So, what DO you use account credit for? Can’t use it on ticketmaster resells, can’t use it towards your plan or the next year, can’t use it on merch or food, and can’t use it on the special pricing for promo nights.


So yeah, I'm a firm believer in if you're buying season tickets, you're wanting to go to the games, you're not trying to flip tickets for a profit or treat it as an investment. I got half season blue line and have been largely OK with it. I go to most games on my plan and have been able to give away tickets to coworkers when I couldn't.

I've mostly struggled when trying to do something atypical. Like I always have friends who come in to see the Bruins – but the folks with seats next to me don't communicate and are different most games, so I gotta sell my seats there and grab 4 seats elsewhere in the arena. Or if my Ma's visiting, same thing – can't just add on a seat and I get it, I'm in the block with other season ticket holders.

And last year I ended up with a chunk of account credit I couldn't use – anyone else go to fan appreciation night standing room only since there was nothing else you could use account credit on?

So this year I figured I'd try to get ahead of things. I love going to the HIFE (or now Common Thread) nights, and the Blue Line got fucked on that one, so I traded in some nights and saw there were some FANTASTIC prices on tickets through the promo page. But…you can't use account credit on em.

I called my sales rep and he confirmed it for me.

So…what's the point? You can only use account credit on brand-new tickets with price set by the account manager page. Come time when single ticket sales are open, are we just screwed since those'll be bought up by scalpers and hopeful resellers?

Anyone have better use of their account credit I'm overlooking?

  1. From what I understand it’s basically just a way to sell your tickets for credit towards full-priced tickets that your plan doesn’t have (or extras to other games you do) – which is also determined by other STH “selling” their games back too. I’m not sure if STH get first dibs on other STH’s “returned” seats, but my guess is it’s their way to make up for half-season holders who wanted a particular game on their schedule and didn’t get it.
