80% of the Upper West is reserved for group tickets, University Alumni, Canadian Tire Auto club , other team’s season seat holders and corporate give aways.
During the season, if you have the right promo code those upper west seats light up bright blue on Ticketmaster before a game.
I know this first hand because I’ve bought some during the season with a promo code.
It’s frustrating as I tried to upgrade my season seats there in 2022 and was told they were not available.
I don’t get the logic of making them unavailable.
I’m actually looking for the lower west. I’m on the upper West. I’m just surprised that not a single pair of lower west seasons are available.
Most of my friends who are on the lower west got them when THF opened. I absolutely was not in a position to afford lowers then, so I’m ok with the uppers. But nows when I’d start to consider the upgrade (even though looks like it’ll be 4x the cost of my currents…still at $215/seat)
I think as people come off the Home field Advantage at the end of next season combined with the team’s performance in 2024, PLUS inflation and the value of goods, you could see some seats open up.
But you’re right. When they went to 22k seats they created more demand and charged more for seats. Supply and demand is a very basic premise which Bob knows well.
I think you’ll see something available soon. My ticket rep asked me just today if I’m renewing ( Upper East) and I said no ( many reasons not specifically team related). So technically my seats still show as not available at least until today.
This week is the last week to get on the 5 month payment plan.
I was able to move from section 103 to 104 (west side) two weeks ago with no trouble but I did not have a wealth of options - basically a choice of two pairs. It’s probably easier with pairs.
