ollie Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Nice almost comeback by the Sens... at least Shannon is starting to come on strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Based on the empty seats one could assume this game was being played in Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I was at the game and there was far less than the announced 17000....Ryan Shannon standing besides Chris Pronger for a face-off...Priceless...Shannon is soooooooooooo tiny.

dave-O Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 What a clusterfuck of a game! So Kovalev now has 7 of his 11 goals in 2 games.The 100s were incredibly vacant when the game started, but they did fill up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I went on NYE. Scored nice 100's for $30 each. The place was a fucking dead zone.... Going to see The Sens here is a waste of time- honestly its more fun on TV.They announced that game at 16,800 but there is no way there were that many. All levels were half empty at best and top of the 300's might has well have been tarped off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Alfie's out and nobody goes to the games anymore??? Isn't Fisher pretty enough???Come on Ottawa ... seriously, don't let Gary move ya to Hamilton or Queebec. Looks like they need to discount the tickets even more to fill any of the seats. Give 'em away to school kids or something. (I really wish more pro franchises would do that.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I was talking with my Dad about this over the holidays, the Sens seemed to have priced themselves out of the market and they're screwing over/pissing off the folks who buy tickets early by offering last minute deals on tickets.I looked into buying tickets knowing that I'd be in the area and I was shocked how much ticket prices have climbed since I was a season ticket holder 5 years ago. Seats that used to cost me in the $30 range were over $100 for the Habs game on the 28th. Correct me if I'm wrong, but no one has replaced Nortel as a major employer in Ottawa in that time.My Dad hasn't bought a mini-plan in a couple years but still goes to 10 or so games a year. Twice in December he received last-minute email offers for cheaper tickets to games he had already purchased for. So obviously he won't be buying them in advance anymore.

Northern Wish Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 And thats from Capital Tickets- you should see the deals on Craigslist if you can wait till a day or two before game time.On NYE a friend hought standing room tix for $38 all fees in; and my $180 100 level cost me $30.The last minute deals do burn those who bought earlier, and as for giving away tickets YES YOU STUPID SENATORS MANAGEMENT FUCKS this would be a great idea. As I sat there on NYE checking out empty seats it occured to me that the worlds largest junior hockey tournament was in town (6500 competing kids!). They should have given one set of 4 to each team participating as a community goodwill measure. The seats would have been filled, the teams would have been happy to have one small thing for free and those die hard parents would get a small reward for all of their drives to rinks at 6am (and I'm sure they'd spend more at the concessions that that empty seat).

rubberdinghy Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 The weather was also terrible yesterday...don't forget...the ticket prices are absolutely redonkulous...I still can't believe parking is still 11 bones too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NHL needs young blood in the seats. And you're right in that they eat and drink too. Hell, they might even make some noise and inspire the team on the ice. Do you think they'll be requiring people do buy ticket packs for the 2010 season when buying playoff tickets this season (if they make it)? THey might as well just show their greed and institute broadcast blackouts while they're at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 How do you guys know how many tickets they are giving away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) They've dropped the prices for 2010 I believe...I have no idea how many tix are given away...I should also mention though that the 300's were packed last night....

Northern Wish Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I have no idea how many they are giving away, but my point is its not enough!While they don't show their greed with blackouts, and correct me if I am wrong- aren't there certain games that you can only see with a special cable pack?

rubberdinghy Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Pretty much every game is televised now on reg cable, save the odd one here and there....I'm still all about location location location....There is zero walk up crowd....I'd prolly go to way more games if it was downtown...each and everytime I go I hate the waiting and waiting and waiting to get out of the fucking parking lot....

dave-O Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 1 - They did away with the Sens PPV thing, so no special cable pack needed. It's all CBC/TSN/SNET-E.2 - I know Kev was joking, but there's no such thing as local blackouts for non-sold out games in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Oh and Dinghy, it's now $15 to park in the west lot where you can actually get out in a reasonable amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I'm surprised you don't take the bus to the games rubberd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Yeah seriously Scot!I took the bus on NYE and it was actually great: left my house near Tunneys Pasture at 5:50pm, was in the arena by 6:25. After the game we walked right up to the first #403, hopped on and were home in less than 45 minutes.But what I want to know is, aren't busses usually free on NYE?

Northern Wish Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Oh and Dinghy, it's now $15 to park in the west lot where you can actually get out in a reasonable amount of time.This is kind of lame actually. Since they have no ability to get traffic onto the highway in a reasonable amount of time- you can pay extra to get out quicker??But I guess you can also just pay the $35 valet fee and be out quicker too.....Oh Ottawa: you supporter of the thick line between the haves and the have nots.

Booche Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 But what I want to know is, aren't busses usually free on NYE? After 11pm (something like that) I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
