No because that’s the price that was listed $26.25.

I always just divide it by the regular season.

3 preseason games and a free Rochester game are meaningless.
- dadeadhead

This is used to "dupe" new buyers for me? Last year a work friend took his daughter to a pre season game then bought 2 regular season

My brother is canceling
he is first row in 200s and they went up just north of 20 a game per ticket

If you sit in between the blue lines you are being royaly F'd

Nice. That's not bad at all.
- BINGO!

Seeing that they were originally $400 a seat in 05/06.

No, I posted that it is an issue with Krueger, he said Skinner doesn't practice hard and he's lazy at times.

Thank you for the information as always 89, I appreciate it.👍

Jesus.... cheapest seats for Canes games are the over the "shoot once" side in the 300 level. Start at $18.

It's pathetic, agreed.

Jeff Skinner is one of the hardest working players in the game.
- RhinoFan

I don't care if he is or is not, ppl biotching about practice habits of a player is crazy... Nobody said poop last year when he was scoring 40 goals for this team, now he is having a down year and the sky is falling....

he averages 25 a year, 40 was an explosion for him. On a good line with a capable center and #1 PP time I would expect 30-40 from him.

GOtcha, spoke to a girl at work who family has the other end..... they pay a ton more cause its shoot twice. GTFO
- hubie

Soooooo,
Pay more to see less action and poopy results!
What a value proposition.

I truly wonder how much turnover this and the season are going to cause.

Don’t regret letting my tickets go last year. So much money I have saved
- Fattony1187

I wondered, I know we had a few conversations last year.

I still feel like this team is moving in the right direction and have superstar players. Fun players to watch.

I'm a sucker, I'm going to be at the kbc when there are finally playoff games though.


I've alway looked at the season ticket rights as a stock.
I started when there was a waiting list.
Tickets are going to be pieces of gold - at some point.

Better than the real stock market.


Btw - where are all the stock market braggers this afternoon ?

Mine went from 29.75 to 26.25
- dadeadhead

just found out my friends seats went up 20%

he's not happy

End Defend back

That's cool, 312 - 313 -314 lower rows went to 32.80.

6.55 difference. Both were $30 last few years.

Wonder how the resale market will adjust?

He's clearly frustrated with the state of things with the coach.

Again, the GM needs to step in and communicate with the player and coach to resolve things and come to an understanding.
- kingcong39

Or Skinner could pick his sh!t up and go 100% in practice like the coach wants, then maybe he gets a better look on game days.
If Im dogging it at work and my boss tells me to pick it up, if I don't im gone, its not like my bosses boss comes down to fix things.
If the coach doesn't like his habits at practice Jeff needs to change or he wont be getting anything from Kruger which seems very fair.

Agreed, he'll be fine. Those who expect similar production as last year when he's playing less minutes, alongside Curtis Lazar, Johan Larsson and Slowbotka...are insane.

Could skinner be more comfortable with his contract locked in for 7 more years?

Did phail lousley care enough about practice

Why criticize a guy who's plotting 40 goals?
Easier when you have the same # of goals as girgensons
Who probably works extremely hard at practice

Agreed, he'll be fine. Those who expect similar production as last year when he's playing less minutes, alongside Curtis Lazar, Johan Larsson and Slowbotka...are insane.
- RhinoFan

He hasn't played along side any of those players in a damn long time.

He needs to produce on his own. He hasn't done that.

Im not looking for 40 goals and 60+ points for him.

But is it to much to ask for 30 and 15. This is apparently a yes.

Im looking for him to make a damn difference in games. Im asking him to produce more than Zemgus Franking Girgensons.

45 points for a 9 million dollar winger is not a lot to ask.


here is where I am told he is almost scoring though because his expected goals for are high.

Cool when Expected goals starts to win you games, ill be all for it, but until then, start scoring actual goals.

Hus $9m contract comes with expectations that are related to more than just game time...and he is failing miserably during the game as well.
I have defended Jeff's lower production in here quite often, however being a bumhole with the coach during practice is just wrong for a core player is expected to provide leadership.

As far as female doging goes
Last year he made $6m and potted 40
This year he has potted 12

If it us true he is a bumhole in practice, he deserves the criticism and he is bringing it on himself.

Accountability.

- navinrjohnson

I really think this is a ploy to get people to move to cheaper seats and get new money in the more expensive seats/people that have been waiting for those seats.

I think the shoot twice side will have 0 sth and the shoot once will have them
- hubie

Shoot once are much easier to sell (to the road teams)

If we had hasek or a great goalie it would be more fun.

Shoot once gets ot shooting also.

If your the Sabres and you know this is a huge make or break season, maybe you try and sell tickets for marked up prices to the general public.

If were good or really good, every seat will be filled.
The 10 game win streak last year and good start this year are proof. People love a winner

- Boss34

The corners of 322-325 and 301-304 top couple of rows dropped to $24.

Again I think it’s a ploy to see if they can get longtime season ticket holders to move to a different section to stay in a price range and get new money in there.

My son just made money on a new Bio/Pharm company that apparently has a pipeline if new vaccines going through testing and apparently doing well. Bough in when they were like $0.90 per...it is up to $1.60 so far today ... expected to get to $9.00 per. We shall see, could end up being just temporary paper gains.

It's pathetic, agreed.

- RhinoFan

Then why is the coach displeased with his work habits?
I don't think its pathetic for fans or coaches to be a bit upset when they see/hear a player being paid 9mill is being lazy and not committed in practice.
Is it the worst thing in the world? Hell no. But it is surprising how many on hear think its ok to loaf around at practice.
If Jeff had 30 some goals I couldn't care less what he does in practice, because he is still performing when it matters but when the guys has less than 15 goals and is also dogging it at practice, its a real bad look.

I really think this is a ploy to get people to move to cheaper seats and get new money in the more expensive seats/people that have been waiting for those seats.
- dadeadhead

That's a good theory. I kinda thought the Sabres wanted to group season ticket holders together. Save blocks of seats in the corners ect for road fans? Gouge them?

If were good, people will pay anything for season tickets.

Is there really a list anymore?

I HATE THIS ARGUMENT... money should have ZERO to do with it. First off the GM offers the contract and the player signs. The GM always has the final say on what the team is willing to pay. Blame the GM..

Now I absolutely agree that Skinner is having a down year. However, he played the last year with Jack and played #1 Power play minutes. I would imagine as most sensible fans here, that if giving the same opportunities this year Skinner would be closer to 20-25 goals right now and his practice habits would not even be an after thought
