That’s insane! Round 2? I mean I’m happy to hear it because I’ll probably sell my tickets to R2 if we get there but still.
I'm 35, went to my first playoff game against Montreal when we had St. Louis, so almost 10 years ago. I think I paid (closer to last minute too but at least a couple weeks out or so) $400-500/ea and we were up in the 200s, weren't very close.
I guess for me, with dealing with inflation all around us in general, the league still feeling the repercussions of the pandemic, and the fact we are probably the best team we've maybe ever had going into playoffs... I don't know for something that brings me as much joy as New York Rangers hockey, it seems like a pretty decent deal. Everything else in the 100's (and some stuff low 200's) was at least $1100 a piece.
I'm hoping if we go on a run, third round tapers off. I'll be heading in as cheap as I can if they really skyrocket past there. I'd maybe skip the third round for hopes of a Finals, and then sneaking one more in. But yeah, hoping it tapers off a bit if round 3 happens.
