How much do you pay for your NHL Hockey game tickets ?

[canabiz]

I am quite interested in going to see an NHL game this season, in this case that would be my hometown team the Ottawa Senators

I am curious to find out how much do you guys normally pay for a game day ticket (no season package or things like that)

I don't really care if it's a rivalry i.e. MTL or TOR coming to town, just looking to attend a first game first and see how it goes...

I checked the Ottawa Senators website and some 300 level seats could be had for $40 each...

I also did a tour on Ebay and tickets are alive and well

How's the food at the arenas overall ? Is this outrageously priced like at the movie theaters ?

Sens tickets are very easy to come by and are therefore low in price.
Yes, the food will be insanely expensive and you'll have to take out a second mortgage just to buy a hot dog at the arena. Beer will require a personal line of credit as it's also very expensive.

As for what I pay. I'm a Leafs fan, so I pay $85 for 300 level seats.

In the past yes they were easy to come by but thats not the case any more.They have sold the most season ticket they have ever sold and most of the top games from now till dec are almost sold out.

i pay about double the ticket value for my leaf tickets...*sigh*

and it's still only in the upper levels...but centre ice section...=)

Sportsfan are you coming to any of the early games ?

I'm bidding on some tix on Ebay for the opener, let's see how that goes

Good thing for that is there's no tax and no shipping fee LOL so let's see how much i can save off from Ticketmaster

I'm not sure what would be considered 300 level for the oilers at Rexall Place.
I bought an 8 game minipack for $325/seat. It is high up there, 2nd highest section... but it's not that bad for viewing.

I get a stream of ticket offers through a friend for various Sens games. I had to turn down box seats for the "Crosby Show" tonight as I don't get paid till tomorrow But I'm a Flames fan first, so I don't have any desire to pay full ticket prices for Sens games.

Now I wait for a Flames - Sens Stanley Cup Final....

That's not bad a deal Daemar, working out to about $40/game am I correct ?

Do you get to choose any of the game or are they like pre-selected or random ?

I may get tickets to more than 1 game and this is an option worth looking into...nothing much to do in those winter nights anyway

Just bought 4 tix to see the Leafs vs. Devils at the ACC on Dec 26 on Ebay. Cost me $100 each ticket, but I needed 4 or 5 (seated together) of them instead of a pair.

Want Detroit vs. Colorado tickets. Or even Montreal vs. Toronto. Or even Sens vs. Toronto.
