If it's true it's not surprising. I had an opportunity to buy 3 second round tickets for just over a thousand dollars. No thanks. I love the Jets, but I don't have 1200 kicking around for a single night out. For those that don't understand variable cost of living, think of that as 2000+ in Toronto or Vancouver. That's probably underestimating it by a decent amount too, plus there's a much smaller market of people to sell to on top of that. It is what it is. The Jets are profitable and safe from moving, so who gives a shit beyond that.

Wow, and people think Vegas doesn't deserve to be in the Conference Final. What happened to the long suffering Jets fans? They can't be found to buy tickets to the game...
Oh hey, a known Jets hater jumping in here to stir it up some more, what a shocker!

Not meant to be solely a shot at the Jets, but more a comment on so many self righteous fans claiming that other fanbases are more deserving than Vegas.
These playoffs have already cost me almost $4000, but I've got some of that back from the games I couldn't go to. And the fun part was, I also had a trip to pay off where the final payment was a week ago. It's been a crazy expensive month!

You're right. 18500 capacity vs 15000 capacity. A city that for the most part that supports the home team vs a city that fights for fans between 2 of the biggest NHL franchise in history.

Or if you have other priorities where that money needs to go first, such as kids, college education, retirement fund, etc....
If it were my business I would look at maximizing profits.
If I had the choice between selling one ticket for $10Million or 10,000 tickets at $100 each, I would sell 1 ticket and have the team play in an empty barn.
How much cheaper would the Jets have to have made all tickets just to sell the last 100?
That being said, usually the jets send out an email to their fanbase saying they have "limited tickets available" but I got nothing for this game, so I assumed there were no tickets.
Right now there is a set of 3 tickets available and 2 pairs for Sunday's game, so I'm not too worried.

The other irony here that Jet's fans need to warm up to is publicity.
You were complaining about not getting enough attention, well here you are...getting attention.
Oh...lol. You thought it was only gonna be good attention???
Oh silly you!

If Ottawa got destroyed forthat reason last year Winnipeg should be not immune.

Ottawa got bashed because there were a lot more tickets and they were noticeable.
There was hardly any open seats at any of the Jets games, and what were available, were almost all singles. Many of them also would have been technically sold as they came from visiting team holds.
This is a complete non-issue.
That's what it costs in Canada. What are you going to do? Try being a Leaf fan.
That's why people complain about the "Atmosphere" at the ACC. The real fans are in Leaf square.
Except you are being treated the same as any other organization in this situation (Please see Sens fans from 1 year ago). That ain't trolling.

I agree, it's probably "technically" a sellout but who really cares about that. The real issue should be why fans aren't clamoring for those seats that are included in blocks of sponsor/vendor allocated tickets? You don't usually see blocks of unused seats at any stage of playoffs --let alone the conference finals -- regardless of who has technically "bought" them.
