Continuing my ticket analysis (need some busy time today before the game).
Edit: 3PM update-- around 60 direct seats left with resales also less than 100...hopefully all Canes fans purchased.
Edit 7pm: only 7 resales left. Wow no Rags in our section.
To get a full sell out, most of the teams probably need to tweak their pricing down slightly except for the Oilers which probably need to take theirs down a lot. Of course, they model these events to see what delivers the overall highest average price taking account ancillary revenues tied to parking, food and places such as the "eye" which add to the overall take.
For Canes game tonight, available tickets are now down to less than 1,000. Canes still need to sell 131 non-SRO and 29 SRO seats to hit full sellout. Pricing has come down a bit on re-sales but still holding strong with sellers holding out (they will need to drop pretty soon particularly, folks at $600 and above (a bunch still over $1,000 with a couple still at $2,500)).
I was disappointed until I saw the profiles of the other series. All have more "direct" tickets to sell (in blue) than the Canes.
Avs (WOW), as they have multiple thousands to sell directly (blue) let alone resales. Their pricing is also less than the Canes.
Boston is also very numerous and pricing essentially equivalent to the Canes (surprising).
Canucks & Oilers also have a significant number to sell (particularly Oilers) but their pricing (albeit Cnd $) is 2-3X Canes
