Resale prices look to be coming down. I’m seeing pairs as low $159+tax per through TM.

Don’t tell @Borsig …

Oh well. I'm happy to be going. Won't be the only thing I've overspent on this week.

Actually the 169 ones are like 435 with fees. The ones I got are absolutely worth 32.50 more each, plus andy got to get some of his quid (that's what they call it in the UK, right?) back without ticketmaster getting anything from either of us. I'd call that a win.

Now if the center sections start selling for 150, that might pinch a little.

I'm having a hard time watching the images of the setup come through this week, I think those seats will end up being awesome.

You're absolutely right though, if you add taxes & fees to TM tickets, you can add like 30% to the price. As I look at it now - you can get standing room for your $500 a pair. Every other seat is more expensive all in.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I thought I saw on Twitter that they changed the policy and now allow seat backs to be brought in. Anyone else see that?

 

[CandyCanes]

Well good to know I can make a concession run during intermission and not have to worry about missing something good.

That's an easy one, he's the signal to go to the rest room.

Ovi will miss the game due to a family emergency

Hope all is well but I'm not broken up that the leagues plan to showcase this as a Ovi Special has blown up at the last minute

Never seen him play live so this really sucks for me.

Not great for viewership for the game itself either as like it or not he’s the #1 draw by a mile.

NHL being dogshit at marketing their top teams also plays a major part in the viewership issue.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Yeah, not having Ovi for this game is not a positive in terms of viewership and entertainment value. He's the biggest star and most universally recognized player on both teams.

 

[HisIceness]

I don't know who that is.

Hes an, okay Country music star I guess, this song is alright.

I hate this so much

Country music makes my ears bleed. We never play this shit in the arena and now that the league is hosting a game here they break out the stereotypes and shove ry music down our throats. We aren't Nashville. Our goal song is rap, this makes no sense. The guy doesn't even have any real ties to the area except being generic white boy country star so us southern fans must love him.

$100 says there's a NASCAR reference within the first 5 mins of the broadcast.

 

[Borsig]

Im hillbilly as f*** and I hate country

 

[Cole World]

Would’ve so much more preferred Luke Combs or Eric Church, both born and bred Carolina boys whose backing bands can legitimately play.

Not a big deal though, it’s intermission and I’m looking forward to walking around and eating Pit BBQ sandwiches and paying too much for beer

They should also build a race track around the rink and invite NASCAR. Have Billy Ray Cyrus sing Achy Breaky Heart in place of the national anthem.

Can you imagine the rage?

I maintain what I said 3 years ago — they should have held this game in Charlotte, in the infield of the speedway, during a live NASCAR race.

Maximize the opportunity for logistical and cultural chaos on all levels.

Does NASCAR have a Zamboni series?

 

[HisIceness]

What we should have done was gotten J Cole (Fayetteville native) and his Dreamville pals to perform. Of course everyone on the main board would still whine about it (rabble rabble no big names perform NHL shows).

 

[Borsig]

So I'm. Bringing my grill and stuff for Saturday. Who else doing so

It’s just my son and I, so we haven’t decided if we are bringing anything or just eating vendor food.
