dEnnis the Menace Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 Apparently since the season ticket renewal was at 99% they are capping Mini-pack orders at 3,500 (per Sabres homepage) so if anyone is ordering, I would get it in soon. I just sent mine in. The confirmation says it won't be processed until September though...hmmm.
wjag Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 GoDD is the 1% who didn't renew.... Said something about Sekera's liver.....

thesportsbuff Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 Dang, I was about to ask how many season ticket holders they lose each year on average... but I guess that pretty much answers that. With 2,000 people on the waiting list I was trying to decide if I should try to get on it, even though I can't afford tickets right now, in 2-3 years I should be able to..
... Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 Got my renewal in. Upgraded seats, too. Some in the posh 200's! :thumbsup:

I just sent mine in. The confirmation says it won't be processed until September though...hmmm. It probably has to do with payments for seasons being finalized. The renewal is an indication of those who outright declined their tix, but since the money isn't due for awhile, they won't know what the final renewal rate is until September. Although there's 3 installments, we usually don't get our $ in until the final installment.
korab rules Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 Got my renewal in. Upgraded seats, too. Some in the posh 200's! :thumbsup: Say Hi to Chet and Muffy for us, and tell them to get off their hands and make some noise so everyone at home who has never been to the arena can hear them.

We don't talk to each other in the 200's. Besides, we'll be too busy ordering our dinner from the waitresses and dining to be bothered with the game. :nana:

theesir Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 The confirmation says it won't be processed until September though...hmmm. The letter I received in the mail said that they will begin to process requests "in account number order" beginning beginning of September. I too sent mine in the next day, but it seems that they will give priority to those who have been mini-pack holders the longest. Last year was my first year so I assume I have a pretty high account number compared to many. That said, it was nice to have 200 level seats available as an option.

I've been a mini pack holder for two years, but since I didn't do "renew" last year in all of my wisdom, It says that this will be my second year, so I'm in the same boat as you.
Andrew Amerk Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 For these mini-packs, do you have to pay the full $$$ upfront, or is there payment plan options? Thanks for any assistance!
dEnnis the Menace Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Posted July 26, 2011 For these mini-packs, do you have to pay the full $$$ upfront, or is there payment plan options? Thanks for any assistance! 1) welcome aboard 2) With mine, I've always just saved up and paid up front. I would guess that if you do a ton of games (I usually only do 8), if you call them you might be able to work out something, but I honestly don't know.
Andrew Amerk Posted July 30, 2011 Report Posted July 30, 2011 Thanks for the welcome! Been lurking the board for years now, guess Pegulafever finally inspired me to join. Picked up tix for 11 games this year - looks like I will be spending a lot of quality time on I-90 this winter!
Andrew Amerk Posted August 27, 2011 Report Posted August 27, 2011 Anyone have any updates on the ticket processing? My card still hasn't been charged. I sent an email a couple weeks ago, and they wrote back stating everything would go thru late Aug/early Sept...

My friend who works in accounting says it shouldn't be too much longer before the processing is done.

spndnchz Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 I appreciate the update. Getting antsy over here! You should call. My first year with season tickets I applied online. Waited two weeks and still no confirmation. I called them and they said they never got anything. Luckily at the time there were still seats left.

I called them and they said they never got anything. Luckily at the time there were still seats left. Good idea. I called, and the guy said they arent able to look up online orders at all. He said as long as I got a confirmation email I should be good, and that they would start processing payments beginning August 30th (tomorrow)...
GreenDice Posted September 12, 2011 Report Posted September 12, 2011 It looks like they just charged my credit card on September 2. Hope to get my tickets very soon. I did not know that they process the requests based on account number. Even though I sent the application in very early, they must have given me 300 Level I tickets instead of 100 Level II tickets for 3 of the 5 games I requested. It didn't help when two of those games are against Boston. The other is against the Calgary. My guess the mini-pack renewal rate is indeed high.

The price is what they stated so I'm assuming I got all of my tickets I requested. I presume the tickets will be mailed? I have always had the print at home style of tickets but then again, I've never been a mini pack holder before this year either....
Andrew Amerk Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 I got charged on Sept 7. My card had expired by the time they tried taking the money, so they called me. No emails were sent about the tix, and nothing in the mail yet. Really hoping they send physical tickets! Should have asked when they called.
dEnnis the Menace Posted September 13, 2011 Author Report Posted September 13, 2011 They send physical tickets soon. You'll have them probably before middle of the preseason. I got charged the amount they said it was going to be, I've never heard of people not getting the seats they asked for, especially without hearing from them.
dEnnis the Menace Posted September 13, 2011 Author Report Posted September 13, 2011 They're here! Those look pretty slick!
