I hate sob stories like that. The old dude could have bought a ticket to the U of A game for $30 and saved himself a drive. He could also go on stubhub or ticket exchange right now and get preseason tickets for under $20. Instead he spent hours of his life driving to Penticton, paid for gas/hotel/food/tickets or he could use that money to buy one of the thousands of regular season tickets that are available right now.
Yeah, it's a silly argument. person can afford going all the way out to Penticton but not afford 30bucks to go to the bears game or exhibition games? I don't get it. people go to Penticton because they like the combination of a holiday and seeing some hockey. Mostly for the holiday. Did the Okanagon dry up as well. Did ogopogo not show up either..
