Eastern Conference Final: Pittsburgh vs. Ottawa

[newfcollins]

Still plenty of tickets available for tonight's game if you're in the area.

More than 2,000 as of yesterday.

Huge story here. All the media is playing it up big time, so they'll sell out.

I love looking at ticket prices and then reading the pleas to local fans for support.

It's really strange. Some are saying that with the Sens getting to the third round, there's been too many home games. Maybe they would have been happier if the Sens lost in the first round and had just three home games?

I went to a game in Montreal in the first round. Tickets for that game was still more expensive than many of the tickets remaining for the Sens.

I'm sure they will sell out because the media has been hyping it up and talking about how it looks bad on the city.

I really don't hold it against anyone that decides to pass on these games. That's a lot of cash.

$85 CAD for playoff tickets? That's not that expensive. And that's just on ticket master resale, I'm sure SeatGeek is cheaper.

$85 is very reasonable... average blue collar worker should be able to afford that if they're a true fan.

It's up to the person to choose just like any other form of entertainment.

Comparatively, I completely agree. But it's still an obscene amount of money to spend on a passive 3 hour experience.

Agree and Agree.

I just disagree with the sentiment of "that's a lot of cash".

It's $85usd I believe (closer to $120cdn) and they are in the upper level nose-bleed rows. I would pay that money no doubt if the Habs were in the conference finals but I can see how it's not accessible to everyone. The Bell Centre in Montreal is packed during most games but I'm pretty sure that at least 50% of the people physically attending do not pay for their tickets (workplace, family or friends season tickets, contests, ...)

I'm not so sure that the Sens have that type of ''power'' with the surrounding businesses and their fans.

$85? That's cheaper than a regular season game in Vancouver even when a bottom feeder comes to visit.

[rataylor22]

Literally the only defense the Senators have left for Crosby is jumping on his head and wrapping their arms around him.

#Playoffs though, good thing the refs "don't want to decide the game"

[newfcollins]

Pittsburgh had 23 shots that period. I've seen games where teams don't get that many in a game. They are all over the Sens.

[rataylor22]

The Penguins didn't lose because of reffing, but that was an all time ****ing embarrassing display of refereeing.

Woohoo
