I had to email several times about my road game dinner party. Was a bit stressful! Wasn't invited until very late in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Well, i was supporting them for ell over 20+ years and finally gave up 3 years ago when I couldn't even give tickets away - and have saved thousands upon thousands of $ and just buy what I need on CL or TM. I get all the tickets I need at either cost or a bit above by waiting until the last minute to buy and it has never failed me. Aside from that, I get much better seating than my 20+ years of seniority would have ever allowed me to acquire during the seat selection each year. I even got tickets to both rounds last year in UB2 for $190 and $230/ea for a pair. I'm kicking myself for waiting so long to bail out as I would have another new car parked in the driveway by now and saved hundreds of hours of time fiddling around selling tickets. Live & learn! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so glad I didn't bail before last season since I made a profit finally last year (well, I made a very small profit the year before, but last year was a good profit). I am hoping to make at least a bit of profit this season and this will likely be my last year. The Canucks might not let me renew again anyway since they are cracking down on members who resell their tickets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously haven't been a STH for the past 10 years because I have many STH friends (aside from myself) that lost a small fortune on unsold and below cost tickets. It was so bad in the final years of the "Jim Benning Era of Darkness & Despair" I couldn't even give tickets away. Glad to see your keeping your head above water and hope it continues for you.

They refused and stated my account COULD be flagged since all the tickets are listed for sale. They expect us to go to some games but never provided a number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just referring to the last two years when I made either a slight or good profit. I have been a STH for over 20 years and I did lose a lot of money during the Benning years. That's why I am trying to make some of it back now while I can, before I quit. Or the Canucks quit me, which is what I am expecting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make more money selling tickets directly on TM than selling to STM, so now that they think they can sell all their tickets, they don't need us anymore. Pretty shortsighted. Bad times will come again, and with how things are looking right now, bad times could even be this season! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I'm not calling to ask any questions. My account could be flagged too. I list most of my games and go to the ones that don't sell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted to get 10 seats in a row. In the past, I would call and ask. No issue whatsoever. As someone mentioned, they think they can get more by listing directly to ticketmaster than having season ticket holders. The thing with hockey, or any sport, you're bound to have a few bad years as the core ages and the need to rebuild. Good luck to the canucks organization selling tickets during those years, especially as salary cap goes up as do ticket prices. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkWithElias Posted September 3 Author Share Posted September 3 It’s stupid how the Canucks are treating STH cause I’m curious now how many games I have to attend in my package or how many I’m allowed selling through the Canucks portal , but they won’t give a proper answer on how many 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess they're gonna lose a lot of full packages as it's cheaper and easier to do a quarter/half at this rate, since selling some seems to be forbidden.
