Satans Hockey Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 Devils sent out a season ticket holder email. Can either go to the rescheduled games or use a buyback for them if we can't make it and get credit for next season. Perfect for me, I'll probably buyback every game lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish I had a crystal ball and had used all 8 of my buybacks already, I used most of them thankfully but if I used all of them I could have rolled that into 15 buybacks if I combined the 8 normal ones with these 7 final home games!

NJDevs4978 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Clearly you're just posting to get reactions now. SH is generally one that does want to go to the majority of games, but of course he and everyone else would be glad to financially get out of attending games during a season that was over by Halloween. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the team sucks, they aren't making the playoffs and the games are meaningless so if I do a buyback they give me back the face value of whatever game I choose to do a buyback for and that money comes off next seasons renewal. I see no point in not taking advantage of that at this point, especially because who knows how clean the arena will be or safe it will actually be to go back around other people in thst setting if they played these final 7 meaningless games. So I get to keep my same seats that I enjoy around the friends I made at the games but I get to end this horrible season earlier than expected. I fully admit this year is not the norm for me and while I've either attended or watched every game this season so far I absolutely checked out in late October with the horrendous start this team had since the season was basically over before it really began. I'm thrilled that this season is technically over even though I'd never want to see it under these circumstances.

I don't have a problem with the question. I generally save the buybacks for games that interfere with the Red Bulls (depending on which game is more important) and sometimes I have other conflicts that simply come up across the year. I love the buyback feature and I hate that they are lowering it from 8 to 6 games next year. I'm trying to fight the team on that since I really don't use any of the other perks that they give.

I understand your point, though I disagree with the sentiment. If I were a season ticket holder I’d be going regardless of how bad the team was, because it’s my team. I don’t care how bad we are, I’d rather be watching hockey than no hockey. But that’s me. I still go to games when we’re bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do agree that mfitz seems to be one of the more angry/agitated/opposed posters here lately (which is usually abnormal for him), I will also say that I was sort of wondering the same question in regards to SH - mainly because it has seemed that over the course of this season that he's looked for lots of reasons and excuses to not go to games. I don't mean it as a personal attack and is never fault anyone for making their own decisions, but I was something that I too noticed, and just had me curious and wondering the same thing.

I go to bad games when we are losing too..... Like the past 7 out of the 8 seasons that we have missed the playoffs and won 1 measly playoff game during that time span! Lol This season I think I missed maybe 8 games between using some buybacks and some that I was able to sell for face value. There's been 34 home games so far plus pre-season so I really haven't missed that many considering. I wasn't expecting this team to be a cup winner but I expected a bubble team and this team came out with that 4-0 lead and the arena was absolutely going wild and then it felt like we got our teeth kicked down our throat and the season was over by the end of October. And whether the reasons were right or wrong and I'm actually fine with a lot of them but we had our mvp, coach and GM all gone in a quick time span. This team has gotten plenty of money from me and this situation sucks but I'm taking those final 7 games as buybacks and running. We also won't really know how "safe" it really is to come back if they play and I bring older family members with me most games and I don't think their lives are worth risking to watch this horrible team.

No, that makes total sense. I’m just always curious because I always see STH’s talking about using their buybacks like someone is forcing them to go otherwise. As a non-STH I just find it weird.

I have season tickets to the Red Bulls too so if they playing a playoff game in the fall I'm 100% going to that over an early regular season Devils game. There's other events or just life events that end up coming up too that make buybacks great because I have the option to get my money back over just eating the tickets or losing money on the secondary market if there's no demand for that game.

I’m questioning why one would root for more so they don’t have to go. I mean the biggest thing we don't have is if the team sucks is the ability to get in for next to nothing like a lot of people do. Don't get me wrong I don't have an issue with it but having more buybacks cancels some of that out for me when I'm paying almost double some of the people a few rows behind me that got them off the secondary market last minute. I don't have any issues supporting the team but it's nice to get some money back off my next year's season tickets when the team sh!ts the bed. Plus it's always nice to have more flexibility, so I'd always take as many as I could get.Feeling sick or had a rough day at work? Can call up the rep and they will issue one last minute as long as you don't abuse that. Another event pops up that you would rather go to than a midweek game vs Calgary? Buyback. Wanna take a last minute vacation somewhere because a good deal popped up? Buyback. It's just nice to have as many options as possible because it's not like I really know what I'm doing in March of 2021 and the team also gets the benefit of collecting 2020-21 money from February to September before the regular season even start. If I use a buyback for a game and it's a stinker and we get shutout or destroyed it feels like dodging a bullet lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
