1/16/2024 0 Comments Sell predators tickets![]() ![]() I wonder what your Chamber of Commerce and tourism bureau thinks of all this. If I had a family member on the opposing team that I wanted to see play would I still be banned from buying ticket because I don't live in Nashville? This will probably be my one and only trip to Nashville and if we would have known about this policy before we booked flights we probably would have went somewhere else. I assume if the Predators had it there way the opposing team wouldn't have a single fan in the building. During the baseball season the Yankees and the Mets play each other and fans come out in full force for both teams to show their support and those games are usually more memorable in part because of the big rivalry between fans and it makes attending the game so much more fun and entertaining. And there are times that you must do that to attend but a regular season hockey game with tickets still available at the box office is not one of those times. Would you be willing to spend $2000 or more for 12 tickets for a game in NY without a 100% guarantee they are legit? And why should I have to purchase on Facebook or with scalpers at escalated prices when there are still plenty of seats available to the public at face value on ticketmaster? I go to a lot of events and have used 3rd party websites with 100% guarantee the tickets are valid and paid above face value. I appreciate your response but listen to yourself your promoting a website an admitting its not 100% safe. They've built a winner on and off the ice and the restrictions are the only way for that to sustain this, to the joy of their fan base and to the chagrin of others. Nashville may not always be the "It" city and if the Preds keep allowing half their tickets to be sold to out of towners, when it isn't the "It" city, that stadium will be empty because the fan base will be turned off and lack of funds will not allow for a superior product on the ice. No fans = no money = no lucrative salaries to elite talent. That is extremely difficult to do when Nashville is such a popular travel destination and with half your tickets being scooped up by scalpers around the country for resale to opponents.Īs a lifelong Blackhawks fan who used to pay 10 bucks to see garbage like Kyle Calder, Mark Bell and Tyler Arnason and do their best to stay upright while playing to a half empty stadium for nearly 20 years, I get it. Yes in theory the team should tourism to the city with other fan bases but the ownership has spent the last 6-7 years trying to build and solidify their own long term fan base. 3) You cant re-sell your tickets, even on the Ticketmaster re-selling. The rules (new back then) infuriated me and my many family and friends who used to come visit, but in hindsight I understand them completely. Its the closest NHL city, and the Predators have turned into a perennial playoff. Even after the stipulations were put into place, it was still about 60/40 until I moved in 2013. That stadium would be 2/3 Blackhawks fans for nearly every single game I went to, same for other well traveled teams like the Leafs, Bruins, etc. ![]() In all fairness to the Preds ownership, I lived in Nashville at the height of their mediocrity (late 2000's, early 2010's) and the rise of my Blackhawks short-lived dynasty. ![]()
