Ticket Prices for 2012-13

[BlackHawkPaul]

Invoices are going out for next season, and it looks like yet another bump in prices.

Thanks to Eruns for posting this via Twitter.

So, for those that aren't STHs, expect most of the 300 level seats to be 50-100% higher at the window.

Guess I have to get a 3rd mortgage on the homestead.

I guess Steve and I might have to start selling our blood plasma.



If we start today...............when are these due?



Crazy.....just crazy. How is anyone going to be able to afford to go to a game anymore??????

 

[R K]

I think this is our last year. Looks Like TV and then if I want to hit a few games I'll take some from the STH's around me.

 

[Tommy 0]

I got my Invoice today if i am probably going to drop 2 seats and keep only 2 or drop them all together. And its due May 5th.

F them. 4 seats in 317 row 7 $11,220.00

c'mon guys, they are losing money!

 

[ericthered]

To borrow from Ben Franklin...in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes...oh and Backhawk ticket increases!

 

[BiscuitintheBasket]

Holy hot hell. My seats have officially doubled in price since the 07-08 season. Guess I will need to take a 2nd job or start gouging on TicketExchange.

 

[stu]

RK you are always welcome to purchse ours in the 300s....great seats! We can even suppliy an oxygen tank at our cost!



We have only charged $75.00 each for our $55.00 tickets, just so we would have money for playoff tickets....and that included our Ketel One passes. Unless the economy starts to turn around....thing are going to be tuff to make it for regular non STH to make it to games.

God.... $30-50 for the 300s? I'm starting to think I might never see a game at the UC again. Wow...

might just be me growing up in Toronto, but I still think that's a steal. When I watched Chicago vs Toronto at ACC three years ago I paid $150 each in the upper 300's



and that was three years ago.

Same here. But my wife did win Culvers kid of the game contest and we got 4 freebies for Sunday vs. Nashville!

8 year old nephew gets to ride the zamboni, tour the locker room and hit the goal horn after warm-ups. I plan to harass the 326er's too. Oh, and buy 3 beers with the $100 concession coupons. The $100 won't cover tips though.

Im also used to paying around $20-30 back in LA and Anaheim. Anaheim's rates now are almost $45 for the Upper Deck.



Dallas' cheapies this year are barely $20. Only here is it slightly higher than SoCal, but its expected in Chicago.

 

[Shantz My Pants]

That's bullshit. What's the reason this year for the price hike?



How's a family supposed to go and enjoy the game? That's what pisses me off the most. They market the game to families and kids yet nobody can afford to go to a game.



50-60 bucks to sit in the nosebleeds? Get fucked...

 

[R K]

We were talking about the guy behind us an over a little last night. Guy behind me has had those seats since the UC was built. Next to him was what appeared to be a single Dad with three kids, or the wife said **** no... Either way



even at face value 140 x 4 = 560



Parking = 26



Dinner for the 4 75



The gadgets he bought 200 at least --- they had little banners, punching gloves, hats, programs....



Thats almost 900 bucks for one night. Now if they paid the premium ticket price its about 1200. We figured 1200. Thats an expensive night out!



Bullshit they aren't making a fucking profit. Which Wirtz was/is worse? He sat on 7 mil in Cap space almost all year making up for the money not playing in Chicago.

Exactly my point. How can anyone even think about spending that in this economy and job market? (Except for the one's who are doing well right now, but that isn't too many)...

 

[R K]

Rocky can. He's going to make up for Daddy's 10 years of losses in 5 years. That's exactly what he's doing.



and as long as this team stays good it will work. The minute they suck people will flock away from this organization so fast there will be 12k a night again. Hell they lost 9 games in a row and half the so called "hawk" fans couldn't get away fast enough.



The sellouts?? Its not hard to call it a sell out when 14000 of the 21000 seats are already sold before the schedule comes out.

 

[roshinaya]

There's always someone willing to pay. They've have done their research and now that even at these prices they will sell their tickets.

 

[CLWolf81]

I won't be buying them, and I haven't since 2010. Here's why:



2011 - Games were sold out.

2012 - Games were sold out and somewhat expensive.

2013? - Games too expensive to get.



I have yet to see a Hawks game live since 2010, which due to a mix of me not working and the tickets being expensive or sold out. I've considered traveling to a game ever since. Last time I was at the UC was during Training Camp 2010-11, lol.



And guess what... I've yet to see the 2010 banner live too.... Yeah, its been that long... Ridiculous, huh?



That brings me to the point .... Sure, families will get blown out of the water for going to a game... but what about the people out there who just want to go to see a game live? College kids, regular guys with no families? People who want to go but can't afford it? True fans are being shut out and this is proof.



And people wonder why I got cable and Center Ice this year? Precisely why.

The first year I got my Hull 9-game pack (which was the first time partials were offered) was around 5 years back as I recall and the seats were $15 a game...next year $48. 8 Hours of driving to / from Chicago on $4/gallon gas. Ouch.
