$85 each... add the standard $15-20 in processing fees... that's pushing $200 for a couple to go to a hockey game. Not counting parking, food, anything. Just walking through the door. To see the last-place team in the league play the 3-4-1 Florida Panthers, in a game where Vincent Trocheck is the top statistical player involved.
Is this supposed to be "lol" level low pricing?
Meanwhile, Montrealers can see Jay-Z or Lady Gaga in concert for about half that...

The ticket prices in the reds for Florida vs Montreal tonight
Regular price is $152 to $215 each....
When you see peope trying to sell them for 50% less,yes defiantly Lol
It's not the 50% reduced value that's "lol low", it's the face value which is "lol high".
Other than sheer scarcity of availability, can you explain what it is about attending a Montreal vs Florida hockey game in October that would be worth $430 just for tickets for you and your girlfriend to sit in the nosebleeds? I get it, there's magic in the building and all that. But seriously. $430 for nosebleeds to see the Panthers.
My point is Habs had a 10000+ 5years+ waiting list for season tickets. As long as that waiting list still exists, the team won't care. Because as soon as you let go off your seats, someone else in line will happily jump to take them.
As the ticket prices continue to rocket up, the waiting list gets smaller....IMHO
Over the last 5-7 years tickets have gone up a lot.Taken people off the list.
If the Habs do decide to go full scale Vancouver rebuild, well we already got season ticket holders this year in Montreal trying to sell tickets for 50% off the face value....Imagine 3-4 years of pain....lol
Vancouver had a 6000+ waiting.list years ago.....Look at them now...lol
Tryin to sell "mini" season ticket packages during the season with an empty rink.
A pair of White can be had now for 92USD (all fees in) on stub for the game today while the face value is 197CDN where tickets are still available
What are many tickets unsold though? A few hundred? Or more? I can tell you many NHL teams will claim a sellout despite a few hundred seats still available on the primary market on ticketmaster less than half an hour prior to face off. I think that's OK but once you get to 500 or more it's a little disengeneous to claim a sellout.
^^^ So, nosebleeds top corner section, whereas the sections next to it appear to be filled. Heck, I used to see that at Maple Leaf Gardens in the 80's. Minor blip on the radar.
