Ok this is a 2 sided question.
A) For those of you that have tickets to the first home game:
How much would it take for you to sell your ticket?
B) For those of you that don't have a ticket for the first game:
How much would you spend?
We could actually put a 3rd part to this...
C) For those of you that do have tickets to the first game, pretend that you don't:
How much would you pay if you didn't have a ticket to the first game?
Of course, we are ignoring all scalping laws on this one.

Had this discussion with a co worker. I would start entertaining the idea of selling if offers were in the 3K or above range.
Now if I did not have tickets I doubt I would spend a whole lot to get them. I would just upgrade my set at home and enjoy the day with my own little celebration.

There is not a price I could put o my home openers. If I didn't have tickets I would pay whatever it takes to get them!

My home opener ticket came free of charge, along with dinner and drinks. Just could not image giving it up, but then again Money talks BullCrap walks, so you never know!

I am taking my 7 year old son to the game and expect this to be a life long memory for him, so no amount of money is enough. I am just soooo happy that we are able to share NHL experiences with our kids again, and shelve those stupid Moose antlers.

and shelve those stupid Moose antlers. I wouldn't sell my home opener tickets for ANY price. I would probably pay up to $500 for a pair of upper bowl seats. That's much more than they're worth, and I think it's fair. Anyone dishing out $3K on a ticket needs to invest their money a little better.

I've got P6 level seats and it would take a lot to give up the home opener. It would probably need to be in the $2K or more range. Hypothetically off course since scalping is illegal I could see myself paying around 500 for opening night but like others have said, you can have an awesome party by getting your buddies together in someones man cave, renting a projector and 70" screen, and off course alcoholic beverages to last all night long.

If you can dish out $3K for an evening on the town you probably have a lot more where that came from. If you cash in your RRSP's to get in the door on opening night then yes, you need a crash course in money management.

I wouldn't sell the home opener. Will be much too emotional of a moment.
That said, $10K can buy a lot of emotion!
I have been offered some pretty ridiculous things for the opening game. Stuff you'd only see on the internet.....!

A. Everything has a price. I wouldn't shop the tickets but if someone offered me the right amount at the right time, I would probably take it.
B. N/A
C. I wouldn't, I'd just watch the game on TV.
I don't under stand all the hype on the home opener. It's not like its game 7 of the cup final. That would be a game that would take for me to sell those tickets.
I've got a question on this subject. A buddy of mine brought up a good point.
1. If someone offers you, say $1000 for a ticket and you take it, is that scalping?

To me the home opener (not the first exhibition game with split squad against Columbus) is a historic game.
This game will have huge media coverage. I have to be there, and of course PVR the game and all pre and post game coverage.
I would not sell my tickets unless I was offered at least 5 figures!

No amount of money would make me sell my tickets. The only way would be if got $10 grand for them and I was able to by other pair for less then that and make some money! But that would not happen

I believe that if you accept more than face value it would be considered scalping. But if you sell a hockey card (or something else) for a thousand bucks and throw in a couple of tickets for free it's a different story.

Everyone who is saying there's no price they'd sell them for is, perhaps, misspeaking. If someone offered you a million dollars for your ticket, of course you'd take it. If someone offered you face value, you'd laugh in their face. The exercise it to find that sweet spot in between those two extremes.
I looked at the question from a pragmatic angle. What would I have to get in return that would be equivalent to those tickets? My price is the dream car. A late model Ferrari convertible. The models I like start around $80,000, lightly used, so take that $80 K and divide it by my four tickets and you have a sales price of $20,000 per ticket.
Since I have no takers at that price, I'll see you all at the game!
If I didn't have tickets and wanted to be at the game? I'd pay around $2500 for prime P1 tickets, down to around $1000 for top row in the endzone.
Big discrepancy between the sales and purchase price over here...

I have tickets to both the home opener and the 1st exibition game. I feel the 1st exibition game will be insane.
