Today, the NHL announced the pricing for tickets to the NHL All-Star weekend, which will be in Raleigh on January 28-30. $260 gets a lower level seat for the skills competition (Saturday January 29) AND the All-Star game (Sunday January 30). Upper level packages are $200. This price is set by the league, not the Hurricanes. Tickets for only the ASG will be $180 downstairs and $135 upstairs. This price point is pretty much in line with how they have been in the past, and seems reasonable to this fan.
The announcement was made today, and after the league sets aside its bounty of tickets, the season ticket holders will have the option to purchase. Full season ticket holders are guaranteed the option to buy the whole package, while mini-plan holders like myself are pretty much being told that they’ll have the option for one or the other, but not both events. If any tickets remain after all options have been exercised or forfeited, they will be made available to the public.
When ASG merchandise becomes available, the Hurricanes will reap benefits of those sales up until one month before the game. After Christmas, the League gets 100% of ASG merch sales.

Gloom, despair and agony on us

The NHL announced its 2010-11 season schedule, and as promised, there’s a lot of belly-aching. Vis-a-vis the schedule, Canes fans will be proclaiming that if it weren’t for bad luck, they’d have no luck at all.
Due to the Finland trip and the annual road trip caused by the North Carolina State Fair, the Hurricanes won’t play a real home game until October 27 against the Washington Capitals. By then, Puck Daddy Greg Wyshynski, jokes, the Capitals will “probably have a double-digit lead in the division”.
More woeful moaning after the jump.
