games sell for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Done Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Last year I had the $10 seats and those would go for $50 pretty easily on a good night. I had scalpers offer me $40, so you know they were getting more. You can go to 40 games for $400 ($600 this year), or 36 games for $200. The best part of going to Leaf games is to see full fledged turbins in the stands. Who says those guys don't know how to have fun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corp000085 Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Well guys, the reality is that there will be some sabres fans selling their seats to leafs fans. That's life, and there's nothing we can do about it (face it guys, if you had a $50 ticket, and someone was offering you $200 for it, you'd sell it, no matter the color of his shirt). Although, there will be FAR FAR less toronto fans here this year than last year. When you increase the season ticket base by about 8,000 that's what happens!

envirojeff Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 I'm coming up (from Orlando) to WNY for the Bills/GB game and I'm planning to catch the sabres/leafs the night before. A friend, who still lives in WNY, is my contact for Sabres tickets. He said that when he called to get a box for that game, they wouldn't sell him one if he wasn't going to buy multiple boxes? This has never been a problem before? And when he said that he wasn't going to do it and asked for information on buying single tickets, he was told that if he wasn't going to buy a box then the representative wasn't going to help him with tickets???? Does this sound right?? My friend also told me that Sabres tickets have gone up quite a bit. Does anyone have any information on this??

Jeff Is it possible that it may have to do with the fact single game tickets are not on sale yet and thats why the representative could not do anything unless he bought multiple boxes? The ticket cost did not go up much from last year, atleast not from what I have seen of the prices. But this is what happens when you have a team that does well, ticket prices go up, game tickets are alot harder to get unless you have money or a buisness connection. Its just the way it goes when you are successful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just the way it goes when you are successful Your thought makes sense. I'm still a little confused by what Jeff means by needing to buy multiple "boxes" but think you've hit on why his buddy couldn't buy a pair of regular seats. Just for reference, for "gold" games, window prices are up 25%. "Silver" and "bronze" window prices are up 15%. And "value" window prices are up 5%. (They changed the pricing structure for 200 Ends, and 300 Level III & IV, so that isn't the case for non-"gold" games for those sections.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I thought when you bought a box it had to be for the whole year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
