It’s a wild ride! Tonight, the Canadiens begin their first-round series against the Washington Capitals.

Excitement is running high around town. There’s a big buzz around the CH right now, and that’s perfect: it’s been a long time, after all, since we’ve experienced playoff fever in Montreal.

And that’s good.

The CH will be playing the first game of their series in Washington, and ticket prices for the game aren’t super-expensive.

On the TicketMaster website, tickets are priced at $70-80 US.

Of course, these tickets are installed at the top of the amphitheatre, but still: at that price, to attend a playoff game… it’s not much.

It’s not huge, because in Montreal, prices for the first playoff game at the Bell Centre are aberrant.

Want to see the CH vs Capitals game at the Bell Centre on Friday?

You’d better get your pennies out… because on TicketMaster, the cheapest ticket right now – at the top of the Bell Centre – comes in at an individual price of $453.75 :

The difference is still quite noticeable.

Ticket prices in Montreal are very expensive indeed… but that’s supply and demand too.

Because we know that the Bell Centre is going to be full in spite of everything.

Playoff tickets are going like hotcakes because there’s a lot of interest in the Habs in Quebec right now.

That said, it also shows that things are done differently in Montreal – for better or for worse.

Fans are passionate, and they’re also hungry right now: it’s been a while since we’ve seen the Habs play major games, and fans want to be there to witness it all.

And let’s not forget that Ivan Demidov’s arrival contributes to this madness too. Fans will want to be there to see him face Alex Ovechkin in the playoffs…


In gusto

– He’s so underrated.

– 5-3 CH.

– Bon.
