Corsi is GROSSLY overrated
This package deal is actually quite enticing. 5 premier games at only $360 a ticket for the mezzanine section. The $72 a game is worth it for the non season ticket holder because they will probably spend way more than $72 for the Elias game and ranger gm for a mezzanine seat. These kind of packages are exactly what they should be pushing and you said it yourself, "smart from a business perspective." It is.
Also you act like "sitting through 4 other games" is a chore. These are good games.
You've drank the cool-aid. He's right. They may as well call it the "Extortion package" - did the same thing last year, though for Marty the demand was much higher. If Elias tickets stay stratospheric, you may end up being right, but keep in mind not everyone wishes to play armchair ticket scalper on Stubhub.
Also, not everyone wants to attend Rangers games. I, for one, have been to enough of those **** shows to last a lifetime, and when I was a STH eventually grew disgusted with fist-fights in the stands, the 20 meter beer tossing events, cursing in front of 6 year old children, etc....., and used to sell mine off.
Lastly, and most brutally, I would challenge whether the Devils in their current form will be playing many "good games" at all next year; this is not a playoff team.
