 What's up guys just got outside. It's actually super nice I think I should be able to get a one-wheel ride in before the weather gets, you know Questionable only thing we need to make sure of is that I am wearing the proper tire because currently I am dressed for the indoors I mean I would do it, but you know safety Back at a moment All right one-wheel and let's ride Almost forgot Safety, I mean it looks safe, but like take a look at this stuff. There's some level of ice just kind of I can make it work. I've not ridden this thing for a while, so Hopefully it goes okay. Yeah, so what I actually want to talk about today was getting tickets last last last minute By last I mean anything within the last 24 to 48 hours for an event actually happens And so today Saturday September 28th is just about that So I think we're like 25 26 hours for the next sense game, which is tomorrow Sunday December 29th I was playing the New Jersey Devils So I figured that would be the perfect opportunity for us to practice some last-minute ticket buying skills So first thing you actually to know is what happens when you're buying tickets last minute generally then last 24 to 48 hours Before an event actually starts that's kind of where you see the largest, you know price drops going on So basically if you're trying to save a ton of money for an event you buy it last second Basically within the last 24 ish hours So logically when you think about it it makes a lot of sense right you know same thing with like expiring food You know there's only a couple of days left for the best for date price usually comes down Just because you know they just want to get rid of it They'd rather get something rather than nothing, but then you might think oh wait What about airlines aren't airlines like the exact opposite where it's more expensive the last minute you buy the ticket But in this case I would say for about 80 to 90 percent of events when you're buying tickets last minute They're gonna be cheaper So again saving money number one So next thing you got to know you got to know your numbers So what does that mean basically what the event is who you're going with how much you want to spend all that kind of You know basics information, so I know I want to go here next thing I got to do make sure I get all my people Who want to come with me together. Let's look a phone call. It's cold. Why is it so cold? Well, that's lame Third step is actually getting the tickets themselves, and we're gonna do that from somewhere a bit more warm because I am frozen A little bit of a lull in the action here is that way Like to switch number three is actually always buying the tickets themselves And that's how I would say the most fun part of it actually attending the event because buying tickets That's where you're gonna be able to find that best best deal to get yourself to the game for the best price And the best seats possible just because you can all right. Let's go Always crazy when people look at you when people you know are at sub-sign, and then they just decide that they don't see you You know I'm wearing all of this So like I said prior markets secondary markets So you got your ticketmaster or wherever your box office is located and whoever Distribution that where they use or you know secondary markets That's like sub hub seat geek vibrancy, you know stick pick all those different now We got to cross this very dangerous section because all the safety all of this Cannot get me over that And Also just missed it, but I had a mini Why though get some ice bam, but I was going slow enough only had two people watching me So you know good deal See that is why you don't go on ice. Let's get inside. I'm cold Much warmer much better. Let's continue So like I was saying best part of buying tickets for last minute events is buying the actual tickets themselves because this is where all the Magic and all the fun actually starts to happen. So first off What do you want to do make sure you check out the box office pricing and that is where we'll set our standard? Let's take a quick look here in the map I'm gonna take a look at the middle seats here not a whole lot of valor right now within my you know filters that I've set So again, so that's kind of our starting point. You'll see the face values about 50 bucks with these all in Canadian so if I jump over to stub hub same thing will do the same kind of search again And you can see that there's quite a few options. You look at this 36 bucks for some, you know Middle of middle or 200 levels club seats. So that's not bad at all. Look at this blast seat 6750 there are definitely some really good options there right now if I'm saying the upper bowl though I don't want to be spending any more than you know $35 max and I want it to be you know center section first five rows that kind of It's important that we kind of set our expectations of what we want to spend So if I take a look at these glass seats, for example, you know, it says there's 6750 But then with all the fees and everything see comes out to about $200 us so if you're going to a Canadian venue on convert your Canadian to US dollars What I have to do is just take you the total US dollar amount multiply it by the FX rate that's you know set by Bank of Canada add a couple percent on top because your credit card may charge a Bit more and that would be your estimated Canadian equivalent. So $199 13 1.36 about $270 all in Canadian divide that by two you're paying $135 a ticket. It's That's usually high actually. So $199 13 1.36 divided by two again much further out of my price range And also when you take a look at it it was showing up a 6750 on stuff hub in the US dollars That is include the fees and include the tax and all the other things that they got going on there So it's really important that you get the all-in price when you're actually kind of comparing these tickets And especially if you're looking at like Canadian events and Canadian and US dollars Very very important that we actually make sure we have the right dollar value when we're doing comparisons You know, so we're apples apples are whatever fruit or vegetable you choose Potato potato. Anyway, I'm not going to buy any tickets right now I think our prime window is going to be somewhere in that, you know, 12 to 4 hour window that range there You might see some crazy things happening in the last four hours last two hours last one hour potentially We're going to keep a good eye on this and make sure that we're getting the best deal possible Last thing to mention when you're going to buy these tickets, there are a few other options that do exist This would include things such as like Kajiji craigslist Facebook and then just you know the run of the mill ticket broker ticket scalper who's at the actual event So you can always have all these different options available to you if you're trying to buy tickets the last minute Even if you're not buying last minute again all these options do exist for you now the rest of this evening ahead I don't think I'm gonna be doing any more work on this We're gonna check in every couple of hours see what the ticket prices are going for see if they're going up or down as Time moves, but at this point, I think it's time to have a little bit of fun head downtown Go for some skating and just have an overall great night. See you in a few hours Hey guys, so it's the next day and I'm still looking it's about where the 12 o'clock right now So about five ish hours just for the game's about to start Still nothing in the price point that I'm really looking for things are still, you know, 30 plus us dollars Turn you know center sections and they're not even you know fifth lowest rows or anything So we're still gonna hold off. We're still gonna keep waiting keep checking back We'll have an update for you pretty soon. Don't worry about it. What could possibly go wrong From now we're about three hours for the game still nothing in the price point that I want Being patient sucks, but it's gonna work out because I said so why would I be wrong? 15 minutes later and looks like things are already starting to get better I'm starting to find lots of seats lots of great stuff most are like the 40 us before fees range So really when it comes to like converted Canadian dollars It's like $80 90 for and they're all like lower level seats, which is good But relic on like the lower lower end seats. I'm starting to see the price is coming down $18 20 these are gonna start dropping very precipitously very very soon We're gonna make our final purchase hopefully in the next hour Maybe not that's what's happening with the prices, but I'm definitely seeing things going in the right trajectory. So stay tuned waiting And so I would say the biggest thing with this with buying tickets last minute is that people start to get antsy You know they get worried. They're not sure they're gonna take it They don't know what price they want to get this month They want to make sure that they're gonna get into the event itself So that kind of leaves you think you know This is not really the best idea because it's like you just want to make sure it's all done and taken care of But don't worry. I got it. Got it guys. It'll be okay. Trust me. Do you have no great value tickets yet? No You have until four o'clock. It is currently 250 bucks. I mean we have lots of time. I wouldn't worry about it Okay, nothing. What could possibly go wrong? All right, 315 still no tickets tickets keep coming up But they're like just not priced right and I don't want to pay that much Problem running into is it's a weekend game. It's Christmas time. It's mid-afternoon or late afternoon. I guess Evening so kids are still gonna be able to do this game. So there's a lot of lot more demand for it than one would have hoped for but I'm still holding out still. We got this. It's okay. It'll be okay. Trust me You're the feeling that like foreboding feeling where it's like Things are going bad and it gets worse. There's nothing you really do about it. Well, that's kind of what it feels like right now We're about 50 minutes away from pop drop and still no tickets things are not Doing what I am expecting them to do but fear not Still holding on hope. We're still gonna get ourselves some great seats. I'm not too concerned yet, but Just maybe a twinge of fear, but nah, we got this. We got this. Don't worry. Don't worry. Again What's the worst that could happen? All right, it is 421 puck drop in 39 minutes still no tickets, but we're gonna head over there anyway because we need to get there in time So we can actually know at the end Still nothing to worry about trust me. How confident are you that this is gonna work out? I want to give it at least 25 minutes game time so much time though. We just got to the entire center. It is 445 p.m. Game starts in 15 minutes. We still have no tickets, but like I said, this is the last minute I'm gonna take it video. So we're gonna buy tickets last, you know 459. That's a great win onwards Are you ready? So team up 455 p.m. We got ourselves some seats in section 204 broke a total cost 77 us bucks comes to about 51 per person Canadian not too shabby at all About 36% savings and all this by buying last last last Minute enough time to walk through the gate just to miss the puck drop. Oh my are we dying? Oh I almost killed us I don't understand what that was So a couple things I want to mention, you know last kind of follow-up items when actually buying tickets even buying the last minute or any Time for events depends on the type of Delivery method that's being used that will really also impact whether you can get tickets last minute So with NHL teams in general with the Sands they use mobile ticketing So a lot of times they aren't delivered instantly Reason behind that is because they actually have to go and you know go through the whole mobile transfer process Some people will put screenshots, but they're slowly phasing those out what that means is that if there's no instant delivery The actual ability to list tickets to the last second isn't always there So some websites like tick-pick they actually stop selling tickets one hour before the event so used to cut it off at two hours from mobile delivery, but Recently they've kind of worked in a new beta program where they're extending it to about you know Half an hour an hour after the puck game actually starts So that's something that has to be mine There are people here. Look at this. Look at that. We're only one minute late No, oh, yeah, let's do it So other things you have to consider is that if it's a hard ticket event Then the listings will actually go away in the last, you know three to four days before the event actually takes place reason behind that is that they can't actually Deliver them because they're in your hand at send them through ups or whatever So you won't actually see them and then it's the download obviously those can go until the actual event Starts so those will always be listed, but again, it really depends on the type of listings that do exist So keep that in mind whenever you are by some last-minute seats Dima all in all. How was your experience? Good seats. Yes, it's true. We definitely had some good seats However, there are definitely a few lessons we learned from today's experience number one, yeah Don't drop your phone obviously number one Yeah, what is the number one thing that we learned from today think about it They don't come on a long weekend or a holiday weekend It's true. Don't come when it's gonna be a very in-demand game if you're gonna wait last minute There will not be many options left for you This is actually the exact same thing that happened to us when we went to Phoenix to watch basketball there Same thing the same idea Sunday game. It's not a long weekend because it's Memorial Day or Veterans Day out there so Don't do that. That's just kind of it's a recipe towards disaster for you to get tickets that are gonna be not as cheap as you're expecting And you know the second thing that we learned is that when there are tickets that you have done all the work for so in the sense That you did the planning, you know who you're going with You know how much you want to spend and then you see the tickets to be you know exactly where you want them to be and Even though it's not the last last second just go buy them because that's kind of what happened here I had some options even 24 hours before the event was gonna go on and I said no They don't go cheaper still found some good seats. There are slightly more expensive than we were looking at but end of the day We still were able to get in I mean we still saved what like 30 somebody percent on ticket prices But we could have been a lot better. So yeah, if you see it at the right price, just get it Just do it Don't think you're gonna get a better deal. Yeah, it's true It's very true because we were very close to not getting not getting into this game So end of the day it all worked out in the end like I said nothing to worry about we still got in still saved a lot of money still got some great seats, but The whole experience could have been resolved 24 hours in advance because there were so many other options available to us at Right price points right locations, but I just said no The most important thing here is that it's okay to buy tickets not the last last bit when I say last minute I don't mean, you know literally the last One you have no all those minutes. They're all equal. They're all the same. They all work I swear like she said do what I say not what I do Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed this video be sure to subscribe you have already lots of great content coming up Definitely me a lot of comments below I want to hear about all your last minute ticket buying experiences good and bad I have had my fair share of all of them.
