Korbyn Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 And for hockey? Egh... I don't know. If tickets are really going to run around $250 then I think I'm gonna have to skip this.Just when the NHL has something good going for it they put tickets up that high so the average fan can't go.Thanks Gary.

The average fan is already priced out in most big markets.

jonas1111 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 The NHL's average fan makes more than 75,000 a year.We aren't the average fan. People need to realize that when they see ticket prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to realize that when they see ticket prices.Where did you get that stat?Is that the average fan or average season ticket holder?-DanIt's an impossible to define stat, and even if it wasn't, it's a totally meaningless stat.75k in New York, L.A., San Jose, Washington, Phila., Boston, etc. is not nearly the same as 75k in Pittsburgh, Buffalo, etc. Salaries and cost of living vary so much by local that a blanket stat like that means absolutely nothing.

ColeJ Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 plus, dallas is a large market with a profitable franchise... and i make well under 40 a year, and go to several stars games every season.then again, i don't sit on the glass or pay $250 a seat, either.

BBTV Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 That's surprising - I would have thought that Dallas was in the category of the pricey hockey cities. It's been a while since I looked at cost of living converters, real estate factors, etc. for different locals, so it's hard to say if your account is a reflection of the market, or simply the franchise not gouging people.

I have a feeling (just a feeling, not based on any kind of actual stats) that this is the kind of event that everyone says that they won't miss, and then once it gets closer to actually making the call to traveling there for New Years, people will be all "well, I wanted to go, but...", and the price of tickets on Stub Hub will start to fall, and most of the people who end up actually traveling there to go will be people who decided close to the last minute.

I had the hotel room booked two or three weeks before the announcement but am now waiting to see what the ticket market looks like. I'll likely head up to take it all in anyway, but it would be great if supply and demand drove prices down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
