from John D. Stoll of the Wall Street Journal,
For the second round of the playoffs, Mr. Catallo’s family’s six seats were priced at $215 apiece, up from the regular season price of $85. The total cost for one second-round game: $1,290, not including parking, beer or hot dogs.
“For that price, I could buy a big, flat-screen TV, some popcorn and watch the game at home,” the 40-year old restaurateur and advertising executive said. “By the middle of the third period, the TV would pay for itself.”
For the cost of just two playoff games, he adds, “I could take my wife and kids to Disney World.”
$215 for seats 3 rows off the ice is close to REGULAR season prices in Ottawa.....seriously considering the 8 hour trek to the Joe for a game in the finals....
