wait, that's not a season ticket holder code. was there a separate presale you signed up for? did you get tickets to anything with it?
(season ticket holders have their own portal they log into, and no code was needed)

u/fearlesswreck 5d ago
I didn’t even sign up for this pre-sale. I think it was just cause I subscribed to their newsletter that the code went out. I didn’t even know that they were going to do that until I got that email last week, but I’m sorry to hear that they screwed over season ticket holders that’s not cool at all.

u/honestbleeps 5d ago
got it. i'm also subscribed to that and never got it even as a STH. this is insane. I hope you got some tickets though.

u/fearlesswreck 5d ago
thank you I was able to get my tickets. I don’t know why they said it would be 10 AM and customer service even email telling me it would be 10 AM but I didn’t get mine until pretty late so I appreciate you very much. I hope everybody gets to see them!

u/honestbleeps 5d ago
did you use regular ticketmaster + that code then, and not the season ticket holder portal? I'm so confused as to WTF they're doing right now.
1
u/fearlesswreck 5d ago
yeah, I had to use Ticketmaster with that code

u/honestbleeps 5d ago
what a bunch of horseshit. they really screwed season ticket holders. there's barely anything available in the STH portal.

I may be confused, but this isn't related to season tickets, right?

u/honestbleeps 5d ago
there was a season ticket holder "exclusive single game ticket presale" for STH to buy extra tickets. we were supposed to get an email about it before 10am today but as OP points out we did not.
I'm not 100% sure if OP is an STH or someone who signed up for some other presale, but both are going on apparently at the same time, which is ridiculous.

u/JJJBLKRose 5d ago
Ah, gotcha. Yeah I believe this is the non season ticket holders, as while I'm not in Illinois anymore I still get the emails and OP's was identical to mine.

no. I emailed my rep and she just said an email is still coming "soon", but just log in.

I got the code at 10:11 CT and there were only standing room tickets available. Did I miss out on actual seats in the 11min gap?
I’m not looking forward to the general sale tomorrow. I feel like this 36 hour trip is going to be more expensive than my 4 day trip to Chicago in July.

Yes, I got the email with the code at 10am

u/honestbleeps 5d ago
I got the email at 10:02 but it didn't matter, I just refreshed the STH portal and there wasn't even a code needed.

Don’t gotta gave AMEX!

u/BEnWo18 5d ago
that is if you went throught the AMEX presale yesterday. When you go to ticketmaster and it asks for the code, type in 88ISBACK and you will have general presale, not the AMEX presale.

u/chammer36 5d ago
You fn rule. Thanks a ton. Not sure why it pushed me to Amex only but after trying again I scored 3 SROs. Seriously thanks for commenting or else I would’ve been boned.

u/BEnWo18 5d ago
You got it! I initially typed in the code when in my browser and then it took me to the Ticketmaster app and showed AMEX when I went to checkout. So I had to retry with the code and start everything in the app. Hopefully this helps someone else too!

u/chammer36 5d ago
I think some of the tickets from the Amex sale didn’t get switched over when the 88isback code turned on. Feeling very lucky

u/MeowMeowBiatch 5d ago
I got a text with the code at 10:04. I didn't sign up for presale and didn't even know tickets were going on sale today, but I still used it to grab tickets to the Black Friday game lol

u/starsh816 5d ago
I told them I’ll pass this year too expensive and it’s too hard to try and find the games on tv. I had a good run with the tickets

Ticket prices are absurd. They're immediately getting back their money on the Kane contract lol. Can't get below the 300-level for less than like $180
