How much they charge for a Jack and coke?

If you have to ask ..

I guess I'm asking how?

Vegas ticket prices are about 1/3 of a Canadian teams even after taking into account exchange rates. Okay this was just a quick ticket master lookup so definitely could be out to lunch there. But I've always been told this is a gate driven league and Vegas sales no more tickets then most other Canadian markets.

I can't see Vegas having a bigger regional t.v market and contract. To be honest I doubt it even sniffs most Canadian teams in regional viewership. Perhaps this is why the regional partner I've heard is going under.

Oh one thing I think it must be is playoff revenue. Was Vegas that high when they missed the other year?
I can't see that site as it wants a login.

I'll state it's not a competition and I don't really care which team makes more money. I'm just trying to understand how these franchises have such cheap tickets and high revenue.

Not sure what you are looking at, but Vegas has the highest gate receipts in the League. https://www.statista.com/statistics/764241/nhl-gate-receipts-ticketing-revenue-by-team/

I have a hard time understanding 2 things.

1. Why Fans pay. I love my hockey team but f*** I think the prices are just insane at an Oilers game. I just can't justify going.
2. How the f*** do most American teams make money when everything is roughly half the price of the equivalent Canadian team even after taking into account exchange rates.

Utah tickets are almost half the price of Oiler tickets.
Vegas tickets are almost a third of the price of Oiler tickets.

The T.V numbers aren't even in the same ballpark.

Yet Vegas spends to the cap and more.

Is it just those owners are losing money and don't mind? which is fine it's their money.

I think in some cases it depends on whether or not the owner owns the rink as well

Beer is the best value at a hockey game regardless of prices. It fills you up, quenches your thirst, and gets you where you wanna be.
