Nashville folks/ Preds question

[AlCoDog]

So we’re going to Nashville in a couple of weeks. Was looking at taking my 2 boys to the Preds game because I’ve heard how awesome it was. Game is on Tuesday night. Thanks to fees on ticketmaster and stub hub, it’s going to be over $400 for 4 of us to sit at the very top of the arena. I don’t mind paying that for decent seats, but not for my head to touch the rafters. My question is this, do i have a chance of showing up and buying tickets outside the arena for a more reasonable price? Will i have any luck walking up to the box office?

Went to a game right before Christmas. It was sold out and I saw no scalpers. I think they are all pretty much sold out.

Why don't you just call the ticket office and see if you can buy tickets over the phone? I know when I go to a concert or other event at our civic center, I just drive down and buy tickets. The last time I bought through TicketMaster they charged more than $30 per ticket extra. I'll never do that again, just out of principle.

Yeah, the fees are ridiculous.

I'm a season ticket holder at Preds, PM me for some advice

Last season they would release a small handful of tickets on gameday at pretty low prices. And there's some way to get cheap tickets through Subway Restaurants but I think that's only for students.

Also, some of the nosebleeds directly behind the goal can give a pretty good view of how the plays develop. The Preds put on a great show regardless of where you're sitting really. I'd just try to avoid the corners.

Oh, and one more thing. The stubhub and seatgeek prices usually drop a lot in the last hour before a game. But that's probably a risk you don't want to take if you're just there the one time.

Good luck!

I would second that they put on a great show. We went to the worst home game of the year, the Preds were down 4-0 in like the first 8 minutes, lost 4-1. We still had a blast. We were in the upper deck and the view was fine, not really a bad seat in the house. The total Bridgestone experience is incredible. As long as my son is still a college student a game over Christmas is in our plans. It turned me into a rabid fan. I get Fox TN on my DIRECTV package and I watch every game now.

I make a few trips a year to see them and always buy on Stub Hub late afternoon of the game and haven't had a problem yet. The extra fees they charge you suck but its the best option I've found

I signed up for PredsPass this season, and have scored some decent lower-level tickets at or below face value. I don't know if it's workable for you if you live out of town and have to make a planned trip.

I haven't noticed this season, but there were a few scalpers I saw last year. I imagine mid-week games are easier to scalp than weekend, and I don't know if you'd save any money over online resellers.
