Silly Question for people from PA

<p>I don’t know if anyone can help me with this but it neve rhurts to ask… Does anyone have any connections to buy tickets to the Flyers for cheaper then asking price? I want to take my BF for his birthday but man is it expensive. Stub hub and ebay aren’t really much help.</p>

<p>Your best bet is probably to google one of the fan online communities and see if anyone would be interested in selling a couple of their season’s tickets. Usually, season ticket holders will have some games during the season that they are unable to attend and they might be happy to sell them for a bit of a discount. In cities like Philadelphia, where attendance is good, it’s pretty near impossible to get tickets for less than face value.</p>

<p>try craigslist.
it gets tricky, sometimes you can get a cheaper price buying either very close to the game time or very far out. all depends on who they are playing, how they are doing.
Flyers were very good last season so I suspect the tickets will be going for a premium. Don’t even bother trying for a game with the Bruins, Rangers etc. Look for a game from a non-descript team.</p>

<p>The game I was looking at was vs the Devils… are they any good? I’m honestly not a very big hockey fan, but it’s not for me so that doesn’t matter. Flyers tickets are always going for a premium… this is exactly why we have never gone. Last year he took me to the sixers for my birthday and we sat in row one courtside for like 45 bucks a ticket off stub hub… The same seats for flyers don’t even exist, but the closest thing is going for like 500 bucks each on there. I found upper deck seats for like 50 each, but they are in the highest row possible, and I hate sitting up there at their stadium.</p>

<p>There is a huuuuuge difference between the Flyers and the Sixers. Even when the Sixers are doing well, they struggle to fill seats for games against weaker teams, and when the Sixers are doing poorly – which is most of the time recently, especially last year – they can’t even get season-ticket holders to come to the games. The Flyers sell out almost every game, regardless of how well they are doing in a particular season (and they usually do pretty well year-in and year-out). Demand is especially high for nearby rivals, and the Devils are the nearest-by and biggest rivals. You are not going to have an easy time finding tickets for less than a big premium over face.</p>

<p>They lost to the Flyers in the playoffs last year. They are from New Jersey. Plenty of NJ fans will want tickets too. They won’t be cheap, unless you get lucky.</p>

<p>Maybe I should just come up with a new idea. I was thinking I’d take him there and get his name put up on the board for his birthday.</p>
