I genuinely can't make sens of the comments so feel free to correct me if there something I don't get but Prices seems extremely high in Edmonton right now.

FYI, $440 Canadian is $322 USD

The price I put was after conversion to cdn.
I can get a bad tickets in Dallas for 155 cdn for game 5. The lowest is 280 in edmonton right now.

I don't really care who what. Both franchise are healthy in revenues.

But the comment seem so full of shit it had to be called out.

Honestly, good. The team is absolutely gouging people this season for playoff tickets. Face value is close to double or even triple what they were 2 seasons ago.

Scalpers are also mass buying expecting the prices to be even higher but no one is biting and at this point they're just trying to make some kind of money back.

I'm cool with it

I don’t know about you but all I am getting is 440-1300$ lower bowl tickets on a Monday.

While I can get 300-900$ in Dallas on a
Edited* Friday.
$400 for lower bowl is cheap, and cheapest I see in Dallas is $430… USD each.

I wasn’t even trying to compare to Dallas, more so to other Canadian markets.

Canucks tickets for example were already way more last round.

Don’t think it’s 2-3x more than two seasons ago tbh.

250 tonight Canadian in Edmonton, $250 CDN (converted) on Friday in Dallas.

That’s *3rd biggest market in Canada Edmonton Oilers..

*So I was told by most Oiler fans on here this year.

Face value absolutely is. I paid $300 for a pair of upper bowls against Colorado in 2022. For comparison, those same seats are over $300 a ticket this time around.
You’re a STH or no? You talking about TM prices or?

2 seasons ago I was a STH but did not opt into playoff tickets so every pair I purchased was one of those last minute releases at face value.

The resale prices of those tickets after market was usually around 250-300 a ticket. Face value is now at least that, but usually more.

The Oil have essentially killed the resale market and are pocketing the cash instead. Scalpers who used to mass purchase and sell at higher prices are the ones really feeling it. The problem is, they're alienating a lot of STH by doing this as they always sell "playoff ticket availability" as the largest perk. Well now they're so overpriced anyone can walk up and purchase them

It's a whole discussion on our board :laugh:


Anyway go Oilers

Fair enough.

Vancouver and Toronto are on theirs on economic bubble within Canada. I don't think it right to compare with either of them.

Sitting McLeod was about an easy decision for Knoblaugh that he could have.

Telling McDavid to shoot the phucking pluck would be much harder. I hope he has the cajonies to do it.

McDavid's "unselfish" passing is becoming very selfish.

I heard a crazy stat the other day. Barclay friggin Goodrow has twice the goals of McDavid in these playoffs.

Just went back and looked, you’re right my seats are a little under 2x what they were two seasons ago for round 3.

Paying $253 per seat vs $128 I think it was.

I expect the Stars to have at least 4 penalties called against them after that Knob cried in the presser.

Though if the standard from the regular season is actually followed, the Oilers should have at least 6 or 7 against them.
Seeing as Dallas was one of the least penalized teams, i expect 1-2 calls go against them and Oiler fans will still complain

They say everything is bigger in Texas, so as Canadas team. Make this one count!
