I've sold 5 games through ticketmaster and have not received any email. Also, I've listed all my games. Plan on going to games that I can't sell. Would be nice to have some clarity. Maybe the reps should let us know how many games we can list. No way they can expect the average person to attend all the games.

I agree that the should provide some clarity as season ticket members do want to know. 5 games is absolutely nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Scott Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Quick question: has anyone actually reached out to their reps? Honestly, if I do lose my tickets next year, I wouldn't be happy about this. After years of supporting the team during their down years, this would be a slap to my face. Then when the team goes through another re-build/re-tool, they better not email/call me to buy tickets again. On the other hand, I could save the $8000+ I spend on the tickets. Use that money to travel, which would be a very nice vacation every year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know one member asked about the new seats and was told they don't know when it's happening. Yeah, I don't blame you at all. One of our perks as a stm is being able to sell on TM.

Wonder if the canucks organization faced backlash for the expensive re-sale prices during the playoffs and this is how they decided to combat the issue. I would prefer that they don't offer pre-sale for games to season tickets holders. I'm confident that 90% buy pre-sale tickets to re-sell. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use that money to travel, which would be a very nice vacation every year. I could have written this email, word for word. I stuck with the team during those horrible years when no one else was buying tickets. I couldn't give my extra games away. Literally. And yeah, maybe I shouldn't worry about getting cut off.... the prices have gotten so high that I am better off just buying a handful of games per year from a secondary site. This is really leaving a sour taste in my mouth, and lowers my desire to support the team at all. Oh, and no, I haven't reached out to my rep (not sure I even have one currently). I don't want to draw attention to my account since I have listed tickets on TM. Edited August 19 by SerenityNow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All on ticketmaster. I feel your pain. I wasn't able to get rid of my tickets for a few years. No one would take them for free either. Their reasoning would be: why watch them lose plus cost of food. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even friends told me they were offered free tickets and passed due to the price of parking, food and beer only to see them lose on home ice during those rebuild years. Even when the Bruce Era happened, lots of free tickets were available on FB marketplace!

I sold around the same number of games too, all on Ticketmaster. No warnings. I got full seasons. I actually did ask my rep about re-selling. I told him I might be out of town often this year and will need to sell games on Ticketmaster. I asked if there was a limit or anything. He didn't give me a specific number but did say there won't be any issues with reselling on there. Regarding that person on reddit who got a warning from selling just 5 games--maybe there is something else going on with their account that we are not aware of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I sell, then lower haha. My rule is try to match ticketmaster prices, even if I don't make a lot. Those verified seller fees are brutal. Is it just me, or are the fees lower than last year? Only time I really paid attention to the fees was during playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually look at the "compare" feature on TicketExchange, and/or go with the "Recommended" price. Maybe I should try your method. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With popular events, like the Meet the Team event, the number attending should be restricted. Except a lot of people like to bring their kids so they may be disappointed.
