KISS Performing at the Stadium Series in LA

[KingKopitar11*]

So is this a hockey game or a concert?

Oingo Boingo

That would be my choice

I heard they're gonna bring in 1 Direction to appease the Duck fans in the crowd.

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

I think some of you are missing the point....KISS is playing for free. It's not costing the NHL anything to do this, they are already losing money on ticket sales. The sole purpose for bringing Kiss in, is because they have something to promote and will do it for free and it will in turn help boost ticket sales to this stupid event.

The Village People featuring George Michael and the glory holes!

That's nonsense. They are averaging $150 per ticket (probably more) and at 40,000 tickets we are talking a cool $6 million. (For one game!)

Where do you see they are losing money on ticket sales? References please.

One would think that the NHL gave the Doyers a huge chunk of change up front to hold the event there.

Yes.

Honestly, what's wrong with Jordan Sparks? I don't listen to her music but she's not awful. Five for Fighting isn't one of the members a huge Kings fan? So, that makes sense. And Kiss.. well.. is KISS. They are helping us more than the other way around.

I think all of us can admit most of the seats are horrible and the pricing is overpriced (closer to 200 dollars)

So, ticket prices are going to be very difficult to sell. I have no idea they made the tickets so expensive because they will just have to bring them down soon.

I still think having several musical acts is silly but I see why and how they're trying to make this a bigger 'event'. And let's be real, it pretty much doesn't matter WHO plays, someone will complain it's not their cup of tea

In regards to ticket sales, absolutely. I know tons of people who WANT to go (myself included) but don't presently have the disposable income to do so. I imagine as they drop you'll see the place fill up just fine.

someone will complain

This should be the HF motto

 

[Buddy The Elf]

There are 7,000 tickets on Stub Hub and Barry's Tickets with two weeks until the game and the game isn't sold out.

You thing the goal is to not sell out the event? They may not be losing money, but they certainly aren't doing what they expected if they are dropping ticket prices and attempting to lure casual fans in by adding music acts.

I meant as in having KISS play the event....the NHL is not paying KISS to do it.

If the game doesn't sell out it will never happen again in SoCal, it will be a huge black eye to the market. I think I would be more inclined to go if the Kings hadn't already won the Cup, it's just tough to justify sitting outside at bad angles for 3-4 times what I normally pay to watch a regular season game. I've also been offered to play hockey the following Tuesday night for a cool $500 worth of tickets to other random games.
