Home opener, intimate setting but $229 is the cheapest face value ticket. Tough sell for a lot of people. Especially on a weeknight. Opening night is a bonus as puck drop will be delayed with opening night hoopla. Almost tempted just to say I went to a game (while also suspecting I will be perpetually priced out of the one game I want to see most for next few years) but I think of how many tickets $229 bought in precious years.
When I was a season ticket holder in the upper bowl, $229 bought me more like 10 games.
Okay, okay, I'm a sucker. I told my STH rep once, and while the dollar value might be different now than it was then (not that it matters since I'm just speaking in hypotheticals as I don't live there anymore), in as many words: "Hey, look, I'll spend $1,000 on Coyotes tickets per season. I'd rather go to more games than fewer." Or something like that. If that were still true, and I were still single, I guess I'd be going to four games this year.
Now, I'm lucky if I can get my husband to unglue himself from Gainesville to make the cross-country trip (did I say cross-country? He acts like it, it's a 3-hour drive to Tampa, and it's not even about the money to him, he's just... okay, we're looking for a marriage counselor, I swear) to see the Coyotes the
one whole time they come to Amalie Arena. I had to go without him last season. Grrr...
