Just heard on one of the Canadian sports shows that the @NHL is concerned by slow ticket sales for the 4 Nations Faceoff. Didn’t take me long to figure out why. Anyone who thinks 225 bucks for back row in the corner is a reasonable price point is a deeply unserious person. #NHL pic.twitter.com/d1m8GpLhmV

The prices above were on the Ticketmaster site, and wait until you see the price for the match on February 15, featuring Canada and the United States.
The price for a single ticket is more than $500…
$225 for Canada v Sweden was a bargain compared to Canada v US. $515 per, wow! That’s just pure hubris. For a father and kid, plus parking and 2 popcorn and 2 pop, you’re looking at a paycheque for the avg Canadian. This isn’t growing the game, it’s ripping off your fans. #NHL https://t.co/AoqEj90FPM pic.twitter.com/Avo92gnWEj

Even though I expected them to sell like hotcakes, looking at how much a pair of tickets would cost, with a little snack and parking, it’s getting expensive.
In Brief
