I followed the appolorealtime.org site. There are lots of slow periods but it is cool to hear the chatter from various sources, Mission Control, the astronauts etc. CNN ran the Apollo 11 movie I think.
And this is why I sit at home and watch the games now. By the time I buy two tickets, plus parking, plus because of the distance we drive dinner as well. Just can't justify it.
Well, I just got around to looking at non STH prices for Preds tix. Yikes. Observations:
I could find no differentiation between a ticket for a weekend, first night, random weekday night in October for my particular seats and few if any for other sections. I looked at some of the sections I used to sit plus the seats I sit in now. This does NOT include fees, which was $3/ticket last year.
For 315 -- $114.
For 329 -- $74 - 84.
For 104 -- $194 - $204
For 219 -- $174
I could see that being an opening night price or the Saturday price, but a Tuesday night in October with no special giveaway? That's crazy. I'm sure they're moving tickets to resellers for much less so I would avoid the box office til I checked other sites.
As a reference point, I pay approximately $100 less for a FST in 219. The other sections were too long ago to be valid comparisons.
That said, my price for parking was the same, so that was nice.
When I was there in 2016, our seats in 204 were $75 each IIRC. Section 219 is similar, just across the end. It was the Tuesday after Easter vs Colorado.
It is hard to believe that prices went up that much in three years!
Yeah but this is also the reason you've started to see the comments about the place not being the same. The price of admission has changed the fan base, much fewer of us rowdy cheapos.You DO realize that is the price for the team staying. We loved the days when it was cheap but now the team is telling the city, 'Don't worry about the arena and money.' we got this! The team is building rinks. You can't have your cake and eat it too

Not me, I'm just as rabid a fan as I always was, I just can't afford to be there anymore, and I'm not the only one. It's more corporate suits and rich people now, which is a different group than the old rowdy college fan days the arena had. Even the last couple of times I went I kept waiting for things to get going and it just wasn't there.The team or you?

We, folks, you almost lost me. I had a nasty little health scare and am recuperating at St. Thomas Midtown. Colitis was the diagnosis and for you medical types I came in with a white count of over 22,000. Had I not been living in 2019, I'd have probably been a goner. I'm feeling pretty good. Doc days I'll probably be released tomorrow.
