Spoke with my ticket rep today. Explained to her it wasn't the teams' disappointing season which is stopping us from renewing but feeling unwelcomed and concerned about the border crossing. She said we are not the only fans expressing this concern (not surprised) and asked that we keep her informed of our next couple crossings so the 'organization can have a better understanding of the impact.'

While this is still unlikely, its far from out of the question. Hence why I'm not renewing my season tickets. Way too much risk without even considering what the CAD/USD conversion is when I would be paying the majority of the invoice this summer.

Pretty tough on this side hearing constant threats of losing Canadian sovereignty and actively attempting to tank the economy with tarrifs to be coerced. I haven't seen Canadians this pissed or united in my lifetime. Canadians and Americans have similar cultures. We have been best friends for generations. This sucks. Back to the Sabres focus - I am very curious to see what impact this (hopefully temporary) shift in relations will have on the season ticket base. Combined with another disappointing season, I think we're going to see a major dropoff in season ticket sales for next year.

Agreed. Just devastating we need to have our elbows up against our brother, sisters and best friends….

Has way more to do with the GOP than a message to Pegula.

I can’t imagine there isn’t a decent size impact. Many southern Ontario fans in the same boat as me.

Depends what day of the week. Weekend games it’s cheaper for seasons, weekdays are way cheaper just buying through ticket master secondary market.

It's been a dream of mine to be a Sabres season ticket holder and I would have renewed again for next year if not for the political uncertainty. I've notified my ticket rep I won't be renewing my membership and hope the border continues to welcome fans from southern Ontario. Hopefully I will attend individual games next season. With so many fans who support the team from southern Ontario, I truly wonder what impact we're going to see to the season ticket base.

I was just disappointed they never really gave him a look at wing. The best he’s looked in the last two years was playing wing at the worlds. He was a turnover machine this year and ok they’re moving on but wish we got an extended look there just to be sure.

I enjoy going with my wife and two sons. Even with the losing it’s a fun outing. Just sucks this political uncertainty. Small chance the border becomes closed or more difficult for those from southern Ontario to cross in the near future. Slim chance to be sure but still a hell of a lot higher than it was a few months ago. If not for that I would be leaning towards renewing. We will see what the next two weeks bring prior to early bird pricing deadline.

Just received an email for my STH renewal. Looks like a very small increase from last year but not by much. Still on the fence if I renew or not. Rates always go up but nice to see it wasn't a dramatic increase I suppose....Not going to make this a political thread but the thought of possible future border restrictions on Canadians and/or the state of the dollar is giving me the most hesitation to renew.

This is pretty funny. We might be the best first period team in the league but have blown so many games. This is nowhere near a team that is known for closing out a game. What are you teaching them Lindy?

That was fun. Big win Canada!!!!

Hope it’s some good hockey. USA looks pretty good on paper.

No I didn’t see or hear the Pegulas being announced either. They certainly didn’t have to but thought there would have been a video segment of the ownership congratulating Rob at some point.
