Can get a 2nd-row upper deck 40 yd line seat for Sunday for $20. Just paid $110 with fees for a 1st row upper bowl for Friday's Sabre game. Man, how times have changed Most games prices are still below STH cost. As good as the Sabres are playing, prices on the secondary market are lagging. Fans are not fully on board yet.

Is there a significant discount for season ticket prices compared to individual tickets? I agree with you that there is still a residual distaste from all the bad and boring seasons. In time the interest will catch up with the good play and more entertaining play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I do expect interest to ramp up. Especially if they are playing at this level after the Bills are done. I can't find the pricing chart on the Sabres website but there is a huge difference in prices between STH and box office. Compounded by the variable pricing scheme the Sabres use. Some games the difference is as much as $50. Edited November 19, 2018 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the variable pricing factored in for season ticket pricing or is it a set seating price multiplied by the number of games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine it goes way beyond Kessel. I feel like the entire Pittsburgh organization has had our number over the last decade. It even goes as far as Crosby getting that gold medal winning goal on Miller. Kessel's numbers cross over to other teams, which may be why it doesn't stick out as clearly to me as Crosby/Malkin.

STH prices are the same each game. My seats, for example, are $30. But to buy the same seats at the box office, the variable price ranges from $20 (San Jose) to $115 (Toronto.)

As far as strictly playing for the Pens? Malkin, Hornqvist, and LeTang are the most notorious Sabre killers in the lineup tonight. Another backup goalie tonight. Housley should dust off that “no respect” speech again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son and I will probably be at both! We need to have a few pops before the game or get tickets together. Maybe that old curmudgeon @eball would like to join us..but he is not a social sort!!!!? Seeing them in DC on the 15th as well Yes, Friday 1/11 and Saturday 3/16. I definitely plan to go to both. And yes, I'm social -- just discerning in my pre-game festivities! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they made that chart so they can lower prices on weekday games against opponents that don't draw. The promise is STH prices are always lowest.

You deserve to have a good team the way you support your Sabres. If the Devils can’t win the Cup, I’ll root for you guys to do it. I’ll bet you guys are having fun with this team so far. they tend not to be very receptive to anyone giving praise to the Sabres past attempts to give encouragement have resulted basically in being told to Go and Eff Myself... strange.... very very strange...
