from Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun,
As half-full arenas become the norm on too many nights, hurting teams are getting aggressive in novel (and cheap) ways to get peole in the seats.
The bargains are enough to make ticket buyers in Toronto sick.
A tour around some of the more challenged teams revealed the following offers:
- In Tampa, try the Holiday Pack where $96 US gets you a pair of tickets for three games of your choice, an autographed Victor Hedman hat and a $10 food and beverage voucher.
- In Columbus, the Guys Night Out promotion gives you two tickets, two beers and two cheese coney dogs for a mere $60.
- In Anaheim, for select games fans can get two tickets, a pair of hot dogs and wash them down with two beers all for $41.
- Even in Detroit, the self-professed Hockey Town of the U.S., the Wings are all but giving away tickets again this season.
