A part of me really, but really wants to see the English name of that initiative.

Didn’t know someone made a thread when I posted about this in the GDT.

Gouging Geoff at it again!

...That's a bit boring :|

Adding more fuel to the curse.

 

[Koivu11]

Geoff is really money hungry isn’t he?

 

[Rapala]

Disgusting.

The last couple of seasons I've noticed just how many more kids and families are able to attend games because of gifted tickets. I talked about how refreshing it was to see a family of four being able to do that. I guess someone else took note.

 

[Habs13]

It's become so hard to be a fan of this team

 

[Koivu11]

They are getting a lot of backlash for this and rightfully so.

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

Habs out there pimping Youppi for easy revenue

 

[Habs]

More disgusting corporate shenanigans , pathetic. Does little Goeffy need to max out his rrsp?

 

[Kaiden Ghoul]

Just give him skate damn it, he cant be wrost than Armia

Geoff probably reads this board. People will know who to blame now when these ideas start to happen.

Love how they specify thay its a "brief" visit from Youppi, so you dont get your hopes up.

Comes with a happy bday cardboard and $75 worth of... Youppi merch? I dont remember ever wanting Youppi merch even as a kod... no offense to Youppi

I get it... pay to be 100% sure to see Youppi, but thats so extremely expensive - again no offense to the furball, but is the mascot that important?

Meet and greets events with players are gonna cost in the $1000s at that rate.

Id love to see that play out. What happens if you cant pay for your urinal? Pee on the floor?

"THIS OFFER INCLUDES

A brief yet special visit from Youppi! to your seat at a Canadiens game, personalized for one (1) fan, plus one (1) bag of Youppi! themed goodies valued at over $75. Youppi! will arrive armed with confetti and a personalized sign for your occasion, so look forward to a whirlwind experience - and photo opportunity - to remember."

Absolute garbage. I knew Youppi back when he was shooting up and getting thrown out of ballgames. He'd shine your shoes for 5$. This impersonator isn't worth jack.

 

[Koivu11]

They have now added “All profits benefit the Montreal Canadiens Children's Foundation.” to the website following the backlash.

It said nothing about this yesterday.

 

[The Great Weal]

That's so awful

 

[waffledave]

I swear this is the most money hungry franchise in the NHL. They will slap the logo on f***ing everything and find any way possible to monetize this brand. I feel like we have to be the only team in the NHL that actually built team-branded condo towers around the arena. I thought that was as low as it could get but I guess not.
