Anyone going to take out a second mortgage to go to the games? Prices announced today are $281 (nosebleed) - $931 (club) per ticket.

Even the scalpers will have to adjust their ticket prices proportionally up

Boston is holding a general lottery for tickets, winners will get to purchase two lower bowl tickets for $950!

Of course, if you take advantage of Air Canada's current sale ($280 each way to Boston), it is cheaper to buy in, and fly to, Boston than buy 2 club seats in Vancouver.

I'll be in Mtl for the F1 so it's only a few hours drive to Boston, going to do my best to score some tickets. I know game 7 against Tamp there were tix for $175, quite the bargain compared to what they would've been here.

Pretty sure the Commodore has been showing the games as well, not sure they are showing all of them though.
Rogers Arena will be open for all away games, tickets are $10 with the proceeds going to charity.

Is it true that Boston Pizza has temporarily changed all of it's BC signage to say "Vancouver Pizza"? I heard it on CBC this morning?!

yeah, that was a great game. I think the refs were a bit wonky after the 2nd, but a good game overall. My favourite part had to the end-to-end-to-end-to-end action in the 2nd. That, and the goal in the last minute

Question: is it actually legal to have mandatory bag checks on a public street? They had this at both the Granville and Hamilton screens. Seemed a bit much, to be honest. Not quite as bad as the freakin' metal detectors at the Yaletown LiveSite last year, but still kind of ridiculous.
