The reps are not empowered or trusted with anything by the higher ups. You'll never get the inside scoop on anything from them, and you'll never get any sort of leg up on better seats or heads up for upcoming events. Recently I asked my rep about this year's skate party and she said she hadn't heard anything about it, and literally a few minutes later the Rangers sent out mass emails with all the details about the skate partyOnly time I hear from my rep is when invoices come in haha...I usually contact though to find out my account balance from resold tix on the ticket exchange and stuff. I typically use that money towards playoff tix and season renewals so I like to keep track of it.
I love my view and have no problem with my rep. I just wish I had more leg room. I mean, I could lose some weight, but that ain't changing the fact that I'm over 6' tall. It's a quirky building. All seats should have the same leg room.
Don't all the seats (with the exception of the Gallery seats) have the same legroom?
They really don't, they vary considerably around the arena. I've found that the most leg room is in the platinum seats behind the benches. A person can comfortably be standing in front you you while you sit, and I'm 6'4"
Fair enough. I guess I was referring to all the seats excluding limited, high priced specialty sections like those or VIP seating. Certainly I would expect not to have my knees pressed against the seat in front of me if I'm spending $300 or $700 a ticket.
No, there's even noticeable variation from row to row within the same section and price point. It's just odd.
Nice thread topic.
I rarely speak with my rep.
A little change of topic within STH discussion for the new thread:
How do you guys utilize your reps? The only time I called mine was because I waited too long o print my tickets, and needed to pick them up at will call. (And she wasn't at the office at that time so I had to call a general number.) I just saw someone suggest to talk to a rep when they wanted to trade 2 tix for 4. What other things can they help with?
Speaking from recent experience, reps don't do a whole lot. Especially considering what us STHs pay. I posted the thread about trading my 2 seats for a cheaper set of 4 to bring my buddies. Seemed like a pretty reasonable request for one game. Turns out, my rep says the Garden doesn't do any exchanges like that. They were quick to try and sell me on a group suite tho... Hahaha... I was pretty much told to sell my pair on the secondary market and find a set of 4 on my own.
With regard to the idea of buying games and re-selling them: I purchased lower bowl seats in the $118 range this year with the hope of down grading into the 200s next year. I live a couple hours outside the city and have a job with a rotating schedule so I usually make about 10 games and then sell the rest. I know a lot of people say this idea doesn't work, but I had a good experience this year and covered most of the games I attended. I can def see the risk though as I lost money on several games. If they don't relocate me I probably won't renew again because that's too much money to risk IMHO. I've heard some people say I'm crazy for hoping to get in the 200s and others say I have a decent shot. Has anyone personally gone this route before? And what was the outcome?

That happened to me over the summer. I think I emailed mine about the outdoor games, she said they hadn't heard anything. That same day, they sent out the info. I actually emailed her to ask why they did this to them. She actually thanked me for understanding and said it is just the way it is.The reps are not empowered or trusted with anything by the higher ups.

These reps are completely useless
Don't all the seats (with the exception of the Gallery seats) have the same legroom? That said, I love the extra space my Gallery seats provide. It's probably only 3" or so, but it makes a huge difference.
I have row 1 gallery seats. Used to have section 115 row 15. So much more leg room in the row 1 gallery seats. I wish this would translate into buyers willing to pay more for gallery seats when I sell them. Unfortunately that's not the case.
No, there's even noticeable variation from row to row within the same section and price point. It's just odd.
First time STH here. Learned about the yearbook coupon from this thread. Any other gifts we get that I may not have a heads up about?

Where is the coupon in the account?
