Season Tickets - What would you pay.

[GoDogsGo]

Since there is more and more new arena talk...and there is a $100 000 cheque as a deposit for the planning...thank you Mr. Bob Gale... here is a question... What would you pay for season tickets at the new arena? We all know that prices will go up to support the new "project"... would this indicate the type of fan base we have....here is some info from other OHL centers about their season tickets:

More to come... takes a while to post all this stuff...

Our prices are pretty well on par with other teams around the league. If they get any closer to the 6 mark then I think I might back out of seasons. New arena or not.

[Casey]

Yea, I think 499.00 is pretty good as is. Especially if that seems to be the standard around the league. I do like the looks of the 450.00 prices though =P

[TheQuietOne]

I'd prefer to be a fan of one of the American teams....$328.61 in Erie, $351.90 in Saginaw, and an astounding $269 in Plymouth.

[TheQuietOne]

I have all the numbers from all the teams on my computer for other purposes....but when it comes down to cost per seat per game....Niagara is actually well above average.

At $15.41 per game for a side seat, we have the 6th highest season's ticket price in the league (and this already excludes teams that have "club seats" or a similar section with increased leg room, padded seats, or in-seat service). The only fans that pay more than us for a side seat are Barrie ($16.19), Belleville ($15.50), Guelph ($16.19), Kingston ($18.00) and Kitchener ($15.65)

At $14.67 per game for an end seat, we actually jump to the third highest price in the league. Only Kitchener ($15.65) and Barrie ($15.14) pay more than we do.

[cope]

good info, personally I compare the tickets to Hamilton Bulldogs which is the only competive hockey club close to us (30 minutes).

Adult ticket regardless of seat is 25.95 and season tickets (non club) are 640.

I'd pay 640 to get seasons if I lived in Hamilton. Mind you, hockey is my number one source of entertainment. Got hooked living in Owen Sound last winter lol

[joe]

I like the idea of the early bird prices......great insentive. I guess that's because I got mine early this year, already renewed for next year and plan to renew for years to come.

[RioBravo]

Being a high school student it's insanely hard to get the money together for this. Not only getting the money together, getting the days off work. Im going to do all I can next year to renew my seats.

[Phil Margonis]

i'm just going to pay whatever i have to to get the seasons. the cheapr the better obviously

:iagree:, the cheaper the better, or a break for kids would be nice, Since I buy 4 for the family.

[Casey]

Yea, kids should be cheaper for sure. Especially for the cutest IceDog fans, Cope you're one lucky man!

[GoDogsGo]

i have said that since day one.... have a price for students and kids.... maybe next year...
