| Canucks Playoffs tickets go on sale this weekend
Just thought I'd post this up again as some people don't check the Canucks thread that often. http://www.metronews.ca/vancouver/lo...e-this-weekend Quote:
Canucks playoff tickets for the first round home games will go on sale on Saturday starting 10 a.m.
Fans can purchase tickets online at ticketmaster.ca or by phone at 1-855-523-6800.
Tickets left over will be available at the Rogers Arena box office on April 4.
A maximum of six tickets per game is allowed for each household. Prices start at $90.

^the statement is half true. HAHA.
honestly, the amount of sacrifice just to go to a playoff game is pretty bad.
Of course, if you know how the ticketing system works, then like last year, CH28 and I managed to score tickets at face value fairly easy through ticketmaster.
People overplay the "tickets go on sale date" anyways.

I never gone before to a playoff game before.
What are the typical price ranges for tickets?
Like from the worst seat possible, to a decent seat?
(Not interested in front row or anything like that)

Face value on them is like 375 per for lower bowl I think
They are just part of the seasons package, they give you ever pontential game, I ended up with game 7 and game 1 of first series Posted via RS Mobile | |

A bit off topic, what's the best way to ensure that I can get tickets to the NBA Finals? I'm taking my dad to one this year, and frankly, I've never been to this type of event before, so I don't know how to prepare myself so I will be able to get tickets in time.
In general, which are the minimum level of seats one should get to make the experience to going to a game worthwhile?

Only the icepacks/half seasons share with the other icepack/halfseason holders.

let's say you have sec 100 row 10 seat 10-11 for the whole season, don't you also get first dibs on the same seats for every playoff game?
if no, NICE! I will camp on TM this Saturday... since section 322-324 are pretty much all taken up by season ticket holders.

In general, which are the minimum level of seats one should get to make the experience to going to a game worthwhile? | I would imagine ticket exchange or ticket master.
if it's in LA, then GG. The all-star game starts at $500 per ticket for crappy corner ceiling seats. If it's in San Antoino... then I don't know.

I'm an Icepack holder and I get 1 game per round mixed with Home games 1-4. I also had a choice of whether I wanted to buy all or none. If I remember correctly this year I got Round 1 Home Game 1, Round 2 Home Game 3, Round 3 Home Game 4, Round 4 Home Game 2

if no, NICE! I will camp on TM this Saturday... since section 322-324 are pretty much all taken up by season ticket holders. | Season ticket holders have 3 options:
1. pay as we play
2. pay in full
3. pass on the playoffs.
So if I were to pick option 3, I would assume the seats would go into the ticketmaster pool for sale. I would be kicking myself if I picked the 3rd option. Funny you said section 322-324, my seats are right in there.

as has been said, full season ticket holders get a package that contains every game that could possibly happen

Funny you said section 322-324, my seats are right in there. | Why would anyone pick option 3? If you are in for the entire regular season... might as well get the playoff tickets at a discounted price. I would assume there's a price difference between 1 and 2.
Yes, sec 322-324 and sec 307-309 in the rows 1-8 are best seats for the value. | |
