Two Pricing Tiers this year

[CosmoGirl]

Got an email for PSL Owners this morning from Danny Morrison. In it, he states that there will be two Pricing Tiers this year - one for Preseason and one for Regular Season but the overall price is the same as what was sent out in the invoices.  

While this is nice that Preseason are "technically" less expensive, I think they should have told us upfront about this and what the breakdown of the pricing is so those of us selling tickets would be able to determine how much to sell them for. For example, I based my asking price on $xxxx/10 and sold three games using that price and now I find that the face value is more. And still don't know what the actual face value is. 

What about people who purchased when they went on-sale to the public? Did they pay "old" prices or "new"?

Here's the email excerpt...

• Ticket Pricing : As a result of annual fan surveys, a new pricing structure has been adopted to better reflect the market value of preseason games compared to regular season games. While the total cost will be the same as we shared with you earlier this year, when you receive your season tickets you will notice two-tiered pricing that reflects lower prices on preseason tickets and higher prices for regular season games.

 

Edit update:  Here's what I put together based on available non-resale ticket prices

So....the total price is still the same they just adjusted it to make the preseason less expensive? LOL.

You'll have to forgive me if I don't empathize with your first world problems.

I don't sell my tickets so that's not an issue for me.  I'm still paying the same price when amortized over 10 games so discounting the preseason games and raising the cost of the regular season games is just a shell game.

They should not enable those who sell their regular season tickets

To be fair @CosmoGirl is a season ticket holder and she lives in FL. And she goes to many away games too. Her fandom isn't in question here.

Thank you, @RoaringRiot. When I lived in NC, I never sold tickets and went to every home game. 

I sell most of the games I cannot attend to my friends at or near face value. So the games I've already sold are technically below face and then you know how it goes with not getting much for preseason as it already was.

This stinks for me since I always take a friend with me to the games. Now I have to charge them more. I usually sell my preseason tickets just for what I can get out them anyway. Now that will be even lower. If they are going to drop prices on preseason tickets,  leave the regular season tickets alone. Oh, but then they would be LOSING money! Can't do that! No, no, no!

How are they enabling people to resale their tickets? The price of the season tickets was the same no matter what they put on the ticket.

[CosmoGirl]

From what I can find on Ticketmaster with limited availability of face value tickets, the lower endzones are $70 for preseason and $142 for regular season. So those people would expect that each game would be $127.60 each. That's almost half price for preseason.

They made the face value of the regular season tickets higher.  They skewed the price towards the sellable regarding season tickets in response to the survey for the exact reason of selling them.

I'm not disrespeking @CosmoGirl I was just stating that I don't sell mine so the total cost is the total cost no matter how it's divided up.

My 4 tickets between the 2 preseason games will be about $100 total cheaper. That $100 is going to be spread over 16 tickets (over 8 games). Pretty much minimal to anyone buying or selling them.

 

Alot of fuss about nothing.
