mmajeski06 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 As this thread is all over the place anyway I think they should just give some sort of upgrade or free stuff to go with the smaller packages rather than trying to do the discount. Just tier a small meal plan, beers, signings or something of that nature in so that there is value to locking in seats. Since Kovy is mainly responsible for the increase in ticket sales, how about throwing in a free Kovalchuk premier jersey. Pretty much a $150 value.

jim777 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Yeah, something would be nice, and the meal ticket would be my first choice. I'm down near Cherry Hill so the train tickets wouldn't help me but some incentive is better than nothing, definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njdevil26 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 The Devils will NEVER give out good jerseys. I remember when Jamie won the limo/jersey/red carpet thing for the 95 celebration. Her congrats e-mail said she'd get a jersey that was valued at 350$ as a prize as well. So it ended up being a replica white edge jersey with the letters and numbers HEAT PRESSED.

This is another example of some of the issues the Devils have with marketing and when it comes to treating its fans. I have stated this over and over again, and TG wrote a lengthy piece on his site a day after the light incident this past year about how the Devils run the organization like a minor-league team. If the team said she won a jersey valued at $350, she should have gotten an authentic with stiched on lettering. No exceptions. Was this for the 95 parade back in 95 or the 95 day at the Rock this past season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was excited to get like a real jersey. She thought it'd be a player from the 95 team. But it was an iron on replica that you'd get at Modells for 120$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't stand the heat pressed sh*t they sell on NHL.com / at the arena. The only way to get a quality replica is to go to Ice Jerseys / SportsK / Cool Hockey. Damn, I would say the fakes from China are even better looking than the NHL Shop replicas. Edited July 28, 2010 by mmajeski06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the whole ceremony for the 95 and 03 cup reunions I went to was pretty amateurish and it was kinda glanced over for the most part. I just do not hope we become like the Rags and celebrate our cups to no end like they do with 94. Hell, even at Modell's the replicas are stitched on. Not the best stitching job but still not ironed-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, I would say the fakes from China are even better looking than the NHL Shop replicas. I hate the heat-pressed junk they sell too. I ordered a jersey with Zajac on it from NHL.com and didn't know they heat-pressed it. I got it and not only was the heat-pressed sucky, the borders on the letters/numbers were in fact not fabric, but plastic with fake stitching drawn on! I was able to return it and get a full refund cause there also happened to be a stain near the bottom of the 9 on the back of the jersey out of the box and I emailed NHL.com a pic and they offered a full refund on that. I got my Zajac jersey at the Stadium Shop (I think that is the name) in the little tunnel that connects Penn Station to Gateway next to the Rock. It was stitched on and was in great condition.

CarpathianForest Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 The heading for the WInter Classic sounds like it was written by Bettman with Cindy in mind: "Winter Classic Hot Topic in Steamy Pittsburgh." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
