from František Bouc of the Prague Post,
Twenty-seven hours. This was all it took in late April to sell out more than 10,000 tickets reserved for Czech fans for the NHL Premiere games between the New York Rangers and the Tampa Bay Lightning to be played Saturday, Oct. 4, and Sunday, Oct. 5, at Prague’s O2 Arena. Tickets disappeared quite fast despite the fact the game’s organizers had not announced the date of the sale in advance.
“We would have been able to sell at least double the amount of the tickets [had the sales date been announced],” said Vladimír Šafařík, chief event organizer.

Kukla’s Korner is always a free service for readers, but it costs some money to maintain. If you’re ever in a position to donate a few dollars to help out, we’d be very appreciative.
27 hours to sell 10,000 tickets? I wonder if the Sens vs. Frolunda game was announced in the same way; it supposedly filled the 12,044 seat Scandinavium in just 10 minutes.
I also wonder why there hasn’t been word of any exciting way for fans in North America to watch the Sens and Pens games. Special setup in the beer garden in Queens for the Rangers and Lightning games sounds like a very nice gesture to the fans.
