Here are the average ticket prices, arranged from high-to-low

There’s something screwy going on with those numbers.
Ottawa has nearly quadrupled their ticket prices? Detroit’s gone from the lowest ticket price in the league to 8th highest with a five fold increase? The Hurricanes have decreased prices by 63% and the Coyotoes by 68%??
The most expensive tickets are more than 9 times as expensive as the cheapest.

There are some oddities. I know that I have tickets to Ottawa’s opener, with a list price of $52, and after taxes they’re still around $60-65. But I’m happy to know that Melnyk is treating us the best among Canadian NHL teams.

The numbers are based on Razor Gator’s figures, and they are a secondary market seller. These are not the face value prices.

An average of $308 a ticket? That’s an outrage. If I were a Canucks fan, I would find that very hard to swallow.
