Though the Maple Leafs obviously have nothing to do with Pittsburgh’s decision to leave Crosby and Malkin at home, it’s difficult to imagine a consumer receiving less bang for his buck anywhere on earth. Which is part and parcel of being a ticket buyer in this city.
The price range for tonight’s exhibition match — though not a surprise — is nonetheless astounding. According to Ticketmaster, individual prices start at $95.00 and increase to $150.00, $165.00, $187.00, $196.00, $203.00, $217.00, $226.00 and $416.00. If you so desire, you can log onto Ticketmaster.ca and purchase a single seat in the very first row of Sec. 107 [right at the glass] for $423.50, all fees included. You can take your wife to the game for $847.00.
