13,645

13,645

Ice storms aren't good for attendance.

11,500 if it's bad, aka "STH only night."

14,500 if it doesn't happen.

I hope it doesn't happen, I want to watch the Giants game at the Rock. But I'm not going to die to get there.

13,645




13,646

14,133 paid and 12,000 in the house and less if this winter storm is anything.

I'm gonna say paid is 14,148.

I don't think the weather will be as much of a factor with the availability of trains so I'm gonna say actual will be like 12,500 or so

I got some old useless equipment I could give away. hahah

Edit: Oh and a pair of nike hockey skates (roller) that I wore twice when I was like 14. If you're a size 9 they're all you!

haha alright. and as an added bonus, i'll goto the Devils Den and have them print Stevens number and name on it.

14,080.

It will be a good crowd like last night vs. the Canadiens.

Bad weather, NFL games on, Giants at 4pm......... Not a great turn out tomorrow.

just a suggestion, put your prediction in bold this way it is easier to find out who came the closest

mine

12,527

I'll bite

eleventeenthousandandthreeve

EDIT: I'm pretty good at math but couldnt possibly put that number into digits

14000+ because even for football, the games arent necessarily "big"

Actually, I just went on ticketmaster. Uppers are sold out. Singles only in $65. Pairs only in CI $100's, the offset ones, obviously you can get seats. Singles only in the $75's next to the $100's, plenty available in the small $75 sections. The usual compliment of downstairs offsets.

And this is before tomorrow, before anyone knew about the weather. Whoops. Big gate, big no shows.

I go 15,278 and if the weather was halfway decent, maybe more. I don't think they're going to release tickets this morning, it wouldn't make any sense, if they were going to release them, they'd do it Saturday morning.

12325

There are uppers available again on Ticketmaster.

Regardless of the paid attendance I don't think there will be a great crowd. I don't know what the weather is like around Jersey, but here in Newark it snowed last night (probably 2-3 inches). I'm sure the roads will be absolutely fine by game time, since it has stopped snowing, but I'm also sure that will turn a lot of people off.

I just checked on TM and couldn't find any uppers or $65 seats. Regardless, I'm gonna go to the game and try and get a $10 ticket. I doubt there will be much of a walkup crowd if its snowing or raining out. Worst comes to worst, if there are no cheapies available I'm sure I'll find someone trying to dump a single ticket.

Which is y today would be a great day to take they train. :teach:...................I say around 15k

We have 12,000 season ticket holders...so our attendance should never be below that...

Anyway, snowing pretty hard here in Bergen County at 10:30...people should take the train...

bergen county return trains 7:21 then not again till 9:21....

subtract 2 from everyone's bids, my wife and kid aren't going anymore.. I'll update you if you should subtract 3 :)

Dude, go and take a train to the game. The roads will be decent by 4pm, but this is the kind of day in which mass transit to The Rock is a great option and safe.

Go Devils!

If they already paid for their tickets then I am not subtracting anything.

Depends where in Bergen County you are going to. From Secaucus the Main/Bergen Lines run more often than the Pascak, which runs every 2 hours on weekends for its new service.

Just a reminder whoever predicts the correct or closest to the paid crowd wins!!!:D

Nope, he is right, that is for the Main/Bergen lines. Therefore, the train is not an option today for those of us who live in northern Bergen country.

13,320 tonight. Coincedentally will also be the margin of victory. ;)

Ticketmaster makes me look dumb again. I think from now on, I'll wait for day of game.

Holding a bunch of seats until the morning of a 5PM start on a bad weather day = why the Devils are the Devils when it comes to business.

So, you turn off everyone that thought it was a hard ticket (for cheaper seats) and try to the move the rest into winter weather. I really don't want to see another article blaming the fans.

Roads are fine in Morris County. I just road from Rockaway to Denville and Route 80 and 46 are in good condition. Further East is probably better since they got less snow.

Perception counts for alot.

Also, people last night who may have been thinking about going, but could only find singles $65 and down and some crummy $75 seats in the little sections.

true.

crummy? thoes mezz seats are great, just a tad over-priced. but if someone buys them at that price they must have the cash to expend.

Exactly. I'm REALLY getting sick of this holding back cheap seats nonsense to trick people into buying unwanted $65 and $100 seats.

You have season tix right?

I don't think they are holding back too many upper level seats anymore. as the season goes on more people are buying the $35-$20 seats in advance, including scalpers.
The $65 seats have half priced deals for most games too, so the $75+ seats are mostly what is remaining for sales on TM and at the Box Office.

You can have 20 in 212 if you want 'em.

They're holding back tickets upstairs, and really, everywhere.

I understand holding back some for gameday sales, but not tons and tons of them.
Today, maybe it's going to bite them in the ass.

I am going to predict 12 313

I just drove up from exit 98 on the parkway, up to Sussex County and the roads are fine!

So, if you're scared to drive, don't be! Just leave a little earlier and take it slow, but the roads were fine and I was doing well over the speed limit!

And the winner is MKWing26

14,978

Damn weather and Ticketmaster. I was close, even if I disowned my prediction.

And the winner is MKWing26

There's just no way to figure this "paid attendance" stuff out if they say only 103 less tickets tonight than Friday night.

In the places there are tickets available, it was a similar crowd to Friday.

The difference between the two games was the amount of no-shows.

Wasn't too bad all things considered. Imagine if they actually had some tickets
to buy yesterday. :shakehead

And the winner is MKWing26

14,978

yes! thank you, thank you. I actually missed today's game, go figure. Good to see the boys ran the streak to 7. I'll be in attendance against the Bruins on wednesday.

so you should have guessed 14,977;)

I thought the crowd was a decent size for a crappy day and a 5pm game on a Sunday during football season!

It looks like the sides of the arenas are starting to fill up (the $65/$100 seats behind the goals) and I guess discount codes really help that!

I just wish downstairs had a bigger crowd! But, not a bad crowd like I said!

Now, if we could all learn how to cheer so it's not so quiet and having that library feeling it would be great!!!

This was the ramsey17 (suffern) line. it had an odd return time of 7:21 then 9:21. We take it for every weekday and it runs about every half hour,.

When they drop those prices from $115 and $95 to $95 and 85, along with dropping the mezz and other over priced tickets it wont fill.

I was there because of one of those discount codes! I was in section 106 cheering my little heart out. Kind of funny the little antics of people in the arena. Also noticed that we can't seem to get a decent Go Devils chant going but we can get a really loud Rangers Suck and you can really tell when we BOO people.

I was thinking during those make some noise prompts we should just boo, it would be alot louder than the cheers.

You did not notice the perfect "Let's Go Devils" chant in overtime?



Patience, now that we got an arena that we can hear each other it will come!

Not one of the chants in that arena was perfect last night!

It's like doing a round with the "Let's go Devils" chant.

Was nowhere near perfect. People kept being out of synch and fading in and out. The boos were alot louder and in synch than the lets go devils chant. Also the retarded people in front of me couldn't figure out that the Lets go Devils, GO GO GO was actually a different chant.

You two are nuts! where were you sitting in the Jimmy Buff's line? :biglaugh:


I'll give you the whole game, the one in OT was about as perfect as you will get. Granted it did not have the percision of the rockettes but it was pretty damn good.

What does Jimmy Buff's have to do with this?!?

Anyway, sweetie, I'm at almost EVERY home game and I haven't heard one perfect chant yet.

They are always out of sync, half the crowd participates, it fades, starts up again, and it just keeps repeating itself.

It was a joke hero.

Sweetie? More like I am cool like the other side of the pillow champ. Seriously though I hope we are keeping this light hearted as I don't have the interest nor the energy to engage in a SERIOUS DEBATE about chants.... :biglaugh:


And I too am at most every game (30+ a season for over 20 years, cept when I was in the service.)

I agree right up to the overtime this last game. That chant had most of the arena participating and it was very insync IMO.


I will give you credit tho my man.... Perfectionists like yourself will only help us all get better.....




Were you at scott stevens jersey retirement night? Was the "Scotty Stevens" chant in sync?

I'm a female, that's why I called you sweetie!!

Anyway, yes, I was at Scott Stevens night, and it still had that echo/round effect. All of our chants do!

It's not about being perfect, it's more about the fans getting there acts together and learning how to chant together!

Ok cool. That makes more sense! :yo::biglaugh:

How many other arenas have you been to where you have not heard that. (btw I did not hear that once the SS chant got going).


All arenas will have that wave echo effect. It shows that more than one side is thinking to chant.


It's not about being perfect, it's more about the fans getting there acts together and learning how to chant together!


We are actually a loud building, our chants will get better now as we can hear each other. have faith!

How many other arenas have you been to where you have not heard that. (btw I did not hear that once the SS chant got going).

- See the arena thread to see how many I've been to!! In the Canadien arenas, they are always together. Watching other games on TV, they always sound together to me!
have faith!

I'm working on it!!!

Where do you usually sit in the Arena CJ? What section?

I'm gonna try to make more devils games but the ride isn't cheap for me unless I drive. Still expensive even when I drive and that means I can't drink at the game.

Not that it is worth it to pay 7-8 bucks a cup for beer.

I have been to the bell center, there is the echo and wave effect, though it is alot faster.

Anyways you can not compare any rink to Montreal. that is a special place.

Where do you come in from. We take the train and have the flash pass. 4 bucks a ride.

Yeah, that's the section my season tickets are in.

Perhaps you're correct, but they would certainly sell a lot more than they do now if the arena were properly priced.

I was there because of one of those discount codes! Why? There are plent of tickets priced at or below $35 for every game, and some of them offer a better view than the $65s discounted to $35.

:D

Perhaps you're correct, but they would certainly sell a lot more than they do now if the arena were properly priced.



I mispoke. Until they drop them it won't fill unless they can generate enough interest in the arena to warrant the supply demand scenario.



The smart thing to me would have been to have all the seats above the $35 at a lower price then slowy increase prices each year as demand dictates the ticket price. That way they can find thier maximum price they can charge while still filling the building.

Why? There are plent of tickets priced at or below $35 for every game, and some of them offer a better view than the $65s discounted to $35.


Where and when? Because I live far away I have to schedule everything in advance. Can I get $35 tickets not on discount way before the game?

Sections 211 through 213 and sections 228 through 230 are priced at $35. The view from 211,212,228,230 is blueline and 212,229 is dead Center Ice. You're really that much higher up than the $65 Balcony rows that they discount to $35. If you're someone that enjoys sitting behind the goal, then this obviously wont matter to you, but since a vast majority of folks prefer to be center ice it may be something you should look into.

Nah I saw the view from up there, its just not the same as where I was. The view is a little further away there. I can barely make out the player's numbers as it was where I was sitting.

You're talking about 50 or 60 feet maximum difference. You'd have to go up there to see it for yourself, and I think once you do you'll agree the view is much better than teh $65s behind the goal. At any rate, there certainly isnt a seat in the entire arena that you cant make out the players numbers from, even in the very last row of the building in the $10 corners.

No thats what I mean, I was up by those seats, I could notice a big difference. Maybe it was just my contacts not being up to prescription but I couldn't see clearly up there.
