Crowd predictions for this series.

Hey! one more reason its fun to be a Devils fan, sellouts aren't to often and this gives us something to talk about. 15,500 for Thursday me thinks.

im going with 16000 on thursday and hopefull a sellout on saturday, im going to that game so it would be nice to have a sellout crowd that night .:)

Saturday is going to be fun a lot of time to tailgate I think a sellout is possilble. We had over 18,000 for the last Sat. playoff game.

You guys should make it an all day event starting with Champions on Ice

The Devils are Champions on Ice :D

I think the NHL showed pity on us when they gave us two home Saturday games this series.

That and CBC would be pissed if they got screwed out of another Saturday night with out an Eastern Canadian team playing.

I say about the same as the first round. 14,000+ for game 1 because of no discount tickets this time and maybe a sellout on Saturday, with a lot of Sens fans making the trip and filling those pesky $95 seats behind the goals.

Game 1 - 17,213

Game 2 - 19,040

I'd say somewhere around 15,000+ for the first game, and for game 2 somewhere around last Sat. game

Game #1-18,335

Game #2-19,040

Sat against Tampa had some great tailgating.. I plan on getting there very early for Game 2 and an 8:00 start allows even more time :)

Game 1- 17,946

Game 2- 19,040

That's like $160 canadian... :yashin:

$106.

We have 2 saturday night home games. We should sell them out.

Although we could sell more out, because I am sure many Senators fans will make the trip!

This is going to be interesing on Saturday. With all the Devils Tailgaters and seeing the crowd for the figure skater fans walking out... Wish i could be there.

Thursday - 15.4k
Saturday - First sellout!

Game-1 14,221

Game-2 18,523

How much have ticket prices risen for the second round? If not more than $10, I'm guessing we'll have a sellout late in this series. I mean, c'mon, three-quarters of our fan base just attended the last couple of games. :sarcasm

I bet less than 15 people on this board plan on attending a game. Finals are coming up so I'm sure most of us will (or should) be studying our ***** off.

EDIT: So we can say ass but not in the plural tense?

That's like $160 canadian... :yashin:

haha... Our exchange rate isn't that bad. Plus, even if it did work out to $160 is still a lot cheeper than you'd pay for good seats at SBP. I payed over $100 a ticket for round 1 to sit in the third bowl. It might actually be cheeper for Sens fans to get a car load of people to split the gass money and drive down to Jersey to see the Sens and Devs play than to pay for a ticket to see the Sens play at home!

I am not talking about most on this board, but we have alot of cheap fans who don't like to part with their money, but then they complain when the media rips on Devils attendance.

I would be a rich man if I got a dollar for every Devils fan that has told me one of these lines the last few weeks:

1. "No, I'm not buying tix for the first round, I am going to wait until a later round".

2. "I would go in a heartbeat but I'm like short on cash right now."

3. "I just don't have the funds for the first few rounds, $45 is a alot of cash Bro."

4. "I'm not paying $12 to park at that mess of a lot."

5. "I'm saving my money for tickets in Newark next season."

The exchange rate was almost that bad 10 years ago though. I dated a gal from Saskatchewan back then and flew up to see her a bunch of times. I remember getting alot of canadian cash for my US cash. Incidentally I still have 40 bucks canadian left in my wallet which has now gone up in value since then LOL.

I checked on line today, and found you can get better seats in buffalo then in Jersey, WOOHOO !!:handclap:

Assuming it get's to get game 5 and I'm sure it will, you will see more Sens fans come down for that game then game 2, especially if the series is 2-2 or 3-1 Ottawa. My friends and I are thinking of doing it (having come down in the 2003 ECF for game 4...wonderful experience, as everyone was pretty friendly). Game 2 might be too early in terms of planning. It sure is for me and my friends.

100,000

Found out today that I may be closer than the four and a half hours away for game 2, and would love to go to the game. If i get there early enough would i be able to find a single ticket, from the box office or someone outside selling them? I don't want to buy them now due to the fact I don't know if i am going to be the 90 mins away that i will be.
Thanks

All sound reasons. A good majority of Devils fans these days are kids in college and the whatnot. People who dont have easy access to money or transportation.

Hence ticket prices + parking lot + no mass transit + traffic = Less ticket sales.

It's tough to say since the game on Sat will likely sellout. A lot more people start showing up after the first round and Ottawa will attract a lot more of their own fans than Tampa Bay.

How early can you get there? You can call ahead to the box-office to see if any tickets are still available; your chances will improve if you can get there in the earlier in the day.

There is a chance you could scalp tickets before the game. I went to every home game in the first round and even though we arrived after the first period had started all three times (F@#$% early start times) I always saw at least one guy near the front of the arena selling tickets.

I think there's a real chance you could buy a single ticket the day of the game, but it's far from a sure thing. You should only go if you're willing to risk the chance that you might drive to the arena and end up not scoring a ticket. That, I'm guessing, would really suck.

This is going to be interesing on Saturday. With all the Devils Tailgaters and seeing the crowd for the figure skater fans walking out... Wish i could be there.Oh yeah i forgot to mention were having a kegger!:cheers:

I'll guess 16,589 for game 1 and 19,040 for game 2.

See this is fun,:D how can we get the V bookie involved? The way everybody is talking about Saturday im glad i got the 8game strips.

It is really, really hard to say. The Devils haven't sold out a game yet, but a Saturday night in the second round just might sell out.

If it does sell out, the cheap seats will go first and the $95 ones will be the last to go. If you can only afford the cheaper ones then I wouldn't make the drive. But if price is no object, I would imagine that even if there is a sellout you could find some people selling tickets outside.

The Devils are Champions on Ice :D

They know that the Devils have trouble selling out playoff games. My friend was bragging about getting his tickets for Saturdays game and I just laughed at him. They can't fill that stadium for anything

Devils fan8 predicts a sellout tommorow.

17k for game 1

18,600 for game 2

The correct answer is 15,512 for Game 1.

woooo!! I'm the winner:handclap:

I did look a lot less then 15000 when I was there, but i guess its just the building :dunno:

Being their too it only looked like 14,000 tops. And I also won guessing 15,500 for game 1 and all I got was this clapping smile.:handclap:

It is really, really hard to say. The Devils haven't sold out a game yet..

:amazed:

:amazed:

They also play in an inconvenient building that is too large for them. Quite a few of the crowds the Devils have had this year and 2 of the Tampa 1st round games would be sellouts in the new arena next year.

Game 1- 17,946

Game 2- 19,040

I'm thinking you have to get their before Champions on Ice, to secure a good parking spot. And by the time they come out you should be in fine form to razz them about their preference for that other form of 'ice-entertainment'.

it is kind of bad to rely on opposing fans to help sellout the arena.
Last night there were no more than 100 Ottawa fans, but I could see a few thousand of them coming down for Saturday night's game since tix are still available.

Ever hear the Van Halen song "Where have all the good times gone".
How about, "Where have all the Devils fans gone".?:p:

What did I ever say about needing opposing fans? I said that more than a few of the crowds this year would be sellouts next year at the new arena.

It's not like only the Devils rely on other teams' fans. No games would sell out if it wasn't for fans of other teams going.

Because, outside of Canada and *maybe* a few US markets, the league is in
trouble.

No one's talking about Detriot, again, everyone's talking about Jersey. Which one is more shocking and more proof of maybe, just maybe, there's a big problem here?

Rangers tickets are available again, BTW. If they go down 2-0, will they have a hard time hiding it, like they did last year? If they go down 3-0, will the place be short of capacity (clearly) and half full with Sabres fans, like last year?

The NHL is doomed as long as Nero keeps fiddling with his BS "record attendance" and "everything is sunny" BS.

I just searched on Ticketmaster for the best availble seats and they are in row 4 of section 203, upstairs behind the net.

Lower bowl has sold out, as have the sides of the upper. Looks like we'll be pretty close to a sellout for tomorrow night.

I hope so, but I can't see it happening, we'll get another 18k+ crowd, but not 19,040.

We have too many fans that don't like to part with their money. I am not talking about college students or people that have a tough time making ends meet supporting their families. I am talking about "fans" that have good jobs and disposbale income, but are too cheap or lazy to gt to CAA to support their team.
These "fans" are a shame.

I bet you'll have a sell-out Saturday for game 2, or pretty darn close to it.

Based on previous attendance I think so too. The Saturday night Tampa game was near a sellout and so was the Friday night game 5.

But who exactly are these people? is this just a hunch on your part or can you provide evidence?

I usually make it to a few games a year. I'd love to go to more. I can afford it. But I don't have the time. Working in NYC 'til 6 most nights means there's no way I make it to CAA by gametime during the week. Weekends are family time, and my kid is too small to take to games. Next year I will split season tickets with some buddies because I'll actually be able to make it to The Rock after work and then jump on the same train I take every day anyway to go home. Don't presume that people who can't make it to the arena are cheap or lazy. :teach:

Tonights crowd will be 19039.

There will be drunk people in the crowd.:cheers:

Tonights crowd will be 19039.

And there it is, with me it would have been 19,040 but I can't go because I live in Texas, I know, lame excuse but it would be a 3600 mile round trip for me ;)

We did it we friggin soldout a game!!!:handclap: It looked like a Rags sellout crowd against Florida during the week but, its a SELLOUT!!!!:towel:

Another thing I guess we should expect sellouts for the rest of our playoff games. I was surprised when someone confirmed it was a sellout about 1,000 to 1,500 no shows. Maybe they had Yankees Red Sox tickets too. It was even less people left for the game winner.:shakehead

Crowd was still rockin' though.

Crowd was still rockin' though.Yes!!! we were a great 7th man can't beat home ice advantage. You got to think big crowds really get our guys going more than it does for other teams who are used to playing in front of a packed house.

i had two empty seats next to me, and saw many more, but ill take it. not so many ottawa fans, i would say around or less than 100.
