Round 1 Tickets

[Josh]

Tickets go on sale Monday, April 13th, at 10:00 AM. Kephryn is a huge Habs fan and I'm obviously a huge Sens fan, so we are planning on going to Game 3. Does anyone know what we can expect ticket prices look like? Can we get tickets for ~$150 each in the 300s?

[Dean Ambrose]

I'm planning on going too.

[Josh]

Better act FAST. I just realized that I had a "Sens army pre-sale offer" and tickets for Games 3 and 4 are completely sold out. We managed to grab two tickets for Game 6 but there are only a handful left.

The pre-sale code that you have to enter in Capital Tickets is UNITEDINRED

[Dean Ambrose]

Maybe I'll try stubhub then lol

[Alfie11]

Might have an easier time getting tickets in Montreal, haha. I read the pre-sale was down to single tickets after 5 minutes.

[Alfie11]

Maybe I'll try stubhub then lol

Tomorrow at 10am is the regular sale. You could probably grab some seats.

[Dean Ambrose]

Yeah I'm looking at Montreal instead if I can't find anything good on stubhub.

If I can't go in person I'll just go to Sens House to watch some games.

"25OFF" is a StubHub code to get $25 off an order

[Dean Ambrose]

Stubhub already has tickets listed. Would it be safe to buy them now or wait until tomorrow?

I don't know how stubhub works.

[Alfie11]

If you get there and the ticket doesn't work for whatever reason, you can contact StubHub and they'll get you new tickets.

[Dean Ambrose]

On the day of the game? Cool. I just found out stubhub is a partner for the senators so that makes me feel better.

Wait, so only SOME of the seats were reserved for pre-sale? As in, instead of buying for Game 6 and potentially missing out if the series doesn't go that long, I could have waited until 10AM tomorrow and actually got tickets to Game 3/4?!

Yeah, absolutely. StubHub is safe.

Eeek.

With buying tickets, the pre-sale never includes all of the tickets. I'd imagine they threw up around a quarter of the available tickets for sale on StubHub (which means there's still ~7,500 seats left). But, to answer your question, you could have waited until tomorrow and gotten Game 3/4 tickets. If you look on the bright side, you're getting a hell of a deal on seats if it goes to six games. I remember in 2012, going into Game 4, Game 6 tickets were ~$65-70 on StubHub. After they won Game 4 ... good luck finding a seat for under $120.

So, yeah. If you see an official on sale date of Monday at 10AM, that's the best day to buy them. In your case, pre-sale works nice because you didn't care where you were sitting. But for, say, concerts, the best seats usually aren't released until the actual on-sale date. The pre-sale is usually internet-only, and a ton of people still use phone/box offices to get tickets.

Josh, if you have the money, you could get tickets to Game 3/4 tomorrow. If Game 6 happens, you have a choice. Make a nice profit off your Game 6 tickets and actually have a better deal than everyone else, or go to the game and enjoy it.
