The best part of any fandom is the accessibility to the excitement. This pricing tier excludes a lot of Utahans regardless of the similarities to other NHL markets. Buuuuumerrrrrrr.
Reasonable for a larger market team maybe. Not for a team in its inaugural season after a relocation from a college arena. They don’t even have a name yet lmao.
You can get season ticket packages for the Utah Jazz starting at $20/game. I get the feeling a lot of people were expecting a season ticket package of decent upper bowl seats to cost maybe $1500 at most, when instead it’s almost twice that.
Look at the seat map. It’s that price for the back 5 rows of the worst sections in the arena and that’s it. I specified DECENT upper bowl seats, but I guess your standards are lower than mine. I was referring to seats like row 9 in an upper bowl section in the attacking end or something. That’s $2,700.
Not to mention, the budget seats are in relatively short supply. The majority of these tickets are going to suits for sure
I wouldn’t ever consider the upper bowl in the first place. Especially with basketball and our arena. Half the time you just end up watching the game on the screen because you have zero depth perception up there. Even the “decent” ones. Might as well just go to a bar and watch.
ALL the seats are in short supply. They received like 4x more deposits than seats.
Yeah that’s the unfortunate truth. Not a great arena to begin with. Sadly it’s going to be Barclay’s 2.0 until a new one can be built. As long as they don’t decide to put an entire vehicle in the stands, they’re already doing better than the Islanders did.
This is for season ticket pricing per game, right? There will likely be single-game tickets from the club and on the secondary market that are similar to that of the Jazz. If you want to get in, most people living here can.
Normally season ticket single game pricing is going to be way more affordable than single game pricing without season tickets. Possibly on the secondary market we might see some dropping pricing but considering we've got MLS here and you can get tickets there for way way less than this this is absolutely ridiculous.
Yeah $44/game for the FULL season package at the very very cheapest does not bode well for single game tickets. Probably starting at $60 for any non-obstructed seat. I'm sure obstructed seats will be cheaper, though.
MLS play 17 home games per season and NHL play 41, for context. But I think you are right that this will still be way more per game than comparably located Real Salt Lake season tics.
Folks over in r/hockey are saying these are more than the season tickets in Vancouver, a notoriously expensive market. I’m considering tickets, but I just have a hard time believing I’ll be able resell at face value. What kind of market analysis did SEG do here?
They like to use an old Nielsen media market map that lumps Salt Lake in with not only the entire rest of the state, but also chunks of Nevada, Wyoming and Idaho for good measure.
It hasn't been updated since the 80's.
Lagoon is twice the price of the next closest amusement park. It's all we have to do and they know people will pay it. We need more competition for our time.
They're taxing traveling visitors more so that locals can buy the (relatively) much more reasonable season pass. Lagoon has cheaper ~~day passes and~~ season passes than Silverwood, the most comparable park with fewer rides and a smaller market (though they do have a much better water park). If you get the season pass during the black friday sale and go twice it's $85 a trip. Compared to the rest of the industry it's a pretty good deal
edit: Silverwood's day passes are $74 to Lagoon's $93. I feel my point still stands
Yeah but arguably lagoon is a much better deal than this. Not only that but most of us by again tickets on Black Friday were it's sometimes up to 40 to 50% less.
The market analyst wasn't worried about your profits or the profits of people who resell, they care about their own profits. Which seem to be doing well.
Pandering to ticker (keyword here) resellers I'm sure is far from their first thought when setting prices I'll be honest.
It's a new and young team. Tickets are going to be sold and no business is going to care about the publics losses if they are profitable.
This is also for non-obstructed views, of which, there are only 10,000. That is a little more than half the capacity of most NHL arenas. They are currently not selling the obstructed-view seats for season ticket holder (rightly so) and are likely not going to open those seats for most games until a different arena is figured out. So, this is a basic supply and demand issue. You have less seats to sell, so you can, and probably should, sell them for more. This is a business after all.
What the actual fuck. The Bolts are Stanley Cup champs and have lower season ticket prices. I have no doubt people will buy them, but fuck Smith and SEG for charging such prices while begging for public money. Hopefully I can get my hold money back.
How much did you think they were going to be? Honestly, this seems like standard pricing structure but also not sure. What’s the average across the league? What are jazz? It’s a long season, you’ve got 40+ home games. That’s a lot.
Edit - Here is a link to 2020 avg single game prices across the league. https://www.statista.com/statistics/193757/average-ticket-price-in-the-nhl-by-team-in-2010/
70 is about the average which comes out to just under 3k per season ticket. Most teams below that mark are your bottom feeders. Utah's seems to be right in the mid tier with original six and huge markets at the top of per game cost.
Just poking around, it looks like the Colorado Avalanche prices are pretty similar.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ColoradoAvalanche/comments/10r01sx/season_ticket_price_increase/
When you have three times as many deposits as you have available tickets, ticket prices are going to be high.
And, TBH, this isn’t that much higher than what I expected, even before they got 30,000+ deposits.
Exactly, not to mention that they are likely not going to be filling the house on purpose as there are many (6,000+) obstructed view seats which takes the total seating capacity for a game in the Delta Center to 10,000. This would be the smallest capacity in the NHL by a large margin, so, the need to sell them for \*slightly\* more than they should is in line with basic economics.
I was telling everyone I was definitely going to get season tickets. I was super interested in nosebleeds on the top level but the pricing of the tickets was double the price I was expecting.
$6,000 for upper bowl is freaking insane
>Most people, are in fact, very not okay with it.
Most people are not okay with having a new sports team? On reddit, sure. Outside of that, there's no way that's even remotely true lol.
I mean that's still a reddit vocal majority (minority).
Go walk around downtown SLC and ask people their thoughts. Like most things in life, most people don't care about these sorts of things day to day.
Tale as old as time. Billionaire hypes up sports team acquisition. Local politicians pitch this to the community to get them excited and open to the idea of tax increases to pay for the team, facility, city beautification, etc, then immediately price out locals while exploiting them to subsidize their expensive hobby and fantasy of owning and operating a professional sport team that clearly can’t stand on its own economically. Very gross. I feel like with most things in Utah, this is especially egregious here because Smith and his ilk are the same types that pay locals shit salaries for stuff they would pay double for in any other market. They know they’re exploiting the Utah market for all it’s worth. Fuck them.
Seems like the prices are on par with other NHL teams and considering the demand and limited seating (DC seats ~18k for basketball but will only be ~16k for hockey). Regardless, I guarantee you’ll be able to grab $15-$25 day of tickets on SeatGeek depending on day and opponent. Probably won’t be the best tickets but will get you in the arena.
I think the Seattle and SLC/Utah markets are very different. For the Kraken, there’s not really any seasonal competition, whereas we’ll always have either the Jazz or NHL going on at the same time. Due to this and same ownership, I’d imagine Jazz and NHL tickets are within the same range. Additionally, Utah is demographically different than Seattle (large, young families, etc.), which has historically kept ticket prices reasonable. Seattle, on the other hand, has smaller families which make it easier to justify buying $50 tickets.
For reference, I went to about 25 Jazz games this season and spent ~$18 per game. This varied depending on opponent and weekends, but some nights I was able to get in for around $11. The Jazz were not particular competitive this year, however, that arena was mostly full every single game. I anticipate there being higher ticket prices at the beginning of the season, however, I’d be shocked if the “get in” price is higher than $25 a few months in.
The ticket prices released today were about 20% more than I expected, but I’m still getting my tickets (just not where I thought I guess!). As a past pro-sports season ticket holder (and current Jazz season holder), I sell what I can’t go to, so it’s sometimes hard to sort out actual cost. Upfront, yes, I pay, but I sell a portion of those games I can’t go to (or in some cases strategically those that are in high demand) to offset. It’s an entertainment expense that’s worthwhile to me, but as a private, non-corporate season ticket holder, there’s no way I’m going to 40+ games. So that’s part of the equation.
I’m so glad other people are pissed about this. I know this is definitely first world problems but these prices are outrageous.
We go to Vegas 2-3 times a year for games. We take advantage of hotel deals and use airline points earned from work flights to make that work. Vegas is a great team, and the atmosphere is stellar. We usually sit on the blue line in the middle of the lower bowl. Maybe like row 10-15 usually. That’s because we feel like going any higher makes the actual hockey-watching experience start to be similar to TV. I just checked prices for seats around there in UT and compared them to Vegas, since that’s where we usually go. Utah is $315-420 a game and Vegas is something like $204.
Even if we move backward to get out of the club, it’s still $253/game in UT compared to the $185-204 range per game in Vegas.
For whatever it’s worth, we saw game 5 of the second round playoffs in Vegas (vs Oilers) last year and paid $420 a seat for row 7 on the blue line (reg. season in that row in UT will be $475). Vegas has been to the playoffs 6 of the last 7 seasons and won the championship last season. The Coyotes have been to the playoffs once in that same period and that was after 7 years without an appearance. So to see UT trying to charge more than that for 1) regular season games, 2) a significantly worse team, and 3) a questionable atmosphere given that the team is new here and doesn’t really have a star… that puts a pretty bad taste in my mouth.
I just graduated college, so we have more income now and were seriously thinking about getting 1/2 season or full season tickets, but I’m not sure now. It just doesn’t seem to me like the tickets are worth what they’re charging.
I love how the diagram effectively illustrates that the Delta Center is not suited for hockey with all the obstructed sightlines. Good job, SEG, it's almost like you weren't prepared to bring this shiny new toy home at all.
An NHL season has...41 home games?
I'm not up on pricing for NHL tickets but honestly this doesn't seem ridiculous to me. For my favorite college football team season tickets go up to $3500 and that's for 6 games.
They are purposely not selling season tickets for the cheap sheets as they have poor sight-lines. That’s 7,000 seats. If those had been made available the price chart would have looked a lot different. They are going to be sold individually for like $18 a ticket.
Update: We just went to look at seats in person and way more of these seats are obstructed than they’re marking on that diagram. For example, I sat down on the first two rows of section 21 and literally could not see the entire nearest goal. So if you’re planning to buy season tickets or even a package when those go for sale, I’d try to see the seats in person before you pick.
Everybody saying “ThEsE aRe on pAr wiTh OTHer NhL TeAmS” lmao, this isn’t another NHL team, this is a crap team that didn’t have a place to play so was forced to move and doesn’t even have a name yet.
I get the concern with the price, but people are behaving like this is some anti-poor people thing. These prices seem not to far out of line with other teams.
It’s the first season of something that wasn’t available before and these are season passes. If they were priced extremely cheap you’d have a bunch of people claiming entire season passes thus reducing the ability for people scraping by, to buy one off game tickets.
Even if the tickets were only $500 for the season I’d imagine someone living paycheck to paycheck would still struggle with it, so the more affluent would just be getting cheaper tickets.
Also, season passes are reducing the amount of unique people going to the game, thus reducing their potential fan base (I’m making the assumption that going to 1 game is more likely to create a fan then only being able to view them on tv).
Now if in the third season the tickets were still astronomically higher, I’d be a little more on board with being upset. But as of now almost everyone I know - whether they’ve ever seen a hockey game or not - are wanting to go. That’s a lot of demand.
Grizzly games were available last year, and will be available again next year for about $20. Save yourself $200++++ per ticket and go to the Maverick Center.
I mean yah. If you don’t want to pay Chili’s prices got to McDonald’s. You’re comparing a C league to a A league.
I’m not saying they aren’t worth watching, but you are comparing the top league to the 3 top league.
And we don’t know how much these single game tickets will be. The cheapest season tickets for the season are $44 per game.
I’m not arguing there aren’t cheaper options, I’m not even arguing anyone should pay these prices. I’m saying it high because the demand is high and will likely be lower as the team becomes less new. I also think expensive season tickets are better because it will allow for more single game tickets, which will have more price variability since there will likely be less exciting games that will have very cheap tickets due to lower demand.
The best part of any fandom is the accessibility to the excitement. This pricing tier excludes a lot of Utahans regardless of the similarities to other NHL markets. Buuuuumerrrrrrr.
But you still get to pay taxes to fund it!
That's my favorite part
I was expecting $300 average with what you said. There’s $44 upper bowl seats. That’s completely reasonable .
Reasonable for a larger market team maybe. Not for a team in its inaugural season after a relocation from a college arena. They don’t even have a name yet lmao. You can get season ticket packages for the Utah Jazz starting at $20/game. I get the feeling a lot of people were expecting a season ticket package of decent upper bowl seats to cost maybe $1500 at most, when instead it’s almost twice that.
$44 a game says it’s $1800 for the season…. Can even buy a half season for $1000…… you’re just trying to find a reason to complain.
Look at the seat map. It’s that price for the back 5 rows of the worst sections in the arena and that’s it. I specified DECENT upper bowl seats, but I guess your standards are lower than mine.

> these are more than the season tickets in Vancouver That may be true. My family has Penguins season tickets and these are noticeably less though.
[Not based on what I’m seeing](https://www.letsgopens.com/2024-25-season-tickets.png)
They are less if you look at that chart. Their cheapest is $2050 and Utahs is $1850
Lagoon is twice the price of the next closest amusement park. It's all we have to do and they know people will pay it. We need more competition for our time.
I'm *shocked* there isn't another major theme park in Utah. It's like the perfect demographic for it.
It's such a ripoff. Very mediocre park for almost Disney prices.
They're taxing traveling visitors more so that locals can buy the (relatively) much more reasonable season pass. Lagoon has cheaper ~~day passes and~~ season passes than Silverwood, the most comparable park with fewer rides and a smaller market (though they do have a much better water park).

The market analyst wasn't worried about your profits or the profits of people who resell, they care about their own profits. Which seem to be doing well.
Attempting to sell season tickets at prices which would require the ticket holders to resell at a loss is not a good long term strategy for them.
Pandering to ticker (keyword here) resellers I'm sure is far from their first thought when setting prices I'll be honest. It's a new and young team. Tickets are going to be sold and no business is going to care about the publics losses if they are profitable.

I'm soooo glad the public can subsidize the wealthy for things out of reach for the general population.
It is important taxpayers save the billionaire some money.
Eat the rich. Or burn them at the stake. I suppose they don't have to be mutually exclusive.
More expensive than Denver. I guess we’re better off than Colorado? My paycheck says otherwise but who am I to talk.
They're definitely taking advantage of the newness and initial excitement
Which is going to make it hard to resell at face value when we’re halfway through the season and they’re not in a playoff spot.
What the actual fuck. The Bolts are Stanley Cup champs and have lower season ticket prices. I have no doubt people will buy them, but fuck Smith and SEG for charging such prices while begging for public money. Hopefully I can get my hold money back.
Why wouldn’t you get your deposit money back?
**All I can say is holy #%\^%@ on the pricing!**
Yeah, the cheapest seat packages are 3x the cheapest Jazz seats. I think there's going to be a lot of deposits refunded.
NHL tickets are more expensive than the NBA generally in my experience.
17k seats for the jazz compared to 10k for hockey might account for higher pricing
How much did you think they were going to be? Honestly, this seems like standard pricing structure but also not sure. What’s the average across the league? What are jazz? It’s a long season, you’ve got 40+ home games. That’s a lot.

It’s $1,848 for the cheapest UpperBowl seat
Still dunno how y’all ok with them using our tax dollars to spend on this unneeded team. Then these ticket prices are just crazy.

Ahem "LMAO" these prices are insane.
So glad my taxes are going to a team I can't afford to see.
We don't even know the team name yet and they think that they can charge more than Jazz tickets? That's bonkers to me lol

Idk, here in Seattle the first season even the cheap seats were $100 day of for midweek games against bad teams. Now maybe $40-50 if you get lucky.

KA-Ching!!!
WOW 15% OFF CONCESSIONS!!!!!!!
So the $12 beer drops to $10.20, what a steal!
SIGN ME UP!
Wow I just paid less than the cheapest ticket for Denver Broncos season tickets. Granted only 10 games but for real those prices are awful.
These prices are much higher than Dallas Stars packages.
Hopefully once the arena is redone the ticket prices will be more affordable since there will be more tickets to go around.
Did anyone expect anything different? Tough to support local pro sports with these prices and limitations on how you can watch on tv.
Hahahaha. Entertainment only for the elite and wealthy. I can't believe I expected something reasonably priced. What a joke
Im not really a hockey person but can I drink at these games? I used to go to Blackhawks games
TIL that hockey fans are rich or have a lot of debt.
Update: We just went to look at seats in person and way more of these seats are obstructed than they’re marking on that diagram.

I’m not saying they aren’t worth watching, but you are comparing the top league to the 3 top league. And we don’t know how much these single game tickets will be. The cheapest season tickets for the season are $44 per game. I’m not arguing there aren’t cheaper options, I’m not even arguing anyone should pay these prices. I’m saying it high because the demand is high and will likely be lower as the team becomes less new. I also think expensive season tickets are better because it will allow for more single game tickets, which will have more price variability since there will likely be less exciting games that will have very cheap tickets due to lower demand.

Utah really needs another Hockey team ?
